Hello crafty friends! I have a card using the Spellbinders Clear Stamp of the Month and the Small Die of the Month for December! These are AWESOME club kits for this month!
Here is a list of items I used to create this card…
- Spellbinders – Clear Stamp of the Month
- Spellbinders – Small Die of the Month
- Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock
- Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink – Sweets
- Simon Says Stamp – Blending Brushes
- Pink Pearls
- Brown CardStock
- Plum Carstock
- Tim Holtz Sidekick Die Cutting Machine
- Gina K. Connect Glue
- Neenah Solar White 80 lb Card stock
- Neenah Solar White 110 lb Card Stock – Card base
- Darice Foam Strips
I started with creating an ink blend using a A2 panel of Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock and their new Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink – Sweets and the appropriate colored Blending Brush. I used a light hand when blending and tapped off to ensure I didn’t get brush marks. I wanted to keep it concentrated to this sideways oval shape, to help highlight the die cut hello.
Once I was happy, I embossed the Hello stamp from the Spellbinders – Clear Stamp of the Month using white embossing powder on some brown paper. I then used the coordinating dies to cut the letters out. I took my time adding foam tape to the backs because I wanted to ensure they popped up. I love using the skinny strips from Darice. Once I had those popped up, I took my time (and used a ruler!) to align the hello on the card within the ink blend. I then cut out the Florals from the Small Die of the Month using coordinating cardstock. I finished it off with some pink pearls!
