Spellbinders March Club Kits

 Hello and happy March everyone!   I'm popping in with a few projects I created with the Spellbinders March club kits.  Most specifically I'm using the Glimmer kit and the stamp and die kit.   Normally I also share a project with the embossing folder, but unfortunately due to supply issues I did not receive the March embossing folder.  It is beautiful and you can still check it out here.   Now... on to my cards! (Affiliate links used where possible.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for using my links.   My Glimmer hot foil system was used for all foiling and the Platinum 6 was used for all die cutting.  I also used Bearly Art glue.)

This card was created with the March Glimmer kit called Glimmer Edge Roses.  I foiled the rose and leaves using Aura foil, colored it with Copic markers and then die cut it with the matching dies.  The background piece that the rose sits on is an older Spellbinders kaleidoscope die.  I die cut it from bright blue and white and then adhered them together.  I used a rectangle die from the Fluted Rectangles die set to cut additional bright blue cardstock.  I adhered the bright blue panel to a white cardstock base and then added the square piece, the rose and leaves.  I foiled the sentiment with Aura foil, die cut it and adhered it to the card front.   As many of you know the people of Ukraine are under attack.  I used the colors of the Ukrainian flag for my card.  I will be posting this card to the current Color Hues challenge.

For my second card using the Glimmer Edge Roses I used the leftover foil and one of those plates that allows you to use that leftover foil to create a different kind of look.  I really love how the roses and the leaves turned out.  I used the layout from the Paper Players so I will be posting my card there.   Another older Spellbinders kaleidoscope die set was used as a backdrop for my roses and leaves.  One layer was die cut from Glacier cardstock and the other from white.  I used one of the dies from the Fluted Ovals die set and cut it from Spellbinders Glacier cardstock.  The sentiment is from a stamp set by Sushma Hegde and was embossed in gold on vellum.   

Since I still had my Copics out when I began to make my card using the March stamp and die kit I decided to continue to use them and add bright blue to the yellows and greens I was already using. This kit is appropriately called Spring Gnomes.  I just love how my little she gnome turned out!  After coloring and die cutting all my pieces I added some Nuvo Jewel drops in Morning Dew to the centers of the flowers and the little polka dots on the banners.  I then die cut some smooth bristol cardstock with an Essentials rectangle die and did a little ink blending and stenciling.  I used Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink for the grass and Salty Ocean for the sky/clouds.  More of that bright blue cardstock was used for the larger rectangle that I adhered to a white cardstock base.  I added the scene rectangle to the card front along with the sentiment from the set.   I was so happy to see that Spellbinders included dies that cut out the sentiments with this month's kit!  

Going to post this little cutie to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge before it closes! Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
