The Spellbinders Club Kits for June are now available for new subscribers, until June 27th. This month we have a fun summer theme called Seas the Day, all centered around the ocean!
I started out with the Large Dies of the Month: Sailor's Light, and used a sentiment from the Stamps of the Month: Anchor's Away. I have a soft spot for lighthouses, because we love Maine so much, and this set has all you need to make a lighthouse scene.
The die set is huge - 31 pieces! It also includes 2 sizes of mountains, and a light ray for the lighthouse, which I didn't use on this card. The rocks are a nice touch, especially for someone like me who associates lighthouses in Maine with rocky shores, and the clouds and waves have some nice details, too! If you look very carefully, you can see some of the stencils of the month, which I used to shade the bottom of my aqua card base to divide the ocean and the sky. You'll be seeing lots more of the stamp set for this month, as it has some really clever greetings to go along with the other kits this month.
supplies: colored cardstock, a blue striped dp, Shipmates dies, Anchor's Away sentiment and matching die, Rolling Tide Stencil, tumbled glass distress ink
Isn't he somethin'?! I love the details, especially his fun whiskers and pipe! Also in the set is a seagull (his mate), which is coming up next. The stencil is one of 3 designs this month, and the sentiment is another from the stamp set, which is primarily sentiments, plus an anchor image.
My third card mixes the other image from the Small Dies of the Month: Shipmates, with another of the Stencil designs: Rolling Tide, and the 3D folder: Nautical Knots.
supplies: colored cardstock, Shipmates Seagull and flag dies, Rolling Tide 3-piece layering stencils, tumbled glass distress ink, Nautical Knots 3D embossing folder, Anchor's Away sentiment, Postage Edge Rectangle die
This set of stencils looked like surf hitting the shore, but it could also be underwater bubbles, so it's a versatile one! Because the gull is small, I made my beach scene smaller, enclosing it in a postage edge rectangle. Then that gave me the opportunity to cover the rest of the card front with the knots embossing.
My final card today uses the June Glimmer Kit: Cast Away, and the Opal glimmer foil that comes with it.
supplies: white and colored cardstocks, Cast Away Glimmer plate, large gull and sentiment from Ahoy Matey Stitching dies, small gull and flag from Shipmates Small Dies of the Month, Postage Edge Rectangle
The Opal glimmer foil is very subtle, but still shows off the design nicely.
