Spellbinders January 13th Clubs Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello, crafty friends!

I'm delighted to be joining Spellbinders for the January 2022 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop today. Spellbinders is celebrating all their Club Kits in shop for January 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  – January 2022 Die of the Month Set. This month’s Large Die of the Month Kit, “A Pocket Full of Love“, is a large set of 11 dies that cuts a beautifully ornate pocket as well as a fun shaped note card to insert.  You can add the pocket to your cards and scrapbook pages or use it on its own for a gorgeous and unique love letter like I’ve done here. It all fits in an A2 envelope, which is perfect for Valentine’s Day, but could totally be used for other occasions throughout the year!

To create my card, I first Alabaster Cardstock using the Pocket Tab Dies from the A Pocket Full of Love Die Set. I die cut the layers twice, and then adhered them together using Craft Glue to create the pocket for my note-card. Next, I die-cut Alabaster Cardstock and White Foam using the Decorative Pocket Die from the set and layered the pieces atop the pocket using Craft Glue. Next, I die-cut Wild Berry, Pink Sand, Rainforest, Fern, Gold Glitter Cardstock, and White Foam using the Flower die included in the set. I layered the pieces together and adhered it down my pocket using Craft Glue for a strong hold. 

Once that was done, I die-cut Beeswax and Glacier Cardstock using the Note Card Insert Die in the A Pocket Full of Love Die Set. Next, I die-cut Alabaster Cardstock, Gold Glitter Cardstock, and White Foam Sheets using the Pull-Out Decorative Heart Die from the set and adhered the layers together with Craft Glue for a strong hold. I adhered the ivory die-cut piece on top of the gold glitter die-cut with liquid glue, offsetting them a bit to form a shadow. I also die-cut Wild Berry Cardstock and  White Foam using the Tiny Flower Die from the Set and layered them together for a raised effect. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the "One Heart, One Love" Clear Stamp of the Month Set on to a strip of Snowdrift Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black and popped it on to my panel using foam squares for dimension.

Once that was done, I embossed Glacier Cardstock using the NEW "Spreading Love" Embossing Folder from Spellbinders. This Club has sold out for the month, but you can check back later in the 'Past Clubs' section on the website to get your hands on it.  Be sure to sign up for the Spellbinders Clubs right away on the 1st of the month not to miss out on any future designs! I trimmed the embossed panel to size to fit on my card base and then adhered down my card elements on it with liquid glue. Then, to finish, I mat my card panel with Mirror Gold Cardstock before adhering it a side-folding A2 Alabaster card base with tape runner. I didn't stamp a sentiment in the pocket letter, but if you wish, you could do that to personalize your card even further.
