Spellbinders Small Die of the Month for February 2022 - Sending My Love

  Today is the the first  day of February  and  I am featuring the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month.  It is a very pretty die set and perfect for any type of card you need.  To check out all the Spellbinders clubs, click here.  


To start this card, I began with a white A2 card base.  I then cut  a piece of  dark blue cardstock to the same size as the front of the card using my paper trimmer.  It was adhered to the front of the card using Easy Glide permanent tape runner.  Next, I took a piece of white cardstock and glimmered it using gold foil, the Essential Duo Line Glimmer Rectangle plate and my Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This was then cut to measure 4 x 5.25 and also adhered to the front of the card.  

Next I cut a large oval from the Die of the Month for Feb 22 out of brushed gold cardstock with my Platinum 6 die cutting machine and then decided to embroider around the edge.  I used some of the variegated blue threads from the Spellbinders Card Shoppe Essentials, DMC- Variegated Floss Bundle and size 22 needle and embroidered the outside edge of the piece.  It was then centered and attached to the white cardstock using Bearly Art Liquid glue...  




Next, I cut a smaller oval from the same die of the month from white cardstock and embroidered it the same way using a lighter blue variegated thread.  The I cut another of the same oval from white cardstock and using gold foil, Yana's Sentiments Glimmer Plate and the Glimmer Hot Foil System and glimmered the sentiment onto the center piece.  It was then placed on the card using foam squares to pop it up. 




Using shades of blue cardstock and the Petite Floral Potpourri Die Set I created several small blue flowers to place around the outside edge of the ovals.  The center of each flower was created using Fashion Gold embellishments.  And, as the final touch, I added a blue bow from my stash to the front of the card using a glue dot.    


I really love how this one turned out and it could be made from any color combinations.  I also love the little touches of gold foiling which add that extra punch to any card.  And remember to check out Spellbinders Club kits!  You won't be disappointed!
