Spellbinders | August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month

Today's Spellbinders card features the August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month, which I combined with the Small Die of the Month and Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month! I love how easy it is to mix and match all of the kits from each month. As with all card kit subscriptions, you can cancel anytime and there is no long-term obligation! You have until August 24th to subscribe to get these particular kits.

I was so excited to see that the August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month is a layering stamp set! It was so easy to stamp these beautiful flowers in different ink colours so, naturally, I chose Catherine Pooler inks. For the large purple flowers, I used Sweet Sixteen and Pucker Up. For the stems and foliage, I used Sea Glass. For the centres of the purple flowers, I used Catching Rays. I created an ombre effect with the small yellow flowers using Tiara, Shea Butter and Sauna.

To create the sentiment panel, I used Bright Pink Glimmer Hot Foil with the foiling hexagon from the Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month. I stamped the sentiment, creating an ombre look using Sweet Sixteen, Pucker Up and Flirty Fuchsia. Then I die cut it using the coordinating die.

To create the frame for the sentiment, I used one of the hexagons from the Small Die of the Month. For the base underneath the stamped sentiment, I pressed the Sea Glass ink pad directly on to white cardstock, then ran it through the die cutting machine. Then I popped up the sentiment with foam tape. I used liquid glue to stack four layers of the outline hexagon and topped it with a gold mirror layer.

When the sentiment parts are assembled, I love how it looks with the narrow void between hexagon shapes, showing off the Sea Glass layer. I further embellished it with pearl white jewels.

Before assembling the card, I created a textured frame for the card base, using the ultra large 6" x 9" Sun Burst Stencil. It's subtle but adds so much to the overall look of the card. I really love the size of this stencil because it was made to accommodate all card sizes from basic A2 sizes to business slimline sizes!
