The Spellbinders Club Kits are available now for new subscribers, and the theme is Christmas in July!!
The Stencil of the Month is Sprigs and Bow, a group of 5 stencils with a mask for the bow. Here's my card.
supplies: white cardstock, Sprigs and Bow stencils, Altenew Fuschia and Magenta, Teal Cave and Galactic Stream inks, blending brushes, sentiment from Christmas Magic Sentiments
I added a tag with one of the sentiments from this month's Clear Stamp of the Month: Christmas Magic Sentiments - I like the font on this! After I'd done all my stencilling, I secured the stencil with the bow details back to my panel, and ran it through my Platinum 6 machine to emboss it to give it some dimension.
Next up is the adorable Large Dies of the Month: Snowcapped Holidays. I paired these dies with the 3D folder, Pine Cones and Berries, and another of the sentiments from the Stamps and Dies of the Month, Christmas Magic Sentiments. This card is 5 X 7. The birdhouse would fit onto an A2 card, but it would be a tight squeeze to get the branch on that size too, at the same time.
supplies: white, pale aqua, greens, kraft, brown, reds, yellow, grey, and black cardstock, Snowcapped Holidays dies, Pine Cones & Berries 3D embossing folder, sentiments from Christmas Magic Sentiments, gold embossing powder
I like that the birdhouse die also cuts a woodgrain texture!
Since I covered up most of the embossing folder, I made another card with it, and used another sentiment from the stamp and die set.
supplies: white and red cardstock, Pine Cones & Berries 3D embossing folder, markers to color, sentiment from Christmas Magic Sentiments and matching die
Here is the Die of the Month kit: Skating into the Holidays. When I saw these ice skates, I decided to recreate the skates I had; they were pale blue trimmed in white fur! I backed them with the Embossing folder of the month: Hexi Snowflakes. I'm back to A2 size again for this one.
supplies: white, blues, pinks, greens, cream, and silver foil cardstock, Skating into the Holidays dies, Hexi Snowflake embossing folder
It amazes me how the designer of these dies get so much detail into them! The laces and bow on the skates add so much to them! I decided to not use a sentiment on the front of this card.
My next cards are very simply compared to all the bits and pieces of the ones above! July's Glimmer Kit is called Joyful Holly, and one of the Caboodle items is a stencil to color in the holly.
supplies: cream and gold foil cardstock, Joyful Holly glimmer plates, gold glimmer foil, Joyful Holiday stencil, Sweet Leaf and Coral Berry mini ink cubes, blending brushes, Hemstitched Rectangle die
And finally, the Stitching Dies of the Month, Stitched All Wrapped Up. I love "brown paper packages", so I used kraft as my background.
supplies: kraft, Schoolhouse Red and Lipstick Red cardstock, All Wrapped Up Stitching dies, Diamant Gold metallic thread, Joyful Christmas Sentiments glimmer plate and matching die, red glimmer foil
This design doesn't need much of a sentiment, so I used a reversed foiled one that I had in my stash from last year.
