Spellbinders August 2020 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop + Giveaway!


Hello, crafty friends!
I'm ecstatic to be joining Spellbinders for the August 2020 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop today. Spellbinders is celebrating all their Club Kits in shop for August 2020. 
If you arrived here from the talented, Jean Manis' 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 Pop Up 3D Vignette Telephone Card for the hop today using the Amazing Paper Grace – August Die of the Month. In case you missed, it I shared a Card on my blog few days ago using this month's "Pop Up 3D Vignette Telephone" Set, which you can check out HERE.
Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Membership
The dies for Spellbinders Monthly Clubs are exclusive to Spellbinders and you won't find them anywhere else. If you want to find out more about the Club – prices, how you sign up and what’s included, please look ——–> HERE. These dies are only available through the Club and are limited to the month of August, so hurry before they are sold out.

There are SIX dies included in the Telephone Set to help you create a wide variety of projects like: a Pop Up 3D Card, a Shaker Card, a Shaped Card, a Mini Scrapbook Album (upto 4 pages), a Gift Card Holder and more.
I have used this die set to create a 3D Vignette Card. 

To start off, I die cut all the different shapes and panels needed to make my 3D card using Buttercream Cardstock. I also cut some of the coordinating elements from Gold Mirror Cardstock. Once I had everything die-cut, I assembled my Card following THIS video by Becca Feeken. It's really simple and easy to follow!

I die cut all my receiver panels from Buttercream Cardstock, while the handset caps, I die cut them from Gold Mirror Cardstock

To embellish my first receiver panel, I die cut the sentiment 'Tis the Season' from Gold Mirror Cardstock using the sentiment die from the Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies. I added a mini floral embellishment at the top to add more interest. The flowers are created using the poinsettia die from the Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies, while the leaves are from a previous Card Kit die.

I embellished my second receiver panel using the 'Joy' die-cut sentiment from the Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies, which was cut from Gold Mirror Cardstock. I also adhered a mini snowflake embellishment at the top to accentuate it. The flower is die cut from the poinsettia die from the same die set, while the snowflake is from the Snowflake Splendor Etched Dies. I inked the flower using dye ink and added a pink jewel to the centre to give it a more finished look.

For my third panel, I kept things more simple. I added a hot foiled border strip from the Christmas Sweater Borders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. Next, I die cut the sentiment from the Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies from Cranberry Bliss Cardstock and Gold Mirror Cardstock and then adhered one over the other for dimension. 

My last and final receiver panel has some quick and simple embellishments. I die cut the snowflake from the Snowflake Splendor Etched Dies using Gold Mirror Cardstock, while the flowers are die cut from the poinsettia die from the Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies. I added some die cut leaves to complete the look.

For the dial, I again used Buttercream Cardstock and Gold Mirror Cardstock to die cut the pieces. Once I was done adhering down all the numbers in the rotary dial, I added a stamped sentiment piece to the centre, for which I used Rich Coral Ink. I also added a few die cut flowers and leaves around the dial to accentuate it. 

The flowers are die cut using the same poinsettia die that I used on my receiver panels, which is from the Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies. I inked all of them and embossed the petals using an Embossing Ball Tool. Then, I added flat back jewels in the centres for more interest. Lastly, I added a die-cut bow from the Holly Frame Gala Etched Dies to complete my card.
