Spellbinders May Club Kits

 Happy May Day everyone!  Since it is the first day of May that means that all the May Spellbinders club kits have been revealed.   The kits this month are fun and several of them share the theme of stitching.  At the end of my blog post I have a supply list with affiliate links.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support!  Now let's take a look at what I created. 

This first card was created with the May Glimmer kit called Stitched Glimmer Butterfly.  The foil included with this month's kit is gold.  I was so excited when I first pulled out the plates and dies for this kit.  Then, and I'm being very honest here, I got a little concerned.  I struggled to figure out how the some of the Glimmer plates worked with the butterflies in the kit.  After a couple of days of thinking about it off and on I figured out something that worked for me.  It was a little time consuming, but the end result turned out pretty nice.  There are plates that allow you to hot foil stitching lines on the butterfly.  For me to make it work I had to first die cut the butterfly, tape the plates in their correct places, slide in the foil and then placed it on my Glimmer.   It was a bit "touch and go", but as you can see it worked!  Hot foiling the sentiment was much easier, lol!  I used gold foil for the sentiment and the butterfly.  There are also dies that allow you to create stitching holes in the butterfly.  I plan to make something using those dies in the near future.  To finish the card, I die cut some butterfly pattern paper with the oval stitching die from the February 2022 small die kit.  I adhered that to patterned paper from the same pad as the butterfly paper and then added it to a card base made from Spellbinders Alabaster cardstock.   For a little sparkle I die cut the body and antenna from gold glitter cardstock.  I will add this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. 

This card was created using items from the stamp and die kit called Stitched Color Wheel.  I stamped the thread bobbins on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored each bobbin simply with Copic markers.  I then die cut them with the matching die.  I love how the die cuts out a little slot like you find on embroidery floss bobbins!   I used the octagon shaped die from the kit to cut light gray cardstock that I had embossed with the embossing folder kit.  I die cut two additional octagons and adhered them to the embossed one.  This was popped up on a white die cut panel.  I stamped the sentiment on one of the bobbins and then adhered them to the octagon.  The panel was then adhered to a light gray cardstock base.  Very simple, but cute.  At the suggestion of my bloggy friend, Linda, who is on the Die Cut Diva's design team I'm going to add this card to their challenge of anything goes.  Thanks for letting me know, Linda!

And my final card features the embossing folder called Faux Stitch.  I embossed my favorite light blue cardstock,  Spellbinders Glacier, after I had die cut it with a rectangle die.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders and was something that I got for free from Scrapbook.com.  I die cut it from Spellbinders Raindrop cardstock and then two more times from a scrap of Glacier cardstock.  I adhered them together and placed them on the embossed panel.  I die cut two flowers using the Delicious Decorations from the Pie Perfection die set from Raindrop and the leaves from a light green.  I adhered those to the card front and then added drops of Nuvo glitter drops in Silver Moondust to the centers of the flowers and to the centers of the starbursts (I guess that is what you could call them).
