Spellbinders February 2021 Small Die of the Month | Trefoil Tile & Panel Card Creator


Hello, crafty friends!
It's the start of a new month which means it's time for a new Club Kit from Spellbinders! Today I'm sharing two cards which I created using the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month SetTrefoil Tile & Panel Card Creator. The die set coordinates with the Clear Stamp of the Month and is perfect for creating a variety of papercrafting projects! You can find more details about the Club on the Spellbinders website. Click HERE to read all about it.

The Small Die of the Month Kit, "Trefoil Tile & Panel Card Creator", contains 10 dies that cut an ornate background panel and six different tile inserts (3 sentiment and 3 decorative tiles). 

I have two cards to share using the Small Die of the Month, so without much ado, let's dive in!

My first card features dies from the Small Die of the Month Kit and Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Set. I combined them both to come up with my card design. 

I die cut the main panel for my card using the diamond die included in the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Set. using my Spellbinders Platinum Machine from light blue and green cardstock. Once the two diamonds were die cut, I cut them in half and added them to alternate ends of my card base to create my panel. I trimmed them to size and adhered them using White Liner tape.



I then die cut another diamond from White Cardstock and added it over my panel. Next, I used the interior diamond outline die to cut a decorative diamond piece from light green cardstock and white fun foam for a little dimension. I adhered them to my panel using Craft Glue. The layered tiles were die cut from kraft and light blue cardstock and layered one on top of the other. I popped the pieces on my panel using foam squares for dimension and interest. 

I absolutely love the fine details of this die set and really didn't think I need to embellish it much, so I kept it quite clean and simple. I added a circle cut from Gold Glitter Cardstock followed by a slightly smaller stitched circle cut from pastel green cardstock to the centre of the panel to fill up the negative space. I also die cut the sentiment from the Small Die of the Month Set from light blue cardstock and white fun foam and adhered it down to my panel using Craft Glue. To finish, I adhered my card front to a piece of light grey cardstock to mat a top-folding A2-sized white card base.



Moving on to my second card for today which again features the Small Die of the Month Kit.

I die cut the trefoil tile from Kraft Cardstock and added a piece of Gold Mirror Cardstock to back up the piece. I adhered this to a a panel of Navy Blue Cardstock for contrast and then adhered it down to a top-folding A2-sized kraft card base.

Next, to create the focal for my card, I die cut the three layered tiles from Navy Blue and Light Pink Cardstock, which were then adhered into the openings of the panel with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Clear Stamp of the Month in Black Licorice Ink on a strip of White Cardstock. Then, I added a strip of Gold Mirror Cardstock to mat the white piece. I finished off the card with two paper strips on either side of the card cut from Light Pink and Gold Mirror Cardstock.

Spellbinders December 2020 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop + Giveaway!

 

Hello, crafty friends!
I'm thrilled to be joining Spellbinders for the December 2020 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop today. Spellbinders is celebrating all their Club Kits in shop for December 2020.

If you arrived here from Joy Baldwin's 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 made a Card for the hop today using the Amazing Paper Grace – December Die of the Month. In case you missed, it I shared a Card on my blog few days ago using this month's "Rose Garden Promise" Set, which you can check out HERE.

The Rose Garden Promise Set consists of four dies. I simply LOVE the design and its versatility. It's so elegant! 

To create my card, I first die cut the outer rim die from the Rose Garden Promise Set from Cream Cardstock using my Platinum 6" Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. I wanted to recreate the look of a stained glass piece on my card front, so I die cut the layer with the roses from two different sheets of Colored Cardstock. I did the same for the leaves too and die cut them from two different shades of Green Cardstock. The centres of the roses were die cut from a darker shade of Cardstock for visual interest.

Next, I die cut the rose die layer from White Fun Foam so that I could adhere it to the card base for dimension. Once that was done, it was time to move on to the fun part - popping all the die cut pieces back on to the panel. I love how the solid cardstock bits look against the cream cardstock! Then, I stamped my sentiment in the centre of the panel using Black Licorice ink. I added some yellow and purple flat back Jewels to finish my card. 

This card was REALLY simple to put together and I am quite happy with how it turned out too. If you're looking for some quick and easy card designs for Valentine's Day, Anniversary cards, or for any custom orders, this is just the perfect die for it! The die does all the work for you. ❤️

Spellbinders recently introduced a new collection of card making basics on their website called 'The Card Shoppe'. I used the cards and envelopes for my last couple of projects and really liked them. All the products are high quality and you can find more details about this range HERE.
