May Spellbinders Club Kits - Dies, Stencils, Stitching, 3D Embossing Folder

 The Spellbinders Club Kits are available for new subscribers, now to May 27.  The overall theme this month is Pages and Phrases!

My first card features the Dies of the Month, Classroom Chronicles, and Stencils, Write On.

supplies: white and colored cardstock, vellum, Spellbinders Write On stencils, distress inks, Classroom Chronicles dies, adhesive foam squares and strips

The dies are a 19-piece set this month that feature this apple, and a variety of books with school-related words on their spines.  And once again the stencils have 2 designs; this one uses 4 of the stencils.  I love these chubby pencils so much that I didn't want to cover them up, so I chose to  put my focal image on a vellum panel, which I then popped above the surface.

Next up are the Stitching dies, Stitched Study Nook, paired with the remaining stencil from the stencil kit.

supplies: colored cardstock, a plank patterned paper, Write On stencil, Stitched Study Nook stitching dies, purple and beige embroidery floss, 3 strands

There is minimal stitching this month.  I had earlier stenciled the "wallpaper", so I built the rest of the scene around it.  Didn't add a sentiment this time, but there's plenty of room in the upper left for one when it is used.

My next card shows you the 3D embossing folder, Stacked Stories.  

supplies: kraft cardstock, vellum, Stacked Stories 3D embossing folder, flower and leaves from Mini Blooms & Sprigs, a retired Impression Obsession sentiment

This month's folder has 11 different book spines all stacked up on top of each other.  I embossed just half of the folder, and turned my panel so that the books appear to be on a shelf, then carefully colored in the raised parts of the design.  This old sentiment from my stash seemed perfect, so I added some garden elements to reinforce it.
