Spellbinders Club Kits Blog Hop

 Hello, welcome at the SPELLBINDERS CLUBS January Blog Hop 

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 large die of the month January 2021

 Hi and welcome to my blog.

First I would like to wish you a Happy New Year. 

May 2021 bring you lots of  happiness, love, good health and laughter!!!

Today I'm sharing my first project with the Spellbinders large die of the month.

Last year I was a designer for Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace monthly die set, but this year I'm sharing my inspiration with the large and small die sets.

Today this month's large die set; a slimeline die called "kaleidoscope hearts"

This set has 10 cutting dies and is perfect for your Valentines cards but also 

for wedding/engagement cards.

I made my own cardstock by using this color scheme.

With photoshop I've created the colored cardstock I wanted to use in my card.

I die cut all the pieces, the larger panel is die cut twice, once in light pink the other in a darker 

pink to offset the pieces for a more whimsical look.

Just look at those adorable little flowers and leaves! They are super cute.

I made the sentiment in Word and printed it on pink cardstock.

If you've fallen in love with this die set as I did then please visit the 

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club for more info.

All other Spellbinders monthly clubs can be found here.

I hope you'll visit me on the 7th when I'm sharing my make using the 

Spellbinders small die set.

Thanks!

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Will you be my valentine?

Valentine is just a few days away and for the occasion I made something different then the usual card this time. I like to make matchboxes with a funny or little surprise inside and I saw this idea on a Dutch craft website. So I made a matchbox with a valentine garland inside.

I made the matchbox using a printable template from http://www.templatemaker.nl/.
You can adjust the measurements for your box so I made this box so the garland could fit.

The paper I used for the box and the circles is from Pebbles called "spring fling".

For the circles I used dies and a punch.

The letters I made in photoshop and printed them out. The circles are 3 layers of paper and I punched holes in it. With a string and needle I made the garland.

The heart on top of the matchbox is an unbranded die from ebay.

When the recipient opens the matchbox and pulls out the garland it says "will you be my Valentine?" I thought this is an original idea for a Valentine surprise, don't you?

I'm entering this paper project in these challenges:

Need Hugs?

On this valentine's day I'm not sharing a card with you but a cute milk carton design I've made using a new stamp set I bought from paper smooches.

I printed a milk carton template on blue cardstock (it isn't the right cardstock because the folds are not very smooth).
For the grass I used a die. The clouds are free templates from internet and the stamps are from Paper smooches and mama elephant (little hearts flowers). I colored the cute bears and flowers with spectrum noir markers.

The carton can be filled with Valentine candy to give to a loved one.
I'm entering this project in these challenges:
