Spellbinders | June 2022 Large Die of the Month

Hello and happy June (the year is passing by quicky)! I am sharing an A2-sized card created with the June 2022 Large Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder of the Month memberships at Spellbinders.

Dry-emboss light-teal cardstock with the Embossing Folder of the Month “Botanical Diamond.” Attach to card base.
With the Large Die of the Month “Paisley Dreams” set, cut elements from Snowdrift, Brushed Gold, orange, and dark teal cardstock. Assemble.
Glimmer-foil in Matte Gold on Snowdrift the sentiment from the Mini Sincere Sentiments set. Cut with die in the Large Die of the Month set.
Add elements to dry-embossed card background.

Spellbinders | Add to Cart Too Collection

Hello! Today I am sharing a gardening-themed card featuring products from the recently released Add to Cart Too Collection at Spellbinders. The sets are designed to work with or without the Shopping Cart. I share more inspiration with the Add to Cart Too Collection over on the Spellbinders blog.

- - Cut frame from Snowdrift cardstock with dies in the Fluted Classics Squares set.
  - Create background by applying Distress Oxide inks on Snowdrift cardstock to create a ground and sky. Trim as necessary and add background to 4 1/2-inch square card base. Adhere frame.
  - With the Plant It Here set, cut the boots, plant, and terracotta pot (on right in photo). Cut the boots again from Onyx cardstock. Trim the yellow boots and adhere to black boots. Note: I die-cut most of the elements from cardstock colored with Distress Oxide inks.
  - With the Shopping Run set, cut the planter and plant (on the left).
  - With the In the Garden set, cut the handle for the spade.
  - Assemble elements and add to card background.
  - Foil Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments in Red on Snowdrift cardstock and add to card with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | Color Block Petals

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, mini slimline card featuring the Spellbinders Color Block Mini Shapes – Petals. I previously shared three cards showcasing the Color Block Mini Shapes Collection here.

Dry-emboss a mini slimline base with the Diamond Plaid folder.
Cut Color Block Mini Shapes – Petals from navy, light blue, tan, and dark brown cardstock (cutting each color eight times). Cut base from ivory cardstock with solid petal die. Assemble. Note: I left the centers of the petals empty, revealing the ivory base.
Foil Be Bold “Hello” in Matte Gold on ivory cardstock; cut with coordinating die.
Tape petals together on back. Add to dry-embossed base. Add sentiment with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | May 2022 Club Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders May 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Kotas. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a die-cut, mini-slimline, birthday card with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Stitched for You” and Embossing Folder Kit Club “Faux Stitch.”

Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, March 15, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

Dry-emboss sky with Embossing Folder Kit Club “Faux Stitch.” Attach gray cardstock ground to the sky panel (I put the debossed side up) and add assembly to mini-slimline card base.
Cut Open Road car and balloons. Assemble car. Glue strings to balloons. Once dry, loop strings through the piece on the car.
Cut sentiment with dies in the Large Die of the Month kit “Stitched for You” from Onyx cardstock. To precisely place the letters on the card, I cut the sentiment mats (separate dies) with the letters in place as guides. Given the mini-slimline size, I did not have enough room to include the sentiment mats on the card.
Embellish with Silver Mix Gems.

Looking for more inspiration? I used the Embossing Folder Kit Club and Large Die of the Month here and here.
