Spellbinders December Club Kits: What Matters Most

This post will be my last as an influencer for Spellbinders.  It's time for me to slow down here; I've been going full-tilt for 20 some years, and I want to be able to do this only for enjoyment now.  You'll still see me posting, but far less than in the past.  I"m so grateful to Spellbinders for allowing me to play with their amazing products, and I've enjoyed every minute!

The December Spellbinders Club Kits are now available, through Dec. 27!  The theme this month is What Matters Most.  Traditionally, the December kits are made with Valentine's Day in mind, and this year the hearts are more subtle than some kits in the past, but they're there.

My first card pairs the Stencil Kit, Where Love Lands, with the embossing folder, Sweet Stems, and a sentiment from the BetterPress kit, I'd Pick You.

supplies: white and pink cardstock, Where Love Lands stencil set, pinks, blues, greens, yellow, and tan inks, Sweet Stems embossing folder, I'd Pick You BetterPress sentiment, adhesive foam squares

After finishing my stenciling, I decided to fussy-cut out the image, and popped it above the hearts and flowers embossed panel.  The sentiment is perfect for the image!

Next I mixed the Stitching kit, A Perfect Blend, with the 3D folder, Unlock My Heart.

supplies: white, red, aqua, and pale grey cardstock, A Perfect Blend Stitching dies, white embroidery floss, Unlock My Heart 3D embossing folder

Once again this month, there is minimal stitching; only a bit on the half-hearts.  There's also another sentiment in the set.  

Next, here are the Dies of the Month, Better Together and the Glimmer Kit, Soft Hearted.  I also used a sentiment from the Stitching Kit and an Essential Heart die.

supplies: cream, kraft, brown, green, yellow, several pinks, and black cardstock, Better Together dies, Essential Hearts die, Soft Hearted glimmer plate, included Bright Pink glimmer foil, sentiment from A Perfect Blend stitching kit

I really like the Bright Pink glimmer foil!  I foiled it on a medium pink cardstock to use as my background.  After I constructed the pair of owls, I saw that it was pretty busy for them, so I used a heart to separate them.  The sentiment is a die that is included in the Stitching Kit.

This Better Together kit also includes a cute little otter and some sentiments to use with him.

As I said, I liked the foil color this month, so I used it again on the BetterPress plates, called I'd Pick You.  It's a sweet clean and simple design - simply foil the press heart plate and one of the sentiments from the Glimmer kit, then add a bow die-cut from pink metallic cardstock.

 

supplies: white and pink cardstock, pink metallic kraft cardstock, I'd Pick You BetterPress plates, sentiment and matching die from Soft Hearted Glimmer kit,  Bright Pink glimmer foil, Garden Wreath bow

Here is my card using the Large Dies, Wrapped in Care and a sentiment from the Stamp/Die set, Simply Said.

supplies: white and colored cardstock, Wrapped in Care dies, sentiment/die from Simply Said, Sweet Stems embossing folder

And finally, my last card features the Caboodle dies, Unwind.

supplies: white and shades of softr peach cardstock, Unwind caboodle bonus dies, sentiment/die from Simply Said, Tiny Heart Scallop 3D embossing folder

I went with soft peaches this time.  And since the caboodle bonus dies are titled Unwind, I used that sentiment from the clear stamp/die set for this month.  It is a sentiment set, containing 14 different sentiments, with dies for each one.  The embossing folder that I used for my background is from a year ago.
