It’s time for the April 2023 Spellbinders Clubs!

It is Club time over at Spellbinders and this month does not disappoint! Every club this month is fabulous! Let’s get to the cards!

The Clear Stamp and Die of the Month is a great spring floral. You can use is as a large single image or cut it apart like I did and make multiple floral options. I paired it with the Essential Four Petal Labels Etched Dies and the sentiment from the  Large Die of the Month.

Here is the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month again. I love the look of an arched window using the Essential Arches Etched Dies, the Color Block Scenic Scape Etched Dies and my favorite Cloud Stencil.

Next is the 3-D Embossing Folder Club. This month and a bunch of patterns in one folder that you can use together or cut apart. I embossed black cardstock, cut the center out, swiped some distress oxide inks and added the sentiment from the  Large Die of the Month.

The Small Die of the Month kit is so pretty you can create all sorts of borders and shapes and cute them out too. So many creative opportunities with this set. Its paired with the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month.

Here I die cut the Small Die of the Month kit patterns on to a circle. Layered it and them add the sentiment from the Large Die of the Month and the flowers from the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month

I also have an Instagram Reel for this card. Are you following me on Instagram? You can find me HERE.

The Tool Time Glimmer Plate

Time to make your Masculine cards. Today is the new Nailed It! Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from the Toolbox Essentials Collection from Spellbinders.

NEW from Spellbinders: The Victorian Collection

Today I am sharing a few cards featuring gorgeous new products from the Spellbinders Victorian Collection by Susan Tierney. I used the Glimmer Ferns Glimmer Hot Foil Plate  and the Camellia Etched Dies. Both are simply gorgeous in different ways!

This is the Glimmer Ferns Glimmer Hot Foil Plate in gold foil. I lightly watercolored it and fussy cut it out. Then I layered with with a bold foiled Sentiment (link below) and the Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate Etched Die and a die cut flower from last months club. It’s got so much delicate detail and I love how it turned out!

Next up is a larger card -5×7 with the Glimmer Ferns Glimmer Hot Foil Plate . Perfect for a wedding or any occasion that is congratulatory. I rarely (pretty much never) make cards this big!

The sentiment is from Outlined Sentiments (Small Die of the Month Aug 2022) and the Embossing folder is the 3-D Embossing Club for March. A new fav of mine!

Finally I have the Camellia Etched Die card. These flower dies create such beautiful dimension.

For this card I used some distress oxides on the flower to get the darker center. The Sentiment is gold foil Splatter Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Yana’s Layered Script Sentiments Etched Dies. That’s the beautiful Spring Burst – 3D Embossing Folder (Club Month Feb 2023) To get the look add white pigment ink directly on your folder then emboss the Kraft cardstock.

SPELLBINDERS CLUB TIME- FEBRUARY 2023 (PART 2)

I’m back today to share the rest of my Spellbinders club projects using the Large Die of the Month kit. I had lots of fun creating these and really like how these turned out.

For this card I paired yellow and cream cardstock for the base and then went with Oranges and blues for the pops of color. Sadly this months This month’s “Spring Reflection” Large Die of the Month kit is already sold out. Make sure you are in the club so you don’t miss out!

Here I used one of the floral dies by itself with one of my favorite sentiment sets- the Just Wanted To Say Collection Sentiments Clear Stamp Set. (used on both cards) I love the simplicity of this design so much I realized I made a very similar card here.

Even though the Feb. club is sold out you can join the waitlist to get next month . Sign up now these are always fun and there are tons of ideas to use them. You can subscribe to multiple clubs!  Details of how it works HERE

Introducing Spellbinder’s NEW FOUR PETAL COLLECTION

If you like flowers, this collection is for you! I’m in LOVE!! It is super easy to use and creates beautiful cards. A perfect combination. I have 4 cards to share today. Each one has a different color palette.

This card has purple flowers with some light blue all created using the Essential Four Petal Labels Etched Dies die set. I wanted the florals to be the main highlight so I kept the card white and use the Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder . The sentiment is made with Black Foil and the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments.

Next is a clean and simple card using the Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder and the Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate Etched Die  and Essential Four Petal Labels Etched Die sets. After embossing the light green cardstock I swiped it with some white pigment ink. This is such an easy way to make the florals pop.

This cover plate style Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate Etched Die  set has gorgeous details. I used the center on the card above and the other 2 pieces are on the card below. Die cutting tips: add a shim, instead of placing the die face down on the paper- make it face up with the paper on top and run it through your machine 2 times.

The Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate Etched Die cut is layered with printed paper cut with Essential Four Petal Labels Etched Dies. I love this die as white on white- so pretty.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to get crafty.

My Favorite Things: Polar Bear Pals

I love these guys! Can you guess how long I have had this Polar Bear Pals Stamp and matching Die set? YEARS! It was time to ink them up as the temps are dropping this week it was time for a cold critter invasion. I have 5 adorably FUN cards to share today.

First up are the skating bears. I love the Spellbinders Flurry of Snowflakes 3D embossing folder and this is another way to use it.

The Ice and the icebergs are highly colored with a light blue copic. I also lightly colored the snowflakes with the same marker. Sadly the little iceberg dies are not available.

I had a few extra backgrounds leftover from these cards. I love when I can repurpose them into another project. Do you save everything too?

This is stitching for the “ice” is from Spellbinders Winter Borders Etched Dies. The pink and blue in the background is pulled into the design with the pink and blue in the scarf.

Next is a masculine Birthday card. I really struggled with the background on this one. There are so many options like plaid papers and snow papers. I settled on the stripe embossing folder (retired) but now I wish I added a little more color with distress oxides instead.

How about a Valentine or 2?

As Valentines Day is right around the corner it was. time to make some love themed cards.

These Winter Trees Die-namics are an easy peasy way to add birch trees to your background. I bought them a few months ago but can’t remember what project they were for. (UGH). I went with white on white however, gray, tan, or brown color can work with these tree dies! Almost always I make my snow mounds with the Color Block Scenic Scape Etched Dies.

Finally a Mini Slimline Valentine. This card is made with the only the dies from the December 2022 clear stamp and die of the month club and the NEW Wonderful Script Sentiments Etched Dies.

I have 2 layers of white letters and 2 layers of the black “you” to add more dimension to the card. If you need another idea for using these “LOVE” letters I made THIS CARD on Instagram and a cute card on THIS POST.

NEW From Spellbinders: THE ANEMONE BLOOMS COLLECTION

Today I am sharing some beautiful pink and rose gold cards using products from the new Anemone Blooms Collection by Yana Smakula and Spellbinders! Lets get glimmering and die cutting!

This collection is simply beautiful. This card features the Anemone Glimmer Blooms Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set  and the coordinating Hello, Friend Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. and if you don’t glimmer – there are dies for the flower too!

I used regular rose gold hot foil and then colored the image in with pale colored copics to give it just a little color. There is New Satin Rose Gold Foil. Don’t forget to grab the Wonderful Script Sentiments Etched Dies so you can also cut your hot foil sentiments. (they go together). Here is a peek at my Instagram reel:

Here is the gorgeous Beautiful Blooms 3D Embossing folder paired with a reverse foiled sentiment. If you missed it, reverse foiling details are HERE.

More reverse foiling below with the Essential Glimmer Solid Circle Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. One of may favs!

And finally I have hot pink foil. I had this Geometic Flower glimmer background (colored with the Layered Geometric Flower Stencils) on my stamp table from another project. Are you getting all the pink feels today?
