Spellbinders January Club Kits: Soaring Dragonfly Dies of the Month and Faceted Petals Embossing Folder of the Month

 The January Club Kits are now available for new subscribers!  I'll be sharing my makes in the next few days, spacing my posts out a little more than I've done in the past.  

Today I'm showing you the Dies of the Month: Soaring Dragonfly, paired with the Embossing Folder: Faceted Petals, with sentiments from the Clear Stamps and Dies: Nature's Dance.

supplies: white and black cardstock, royal and turquoise glitter cardstock, Soaring Dragonfly dies (includes "hello"), Faceted Petals embossing folder, swiped with tumbled glass distress ink, a Nature's Dance sentiment and matching die, adhesive foam squares

Isn't this dragonfly lovely?  I used the more detailed option for wings, but there's also a striped option, too.  The die set also includes this hello, plus some small flowers and leaf sprigs.  I think of dragonflies as irridescent, so I used 2 colors of glitter cardstock to paper-piece the details in it's wings, and when I attached it to my card base, I popped up the ends of each wing for some slight dimension.

Here's a much more CAS design for my 2nd card, just using some of the leftover die-cuts from above.

supplies: white and aqua cardstock, aqua and white glitter cardstock, aqua vellum, Soaring Dragonfly dies, Nature's Dance sentiment, Hemstitch Rectangle die, adhesive foam strips

This time I used the aqua glitter wing outline dies that I had cut for the piecing above, placing them onto vellum.  I popped the body up this time and bent the wings upward.  I wish I could capture the sparkle of the glitter cardstock  for you....
