Spellbinders small die set of the month October 2021 - Holiday Haul

Hello crafty friends. 

Today I'm sharing my makes with the Spellbinders small die set of the month October, 

== Holiday Haul ==

The October set has 14 cutting dies and can be used for Christmas cards but 

also for Thanksgiving cards.

More information about the Spellbinders small die of the month membership 

can be found here.

I made these three Christmas cards.

The background paper is from a paperpad I had in my stash. 

I love the Scandinavian look of that paper.

I die cut the truck out of red, green and blue cardstock.

You can use the tree die cut or the gift box die cut to put in the back of the truck.

There's also a pumpkin included in the set for fall/thanksgiving cards.

The sentiments on the cards are from the October large die set.

Spellbinders large die of the month May - Stitched card front, border and flower

 Hi friends.

A few days ago I shared my card with the Spellbinders small die of this month and 

today I'm sharing my make with the May large die set.

This set is called stitched card front, border and flowers and it consists of 7 cutting dies.

I used the border and the flower embroidery dies to create my card.

The colors scheme I used is pink and green, not a combination I have used often.

The bright colors do pop and  luckily I had matching embroidery thread.

The sentiment stamp is from the May clear stamp of the month.

The card is embellished with a lace trim on the top and a few sequins.

The Spellbinders design team have created gorgeous projects with the January kits to share with you. Please check each blog on the hop for inspiration.

Hopefully you have found your way to me after checking out Jean Manis blog.

For my card I was inspired by the cute sweethearts candy.

These iconic heart shaped candies are perfect to celebrate Valentine and to use in

combination with the January large die set 

I used this color palette to make my own colored cardstock and cut out all the elements.

I used a slightly darker colored cardstock to offset the die cuts.

On the three larger hearts I printed Valentine sayings.

Finally I've added a bundle of flowers and sprigs beneath the yellow heart.

Spellbinders small die of the month January 2021

 Hello everyone!

As of January 2021 I'm part of the Spellbinders large and small die of the month 

design team and here's my first card with the January small die set called "Love card creator".

I love this die set, it is very intricate and pretty.

This lovely card creator has 4 cutting dies and you can create beautiful love cards

 with it for many occasions.

 I used this color scheme with the pretty dusty blue and pink to create my card.

I die cut the heart shape in the center two times, one in light pink and one in darker pink.

If you glue the pieces slightly offset, you'll get a great effect.

I've added little white pearls on the flowers in the centre panel and blue pearls in the 4 corners.

The sentiment is made in word and then printed on the dusty pink paper.

You can find the small die of the month club here.

Spellbinders APG die of the Month December Rose Garden Promise

 Hi, I'm excited to share another card I've made with the December

 Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace die set.

It's called "Rose Garden Promise" and it creates the most beautiful inlaid cards.

There's a video tutorial available on the Spellbinders and Amazing Paper Grace blog on 

how to used this die set.

The cardstock I used for this card I made myself using a color palette and Photoshop.

That way I can create any colored cardstock I want.

It was much fun to make this card with the beautiful colors.

I feels like you're making a mosaic.

Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace die of the month June

Hi and welcome to my blog. 

The Spellbinders APG June die set is called "Snip it Grid and calendar creator".

 This set has 41 die templates and it includes a grid, 35 letters, 18 numbers, a banner, two word dies and flower dies. This set is perfect for your handmade Save the Date cards.

I've created two cards with this set and today I'm sharing the first project a

 "save the date easel card".

The small flowers are from another Amazing Paper Grace 

die set Candlewick Grand Pocket etched die.

I used rose gold hot foiling on some of the elements like the save the date, 

the hearts and a few of the flowers.

The rose gold shimmer gives the card a pretty look.

I went for a beautiful wedding color scheme with blush pink, tan and rose gold.

I didn't have the exact colored cardstock I needed but I made them my self using photoshop.

I browsed the internet for the colors I wanted to use.

After I selected the color combination I liked, I uploaded the picture in PS

 and with the eyedropper tool and the paint bucket tool I created the colored cardstock.

If you know a bit about Photoshop this is an easy way to make any colored cardstock you want.

I just love this color combination.

It is a bit of a work to glue on all the numbers and letters but the result is 

a beautiful handmade card.

I can imagine that making such a card for everyone is a bit much but 

you can make a few for the special persons in your life.

Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace die of the Month - Retro type writer

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing another card I've made with this month's die from the Spellbinders APG die of the month club.

The previous project was a vintage typewriter card, today's card 

is also retro but more the 50's/60's style.

Becca Feeken's amazing die set, the pop up 3D vignette typewriter has 14 elements. 

You can watch a video by Becca on how to assemble all the pieces here.

My typewriter is mint with white, silver and pink.

I placed the 3D typewriter on black and white checkered paper.

This time I did not used the sentiments that came with the set but I made 

the three sentiments in word using a retro font and printed them out on pink cardstock.

I do like the mint colored typewriter.
