Spellbinders December Clubs

 Hello!  I'm popping in on this very snowy afternoon to share the cards I have made with this month's Spellbinders clubs.    This month's clubs are all about love.  I know, I know... we haven't even had Christmas yet, but Valentine's day will be here before we know it.   My cards aren't done in traditional valentine colors though.  Take a look.

This first card features the December Glimmer club called Floral Framed Glimmering Heart.  The large floral heart and sentiment were foiled using blush foil on Glacier cardstock.  I love the look.   The floral heart panel was die cut down to fit my card front and adhered.  I then die cut the sentiments with the included banner die and popped them up in the center of the heart.   There are also die included that die cut flowers and leaves.  I die cut a flower and leaves from the Glacier cardstock then adhered them below the sentiments.  A little blue gem was added to the flower for a finishing touch.  I'm going to post this one to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.

The second card also uses the December Glimmer club and the embossing folder club called Heart Blooms.  Isn't it pretty?!  I die cut the panel of Glacier cardstock and then embossed it with the folder.  I flipped the panel over because I wanted to use the debossed side.  Another look I really love!   The Glimmer club includes the solid heart and scalloped heart.   I foiled each one separately and then die cut them.  The scalloped heart had the center die cut out so I could place the solid foiled heart in the center.  I die cut additional hearts to layer in the center to give the foiled heart more dimension.  The sentiment is another die from the Glimmer club.  I really like how it embosses the sentiment into the center of the banner.  I adhered the hearts and then popped up the banner in the center. 

This card is a little departure from the other two cards in that I used a completely different color scheme.  This card will be posted to Color Throwdown as I used those colors for my card.   The December stamp and die club is called My Forever Person and features two heart images as well as images that spell out the word love.  I used the large floral heart image for this card.  I stamped it with VersaMark watermark ink and then embossed it in silver.  I did simple Copic coloring for the image and then die cut it with the matching heart shaped die.  The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink and die cut with a sentiment strip.  That was popped up in the center of the heart.  I die cut white cardstock and then embossed it with the embossing folder.  This time I used the embossed side.  

All three cards are very clean and simple, but I hope you like them.  Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Spellbinders November Clubs

 Hello!  Can you believe it is already November?  I can't, lol!  Where has the year gone?!  Anyway, today is the first day of November and that means that all the new Spellbinders clubs are available in the web store.  I have three cards to share today featuring the embossing folder, Glimmer and clear stamp and die clubs.  (An affiliate linked list of supplies is at the end of this post.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.)   Let's take a look at what I made with this month's clubs.

The first card features the stamp and die club called Diamond & Arch Motif, as well as the embossing folder club called Fan Motif.  I die cut Spellbinders Glacier cardstock with a rectangle die and embossed it with the club folder.  I decided to keep things simple by just embossing the largest floral image from the stamp set, as well as the sentiment with gold embossing powder.  After die cutting I popped both up on the card front with foam tape.  

This card features the Glimmer Club called Glimmer Edge Stylized Floral.  The club kit comes with Aura foil.   The Aura foil looks so pretty foiled on the aqua cardstock.   The new Glimmer foil plate allows you to foil all the images as well as the sentiment in one pass.   I decided to go with a monochromatic look and so I made a card base and panel from the same cardstock I used to foil the images.   After adhering all the pieces, I popped up the sentiment.  Going to add this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. 

My final card uses the embossing folder called Fan Motif.   I die cut white cardstock with a rectangle die and then embossed it with the embossing folder.   I also used the Glimmer club.  This time I foiled the images using the new white opaque foil on pink cardstock.  It is so pretty!   The sentiment is from the stamp and die cut club that I heat embossed in white on the pink cardstock.   The small rectangle was die cut from vellum.  I adhered the flower, leaves and sentiment to the vellum and then placed foam adhesive behind the images so they are hidden.  The panel was then adhered to a pink cardstock base.

Spellbinders October Clubs

 Happy October everyone!   Hard to believe it is October because here in Western Washington it feels more like summer!    And with it being the 1st of October that means all the new Spellbinders clubs are in the Spellbinders store.   Even though fall is in full swing the Spellbinders October clubs are all about Christmas and everything is just gorgeous!  (An affiliate linked list of products will be at the end of this post.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.  I truly appreciate it!)   Let's take a look at my cards.

First up is a card I made using the October Glimmer club called Poinsettia Spray and the October embossing folder called Scattered Christmas.   For this card I went with traditional Chrsitmas colors of red, green and gold.   I decided to just simply foil the image using Matte Gold foil on Spellbinders Pomegranate cardstock and then die cut it with the matching die.  The sentiment is part of the kit and was also foiled in Matte Gold on Pomegranate.  I die cut dark green cardstock with the largest die from the Fluted Rectangles die collection, placed it in the Scattered Christmas embossing folder and ran it through my Platinum 6.  The panel was adhered to a card base and then I added the image and the sentiment.  I'm going to add this one to the Simon Says Stamp World Cardmaking day gallery. 

This next card is very simple, too.  I stamped the small poinsettia image and a flower cluster (twice) from the Wonderful Christmas stamp and die set with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink and colored with Copics and then die cut them with the matching dies.  I arranged the cluster and adhered it the dark blue cardstock panel.  The sentiment from the stamp set was heat embossing using platinum embossing powder.   The panel was then added to a dark blue cardstock base.  I love the non-traditional color scheme of this card.   I'm going to add this one to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. 

My final card also has a non-traditional color scheme.  I wanted to go with a soft look for the large cluster from the stamp and die set.  I colored the poinsettia with light pink Copics and then added in some yellow.  The berries were colored in light red Copics, the pod/flowers in light yellow Copics and the greenery in light green Copics.  I trimmed down Pink Sand cardstock and embossed it with the Scattered Christmas embossing folder.  I decided to use the debossed side of the panel instead of the embossed side.  The panel was adhered to a cardstock base and then I layered a rectangle die cut from Dahlia cardstock using the Fluted Rectangle die set.  Before adhering the floral clusters to my card base I stamped the sentiment in black.   I  applied some distress collage medium to the clusters and then added Rock Candy glitter.  The pieces are so sparkly in person.  Once they were dry I added them to the card front.

Spellbinders August Club Release

 Happy August everyone!  Can't believe it is already August.  Where did July go?   It is the first of August and that means that all the new Spellbinders clubs have been revealed.  This month is another good one!  As is always the case I have several cards to share.  You can see all the clubs here.   Joining is easy and a really good value.  Please check it out.  (A list of affiliate linked supplies is at the bottom of this post.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.)

This card features the Glimmer kit called Illustrated Floral and Solid and as you can see the floral element is beautiful!  You also get a roll of matte gold foil.  I had never used the matte gold foil before so was eager to try it out.  I absolutely love it!  I also used the July embossing folder called Intertwined Lattice.  I just love this new embossing folder!   After foiling the floral image I colored it very simply with Copic markers and die cut it with the matching die. I embossed Spellbinders Raindrop cardstock with the July embossing folder after die cutting the panel with an Essentials Rectangle die.  I adhered the panel to a cardstock base and then popped up floral image, as well as the foiled sentiment.  I finished off the card gold fashion embellishments.  Going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

This card features the July stamp and die club called Perfect Floral Bloom.   This set is full of so many pretty floral images and there are dies to match all the florals and leaf stems. The stamp set also includes several sentimets.  For my card I used a sentiment that was foiled when I was creating the first card.    And again, I used the July embossing folder.  This time I flipped the embossed panel over and used the debossed side.  I created the little envelope using a die from a Spellbinders card kit from last year and Simple Stories Vintage Indigo Garden patterned papers. I kept the envelope neutral so that the bright flowers would shine. I then filled my little envelope with all the different blooms and leaves from the stamp set.  I also used the sentiment because I thought it was very appropriate with my little envelope.  I finished off the card with tiny crystal gems from the Spellbinders crystal mix essential gems.

My final card is a bit of a bonus card.  As indicated by the name of the Glimmer kit there is a solid plate that comes in the kit.  I used it to do the reverse foiling for the sentiment.  I used my square solid plate to reverse foil the large floral image.  I then die cut them with the matching die.  I had the dark green cardstock on my desk from another project so I embossed it with the folder.  I thought it looked nice with the solid matte gold foiling.  I decided to keep things simple and not add any additional embellishments to the card.

Spellbinders June Clubs

 Hello everyone!  It is June 1st and that means there are new Spellbinders club kits available in the Spellbinders shop!  I have four projects to share today.  First up are two cards that I created with the Glimmer club kit. 

The June Glimmer kit is called Paisley Glimmer and includes a plate that allows you to foil two rows of paisley shapes.  There are also dies that can be used to cut out the shapes.  I used the one that cuts out the full shape.  I had a bunch of scraps of white cardstock so I used those to foil the plate with rainbow foil from the kit.  It took a while to foil everything and then die cut all the shapes, but I think it was worth it.  There are three sentiments and I foiled all of them, as well, with the rainbow foil.  I popped up all the shapes on a panel of white cardstock and then added the sentiment.  I finished by adding Nuvo drops in Morning Dew to center of the shapes with the flowers.  (Affiliate linked list of supplies available at the end of this post.  Using my links allows to me earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.)

This second card is a bonus card as I had some of the paisley shapes left over and didn't want them to go to waste.  I used the June embossing folder to emboss the small white panel.   I adhered the panel to a card base and then arranged the shapes, as well as the sentiment.  

The third card uses the stamp and die club kit called Paisley Bouquet.  There are several paisley images, as well as medallion images that have matching dies and two sentiments with matching dies.   I stamped all the images and sentiments on Spellbinders Cosmic Sky with watermark ink and then heat embossed everything with gold embossing powder.  After die cutting all the pieces I decided to layer up the medallions to create a layered one.  I foiled the paisley strip from the Glimmer kit in gold on Spellbinder Alabaster cardstock and then die cut it with a rectangle die.  I layered up all the images on a panel of white cardstock and then finished with drops of gold glitter to the top flower.

My final card showcases the beauty of the June embossing folder called Botanical Diamond.  I die cut Cosmic Sky cardstock with an essentials rectangle die and then centered the panel in the embossing folder.  After embossing the panel I added it to a white cardstock base and finished it off with one of the sentiments from the stamp and die kit and some gold fashion pearls.
