Spellbinders | July 2024 Monthly Club Kits

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I'm showcasing the July 2024 Monthly Club Kits from Spellbinders. The first card features the "Stitched All Wrapped Up" Stitching Die of the Month and the second card features the "Joyful Holly" Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month. Club Kits close on the 27th of each month so get them while you can!

I was inspired by a colour palette on page 142 of Lauren Wager's Palette Perfect, Vol. 2 and used the same colours on both cards. Essentially, the Stitched All Wrapped Up is for holiday cards but I love that bows are so versatile, this product can be used year-round!

Both the products and the colours inspired this retro design. The cardstock I used include Concord & 9th Dragonfruit, Lemongrass, Nutmeg and Silver Glitter Paper as an accent, plus Simon Says Stamp Fog Gray for the card base.

I cut the bow from Dragonfruit cardstock, stitched it with Dark Cranberry 301 from the DMC Color Essentials Warm Bundle and set the pieces aside to work on the background.

After cutting the Fog Gray card base and glueing the Lemongrass hoops, I randomly glued circles die cut from Nutmeg and Silver Glitter Paper. The patterns on the bottom are mirrored on the top half of the card.

After assembling the bow on the card base with a combination of double-sided tape and foam squares, I heat foiled a sentiment from Mini Everyday Sentiments, using Espresso Bean Hot Foil on Fog Gray cardstock and popped it on to the card with foam strips.

My second card features the the "Joyful Holly" Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month. I don't usually get too much of a head start on my holiday cards but I love that I've added this one to my stash! Plus, I almost never use brown so this is probably the most prominent brown will ever be featured on one of my cards.

I started by heat foiling the Joyful Holly with Espresso Bean Hot Foil on Fog Gray cardstock. Then I used Concord & 9th Dragonfruit, Lemongrass and Avocado inks to colour the image using the coordinating Joyful Holly Stencil, which is one of the BONUS items in The Deluxe Caboodle Value Club this month!

I repeated this process and die cut them using the die included in this month's kit. Then I set them aside while I cut a 4 x 5.25" Fog Gray panel. Next, I cut a panel of Gingham Bubblegum from the Doodlebug Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints 12x12"Cardstock Paper Pack. 

I wanted the pink darker to match the bow on the other card so I ink blended some Dragonfruit ink on the edges before glueing the panel down. To finish the card, I heat embossed the sentiment using Speckled Prism Hot Foil on Nutmeg cardstock. I layered a shadow cut from Silver Glitter Paper and popped on the sentiment with foam squares.

I've never worked with this colour palette before and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the brown fit into it. I actually tried to use as little of it as possible but, as noticeable as it is, I really love how these cards turned out.
