Happy February friends! It’s reveal day for the February 2023 Club Kits from Spellbinders and there are some beautiful spring designs this month! Today I’m sharing seven card projects featuring the Large Die of the Month, Small Die of the Month, Glimmer Kit of the Month, Clear Stamp of the Month Kit, Embossing Folder of the Month, 3D Embossing Folder of the Month (NEW in 2023!), Stitching Die of the Month (NEW in 2023!), and Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Kits.
LARGE DIE OF THE MONTH
This month’s Large Die of the Month Kit, “Spring Reflection“, is a massive set of 21 dies that can be mixed and matched to create a gorgeous floral card front with two different border styles and three interchangeable sentiments. I created a soft and pretty spring card with a cheery bouquet as the focal image and pretty gold accents.
I cut the intricate border design three times out of white cardstock and added Mirror Gold accents once they had been stacked for a nice substantial frame on my card front. Then I cut pink, teal, purple, gold, and green cardstock with the two different floral designs (use one or the other for even more versatility!) and assembled them with liquid glue. I added the pieces to a piece of Portobello Cardstock and adhered it all to a top-folding A2-sized white card base. For the sentiment, I dabbed a tiny bit of metallic gold ink onto the raised lettering before diecutting white cardstock to bring out the greeting a bit more (a subtle letterpress effect).
SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH
This month’s Small Die of the Month Kit, “Floral Mini Tiles“, is another beautiful set with tons of options. The kit contains a whopping 17 cutting dies that allow you to cut four different layered shapes (hexagon, teardrop, diamond, and arabesque) with floral accents. You can tile each of the shapes up in all kinds of interesting patterns or cover nearly an entire card front like I’ve done here.
I cut the arabesque tile shape out of Timber, Dune, Pink Sand, Dahlia, Mirror Gold, and white cardstock eight times and assembled them with liquid glue. Then I embossed a piece of Alabaster Cardstock using this month’s Embossing Folder of the Month, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock, and adhered it all to a top-folding white card base measuring 3.5″ x 6.5″. After arranging the tiles on the lower portion of the card front, I added a sentiment from the Wonderful Scripts Sentiments Die Set cut from Mirror Gold and Timber Cardstock.
GLIMMER KIT OF THE MONTH
This month’s Glimmer Kit of the Month, “Tulip Border” contains 3 Glimmer plates along with 2 coordinating dies that can be used to foil a beautiful floral scene and two sweet sentiments and cut all of the elements out. I colored the tulips from the kit in bright colors and added a pretty sentiment for this bright and simple friendship card.
I started by applying Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using the Tulip Border Glimmer Plate and then colored the blooms with Copic markers and cut the top edge off with the coordinating die. The background is simply a piece of Waterfall Cardstock with a touch of Salty Ocean Distress Ink blended around the top edges. After adhering the tulips and sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive, I embellished with a few Gold Mix Gems.
CLEAR STAMP & DIE OF THE MONTH KIT
This month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Kit is adorable and might be my favorite one to date! “Pocket Bunny” is a set of 10 stamps that contains three different bunny images, a few floral accents, and four beautiful sentiments. If your subscription includes the coordinating dies, you’ll also get 6 dies to cut two images and all of the sentiments out. I stamped the egg image onto white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers before cutting it out with the coordinating die to create this simple and pretty Easter card.
For the background, I trimmed a piece of Pink Sand Cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″, embossed it with this month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner. After adding the focal image and sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive, I embellished with a spray of Gold Mix Gems.
3D EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH (NEW IN 2023!)
This month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month is stunning! “Spring Burst” is such a gorgeous design with so much detail and can be used in both bold and subtle ways. I created a bold and bright friendship card with it and added just a simple sentiment to allow the design to speak for itself.
I started by inking white cardstock with different bright colors of Distress Ink before debossing the colorful side of my paper with the Spring Burst folder. Then I rubbed a Prize Ribbon Distress Ink pad over the debossed image until it filled in all of the “background” areas. For the sentiment, I foiled the hello in Gold Hot Foil using the Hello Friend Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and cut Gold Glitter Foam using the friend die from the Anemone Blooms Glimmer Plate Set. A few Gold Mix Gems finish off this fun card.
STITCHING DIE OF THE MONTH (NEW in 2023!)
The Stitching Die of the Month sold out so fast last month thanks to the many new fans of stitching on cards! This month’s kit, “Pocket Full of Spring“, is a huge set of 22 dies that creates a beautiful pocket as well as stitched flowers and leaves. Spellbinders is also releasing an add-on stamp set this month, “Pocket Full of Spring Sentiments Die Set“, with a few more die cut sentiments that fit perfectly in on the back of the pocket in the kit.
I cut the pocket and sentiment from white cardstock and double-stitched the design with gold thread using an easy backstitch. Then I cut the flowers and leaves out various shades of pink, orange, teal, and green cardstock and stitched the them with coordinating colors for a tone-on-tone look. After trimming a piece of blue cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″, I embossed it with this month’s Embossing Folder of the Month and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base. Then I arranged the fun scene on top of the card front and added Crystal Mix Gems for a little sparkle.
EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH
Lastly, let me finally introduce you to this month’s Embossing Folder of the Month, “Hydrangea Blooms“. It is the perfect subtle background for all of the pretty spring cards I’ve shown today (and I have used it for several already!). I embossed a panel of white cardstock and inked lightly around the edges with some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink using the Hydrangea Blooms folder for this sweet card for a friend.
I stamped another adorable bunny from this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Kit and colored it with Copic markers before cutting it out with the coordinating die. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was embossed in gold and cut out as well. To create that beautiful frame, I cut Mirror Gold Cardstock using one of the dies from the Spring Reflection Die Set. I love how simple and pretty this card turned out!
