Spellbinders March 10th Clubs Blog Hop + Giveaways!

Hello, crafty friends!

I'm happy and honoured to be joining Spellbinders for the March 2022 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop today. Spellbinders is celebrating all their Club Kits in shop for March 2022.

If you arrived here from Deborah Jenkins' Blog, then you are on the right track. If this is your first stop, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Spellbinders Blog. We've got tons of inspiration and giveaways for you on the hop today, so keep reading till the end of this post for more information.

I have an A2 Shaped Note Card cum Pocket to share for the hop today using the Spellbinders  – Amazing Paper Grace March 2022 Die of the Month Set. This month’s Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Set, “Bella Ovalette“, is a large set of 12 dies that can be used to cut gorgeous decorative background panels as well as some pretty flowers and leaves to embellish.  It’s a versatile die and is a beautiful match to Bella Diamante. I love the soft curves and the unique shape of the shadow layer that can be used to make a shaped card.

To create my card, I first die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock, Mirror Gold Cardstock, Pink Sand Cardstock, and White Foam using the A2 Decorative Layer Die from the set and layered the pieces atop the card panel using Craft Glue. Next, I die-cut Mirror Gold Cardstock and Pink Sand Cardstock using the Large Motif Die from Bella Ovalette and adhered the pieces down on my decorative panel using liquid adhesive. The, I die-cut , and White Foam using the Smaller Motif Die in the set and popped up the layers up with foam tape to create a raised effect. 

Once the layers were all in place, it was time to embellish the card. I cut some of the flowers and leaves out of Snowdrift Cardstock and coloured the pieces using Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Warm Sunshine, and Sunkissed paints from the Watercolor 36 Pan Set. I also used Copic Markers (RV52, YR68) to flick some colour out from the centers to add some quick colour to the flowers before layering them up and adding Gold Glitter Balls to the centers. I wanted my floral spray to look more full and wholesome, so I die-cut some leaves  and additional foliage from the Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies out of Snowdrift Cardstock and Peridot Cardstock. I watercolored the pieces using Bamboo and Frayed Leaf and embossed them with a ball stylus for a bit of interest.

Next, I cut the tiny Oval Die in the Bella Ovalette Set out of Snowdrift Cardstock, Mirror Gold Cardstock, and White Foam and layered up the pieces atop my panel using Craft Glue. I stamped my sentiment in the centre of the piece using Versafine Onyx Black ink and added some white pearls for visual interest. To finish, I mat the card panel with layers of Barely Peach and Mirror Gold Cardstock before adhering it to a side-folding A7-sized white card base using tape runner.
