NOVEMBER 2024 SMALL DIE AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH

This month's Small Die is called "Birthday Bliss" and features an adorable turtle, sloth, birthday balloons and more. It's super cute!!

The Stencil set is called "Squared Away" and has 5 layering stencils, each layer builds on each other with squares and rectangles. It has a fun retro vibe.

For my background I used 3 of the stencils. I like leaving a bit of white space. I used Distress Oxide inks (colors listed below) in aquas and purple and thought these happy colors were perfect for a birthday card. Miss turtle looks like she's ready to party with her purple gems, party hat and colorful balloons. I added a few star accents which were from the cloud details die that came in the set, cut from silver mirror cardstock, which gave the perfect amount of glitz!

Stay tuned next week for another card using the Wax Seal of the Month!

I love the soft colors in this paper pad and let them guide me for the entire card. That penguin is the absolute cutest! It's hard to see in the picture, I used white glitter foam for his santa hat I love the extra something glitter foam and cardstock brings to cards.

JULY 2024 SMALL DIE, STENCIL AND WAX SEAL OF THE MONTH

 

This month's Small Die is called "Skating into the Holidays" and features an ice skate along with gorgeous poinsettia flower and lots of greenery and berries to adorn it.

The Stencil set is called "Sprigs and Bow" and has 3 layering stencils and a mask for the bow portion. I only used the 2 sprigs stencils for my background. The berries accent berries in the sprigs are stenciled on with Ruby Glitter Pops of Color, and it's the perfect amount of sparkle!

The Wax Seal is called "Joyful Snowflake" and is a perfect simple single snowflake that is sized the entire wax seal stamp. It's so lovely!

I wanted to add a poinsettia cluster and have my wax seal peeking out from the petals, but I didn't want to cover up the pretty stenciled background. So I made an open frame using oen of my go-to basic shape dies sets, the Nested Postage Labels & Tag die set. I think it gives the perfect frame for the cluster and sentiment and allows the background to be seen.

I love how this turned out.

JULY SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH: SKATING INTO THE HOLIDAYS

 

This month's Small Die is called "Skating into the Holidays" and features an ice skate along with gorgeous poinsettia flower and lots of greenery and berries to adorn it.

I absolutely LOVE everything about this die set, I mean just look at those shoe laces! 😍

I made my ice skates white with black laces to allow the greenery and red poinsettias to POP off the card. I chose a simple embossed background using the Peppermint Stripes EF.

Poinsettia flower tip:

Using 2 colors of red cardstock is an easy way to give the flower depth without ink blending.

Spellbinders May 2024 Club Kits: Wax Seal, Stencil and Small Die of the Month

Hi everyone! I have 1 last card to share using the Spellbinders May 2024 club kits! I combined 3 kits on my card, the Wax Seal, Stencil and a few elements from the Small Die of the Month.

If you missed my earlier post with 2 other card designs, check it out HERE.

MAY 2024 SMALL DIE, WAX SEAL AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH
 

I love making super clean and simple cards and this one was fun to make. I originally had some larger leaves die cut and even another cute parrot, but in the end I edited it down to 2 sprigs and 3 flowers 😍

This month's Wax Seal of the month is called Tropical Hi and is an oval shape with a flower, leaf, sprig and the sentiment. It has deep grooves which allows you to add metallic ink easily. The wax beads included (in my kit) was the Matcha color which is a fav of mine! I love the design on this seal, it's so happy!

For the background on the circle I used the Stencil of the Month with the color Matcha. I meant to use 2 different greens, like my last card, but I accidentally used the same ink for both stencils and just went with it! The color looks great with the Matcha wax beads.

I added pink rhinestone gems to the flowers centers, even the flower in the wax seal, for a pop of accent color! It was impossible to get the little gems to show pink in the photos, but it looks great IRL.

MAY 2024 SMALL DIE AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH

May's Small Die of the Month is called Tropical Friends and features a parrot, a toucan and tropical foliage for them. This die set is SUPER cute and I can see this being a fast sell out!

I googled Toucans and Parrots and was AMAZED at all the bright colors these birds can have. They almost seem fake they are so vibrant and colorful! I chose bright fun colors and wanted to keep the background clean and white so they could POP off the page. I used the Leafy Helix EF for some texture.

MAY 2024 SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH
 

For my second card I combined the Small Die with Stencil of the Month, which is called Tropical Spray and has 2 layering stencils with abstract water or wave droplets.

I wanted a fun shaker element for this (I'm still trying to make at least 1 shaker card a month), so I used the ovals from  the Fran's Frames die set and filled it up with some pretty pink and green shaker elements. I used green inks with the stencil for a nice monochromatic backdrop for the pretty pink parrot. I really love how both of these turned out.

APRIL 2024 SMALL DIE, WAX SEAL AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH

April's Small Die of the Month is called Faux Stitched Sentiments and Floss and features the components of stitching Floss and 4 sentiments! I combined it with April's Stencil of the Month, called Rainbow Floss Background which is has 4 stencils and fills an A2 card background with 6 floss images.

I stenciled the background with Light and Dark Spruce inks and trimmed it down to 4 floss pieces. I added a small strip of black glitter cardstock from the Jewel Tone Glitter Cardstock pack and adhered it down the left side. And of course my card has a few flower accents, these are from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs die set along with some gold pearls.

This month's Wax Seal of the Month is called Cross Stitch Heart and I really love it. I think it can be used for many occasions as well as on envelopes. The impression is nice and deep, and I thought the heart stitches were perfect for a Sending Love sentiment. The wax beads this month are Cloudy Sky which is a gorgeous french blue which set the color scheme for all my cards!

I used a few die sets from the Sealed by Spellbinders collection on this card. One of my favorites called Sealed Squiggles along with Sealed Wildflowers and Sealed Leaf Sprigs. For some extra shine I added some Clear Shimmer Glimmer Brush Marker to the die cut flowers.
I thought the color palette in the Butterfly Garden 6x6 paper pack and picked one with some flowers and leaves down both sides. I fussy cut a butterfly from one of the papers as an accent along with silver pearls. I just love how it turned out!

Spellbinders | March 2024 Wax Seal, Stencil and Small Die of the month

 Hi everyone! I'm back today with a card using some of the March club kits by Spellbinders. I used the Small Die of the Month, Stencil of the Month and Wax Seal of the Month.

MARCH WAX SEAL, SMALL DIE AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH

This card uses the adorable owl from the Small Die of the Month called "Wise Owl" which I placed on a die cut and embossed panel over a stenciled background using the Stencil of the Month called "Dynamic Backgrounds".

Isn't this owl the cutest? I mean just look at the adorable purple glasses! I stenciled the background using 1 of the 2-step patterns from this month's stencil set which comes with two 2-layered stencils (one coordinates with the March Embossing Folder) and 1 stencil that stands alone.

I used my beloved Be Bold Blooms die set for some accent flowers and I placed them around the gorgeous Wax Seal of the month which is called "Congrats on your new chapter". I hand picked the rich raspberry colored wax beads from the Pink Mix bead pack and added some gold metallic ink to the letters.

MARCH SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH

I used the Classic Labels 17 die set for the frame shape and the Postage Edge Rectangles die set embossed into the card base.

I embossed the 3rd largest die from the Postage Edge Rectangles die set into my card base and rounded the bottom corners. I think it adds so much to the card!! And of course my card has a few flower accents, these are from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs die set.

Spellbinders | February Wax Seal and Small Die of the month

 Hi everyone! I'm back home and have 2 cards to share using the Small Die of the Month, Stencil of the Month and Wax Seal of the Month February club kits by Spellbinders.

FEBRUARY SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH

February's Small Die of the Month is called Rain Boot Bouquet and features a rain boot with a variety of spring flowers! Super cute with so many possibilities. I mean rain boots come in every color and pattern.

I chose to make a neutral gray boot with brown soles and placed inside bright white daffodils, hot pink tulips and tiny flowers with pops of blue! I kept things simple by using a piece of springy gingham patterned paper as the background. I added Star Dust Stickles to the flower centers for that extra pop of sparkle.

FEBRUARY WAX SEAL AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH

 

This card uses my beloved Be Bold Blooms die set flowers and I placed them over a lightly stenciled background and it features the Wax Seal of the month which is called Lily of the Valley.

For the stenciled background, I used one of 4 floral background stencils from the Stencil of the Month which is called Spring Stencil Backgrounds. You can see my other card using a different stencil on this blog post.

I used Rustic Wilderness distress oxide ink with the stencil as it matched the Fern wax beads which were included in the Wax Seal kit. I die cut the flowers and greenery from rich colors that I thought complimented the Fern wax seal. I added hints of gold to the flowers and gold pen to the details on the wax seal.
