Spellbinders large die set of the month December - Layered stitched background

Hi friends, welcome to my blog.

It's time to share my first card made with the December large die set.

This month's set consists of 6 cutting dies and it is a stitching die set again. 

We have seen more stitching die sets this year and I love these kind of dies.

 It's so relaxing to stitch, great for stress relief!

Here is my card. It is a Christmas themed card but you can use the dies

 for all kinds of celebrations.

I went for a very colorful Christmas card. I was inspired by this picture I found in Pinterest.

I love all the different colors and I wanted to do something different then the

traditional red/green/gold.

For the stitching I used 2 strands of embroidery thread.

The sentiment is from the Spellbinders October small die set.

This set is still available at Spellbinders here.

To embellish the card I added multi colored gems and a glitter bow with two bells.

Spellbinder large die set of the month November - Christmas foliage strip and borders

 Hi friends! The Spellbinders November large die set is here! 

and of course it has a Christmas theme. 

This month's set features 13 cutting dies.

Four of them are borders dies. They are 8,5 inches long so perfect for slimline cards 

with beautiful borders. 

The other pieces are floral and leaves to decorate your Christmas creations.

Here's my Christmas card.

The color scheme I went for is not traditional Christmas but I love these colors together.

For the white top part of the card I used two border dies, the holiday and the loops border.

Then I decorated the holiday border with the flowers and foliage.

The sentiment is from the October large die set.

Spellbinders Large die of the month August - Hex Kaleidoscope slimline

Hi, welcome to my blog.

It's the beginning of the month and that means that all the Spellbinders monthly club kits 

are revealed.

I'm sharing my inspiration using the large die set: hex kaleidoscope slimline.

This month's set has 5 cutting dies and with it you can create slimline cards with a

 stunning dimensional motif.

I started by making my own colored papers. I searched online for a beautiful color palette and

 I found this one; beautiful beachglass colors.

Then I imported the image in Photoshop and made a A4 sheet of each color which

 I printed out.

My cardbase is a rectangular 8 1/4 x 3 1/4 from creamy white cardstock.

The 3 hexagons dies are the same size, but each has a slightly different design.

I die cut each one from different colored cardstock and stack them to make the dimensional motifs.

]

I used little hexagon drop out pieces to fill in the background randomly.

The sentiment is a die cut from the Spellbinders Simply perfect collection.

Finally I embellished the card with little pearls in matching colors.

These squares are the same size, but each have a slightly different design. Die-cut and stack them to show a stunning dimensional motif.

Gift box with the Spellbinders Universal Curved Borders die set

 Hi, today I have a short blog post sharing a cute gift box I've made using the Spellbinders

large die set of the month April - Universal Curved borders.

The box is an exploding box from GoatBox. It has a pretty dusty pink color.

I die cut the flowers and borders from dusty blue, sage and white cardstock.

The sentiment on the lid and on the side are gold foiled using 

the mini everyday sentiments.

The universal curved border die set is still available in the Spellbinders shop.

Spellbinders large die set of the month April - Universal curved border set

 Hi crafty friends!

I'm back to share a card I made with the Spellbinders Large die set of the month April - 

the Universal curved borders die set.

This set has 11 cutting dies and you can mix and match them to create beautiful cards.

I made this Mother's Day card.

The pretty flower paper I used is digital from Amity Bloom on Etsy.

The matching sage colored cardstock I made myself in photoshop to match the colors

 in the patterned paper.

I have weaved a ribbon through the holes of the lattice die cut and used that 

same ribbon to make a little bow.

I placed an oval lace applique above the ribbon and glued on a small flower 

with leaves which are part of the die set,

The sentiment is made in word and printed on ivory cardstock.

On the upside of the card I attached a pretty ribbon trim.

 Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

How awesome is that!?

You can make 3 different animals with the set, a bunny, a sheep or a chicklet.

This die set is perfect for you spring or Easter cards, the possibilities are endless.

 I made an Easter card with the cute chicklet.

When you pull the lever the little chick moves from side to side.

The paper I used is digital. I bought it at The DigiRainbow on Etsy.

Spellbinders large die of the month February

 Hi, I'm back with yet another card using the Spellbinders Large die of the

 month February 2021.

I've already showed you two other examples, you can find them here in this blog post.

This card is a clean and simple card.

I started with an 13,5 x 13,5 cm top fold ivory card base.

I rounded the bottom corners using a cornerpunch from Vaessen creative.

Next I die cut the word happy, the numbers and the superscript out of patterned papers 

from Lemoncraft called "Yesterday".

Once out of the flowery patterned paper and once from the mint colored paper.

I glued the flower patterned die cuts off set on the mint colored.

Behind the mint piece I glued 4 layers of white cardstock die cuts, so the letters and numbers are pretty thick.

I glued them on a paper panel and added mint colored enamel dots.

This card is simple and easy to make, most of the time goes into the gluing of the layers.

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month February

 Hello, nice of you to visit my blog.

Today I'm sharing two cards I've made with the Spellbinders large die of the month February.

This set is called "Birthday Wishes for Everyone" and it includes 14 cutting dies;  the word happy, numbers from 0 to 9, a line and superscripts.

The first card I've made is for a sweet 16th birthday girl.

I cut strips of paper from different colored cardstock and silver glitterpaper and 

glued these strips to copy paper. Then I die cut the pieces.

This gives a wonderful effect.

The card is embellished with a organza bow and varied sequins.

My second card is for a 40th birthday.

This time I went for a white, black and gold color scheme.

For the flowers and twigs I used the dies from the January large die set.
