Spellbinders APG of the Month for December 2022

 It is with great pleasure that I get the honor of sharing this beautiful die set with you!  It is the Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for December of 2022 called the Sweetheart Envelope and Note Set which  is just gorgeous.  It is also very versatile as I have shown you below.  Now that Christmas is almost here, it is time to start thinking Valentine's Day! I have created two beautiful pieces one a 5x7 card and the other a gift card holder that anyone would be proud to give or receive on Valentine's Day or any other occasion for that matter!  You can check out all of Spellbinders Clubs here.  


For my first project, I selected a 5 x 7 white card base.  To that I added a mat of dark pink cardstock and them some pink and gold plaid printed paper as my background.  The APG was then die cut and assembled using both pink and then white cardstock.  The flowers were added using the Be Bold Blooms die set.  They were then arranged and glued to the envelope as shown.  I added a simple sentiment from the CSOM-Dec22 (Clear Stamp of the Month for Dec 2022)) But, you could add any sentiment  you wanted.  I then added a simple multi-loop bow to the other side of the envelope.  It was attached onto the background of the card on a slight angle.  The sentiment was mounted on the same color pink as the card mat.  The flowers were cut from various colors of cardstock from my stash. 

Here is another photo of the finished card:


For my second project, I decided to create a gift card holder.  I cut the holder using the dies from this set and some red, white, and green cardstock.   I assembled as shown and added a red flower to the bottom of the heart flap on the front of the card.  I used a white pearl as the center of the flower.  The sentiment "for you" was cut from the Die of the Month from Sept of 2021 called Mix and Match Sentiments, but you can add anything you wanted or even just leave it plain.  I then attached a small velcro snap to the underside of the flower and again on the envelope itself which allows it to stay closed.  It is the perfect size to hold a gift card.  You could make this in any color combination you would like.  I thought this one would be perfect for a special Valentine's Day gift card.  (Maybe for a romantic dinner).  Anyway, here is the finished card holder:



I know Babies R Us is no longer in business, but that is the only card I had to display.  It just shows that a gift card would fit perfectly in the finished piece. 

I hope you liked them and that they will inspire you to create your own special items using this beautiful die set.  To check out all of Spellbinders wonderful clubs, don't forget to click here.  And, stop back tomorrow when I will be showing off another club kit from this month's fabulous collection.
