I so love all the die and stamp kits for this month from Spellbinders. They are all coordinating and can be used in many different ways. I have already showed you cards from the Glimmer kit of the month, and now I am showing off the Large and Small dies of the month together in one card.
I love how all the pretty Christmas colors really pop off the white background. To start I used a A2 base card. I then took a piece of 4 X 5.25 white cardstock (which was cut using my paper trimmer) and die cut along the bottom edge using the Large Die of the Month - Christmas Strip and Borders and my Platinum 6 die cutting machine. . This was then centered across the top and sides of the base card and adhered using Bearly Art liquid glue. Then using dark red, red, and dark green, I cut out all the elements for the floral border. They were also adhered on top of the original cutout. I used my copic markers, E59 and colored the stems for the berries and YG67 for the tops of the berries. The centers of all the flowers were cut from yellow cardstock.
After the florals were all done, I added a piece of medium green cardstock cut with another one of the dies from the same set and adhered it above the floral area. Next, I cut out the ornaments from the Small Die of the Month for November 2021 - Stitched Curved Border and Ornaments. The base of each ornament was cut from Brushed Gold. The details of each ornament were cut from dark green and dark red then adhered to the bases. The hangers were cut from Brushed silver and the strings were cut from black cardstock. The ornaments were arranged above the green trim as seen in the photo. The hangers were then adhered to the ornaments. The strings were glued in place and trimmed with my detail pro shears.
I decided to add a little glimmer to the sentiment, so I chose the use the Holiday Sentiments 2 Glimmer plate , gold foil, and my Glimmer hot foil system. Once Glimmered it was cut out using the included die. It was popped up using foam squares. Here is another photo of the finished card.
I love how this turned out and how Spellbinders made most of the clubs coordinated. This makes for more ways to use the die.
