Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die of the Month for January 2023 - Hydrangea Bouquet

 Today I am showing off two cards I made using the clear stamp and die of the month for January 2023.  I made two and couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I am showing off both of them!  As you know, I love to color and both cards gave me the opportunity to do so along with glimmering my sentiments, another favorite of mine.  

The first card uses a pretty pink background paper from my stash that was cut to 4 x 5.25 inches so that there was a white border around the outside.  I then cut a square from white cardstock using the Fluted Classic Squares die.  This was then foiled using the Birthday Hugs & Wishes Glimmer plate with gold foil.  The square was then popped up using foam squares.  To finish off this first card, I then stamped two of the small images onto X-press it cardstock and colored them with my copic markers.  They were cut out using the coordinating dies and attached to opposite corners of the square. 

Here is a close up of the finished card:

For the second card I used the embossing folder of the month to emboss some white cardstock which was cut slightly smaller than the A2 card base (same as above).  Next, I stamped the larger image onto X-press it cardstock and colored it using my copic markers.  It was then cut out using the coordinating die.  I adhered it to the embossed piece and then attached both to the front of the card base.  For the final touch I glimmered the sentiment using the More Sentiments Glimmer Plate and gold foil.  It was then cut out and popped up on the front of the card.  I really like how the background white on white turned out with the image being the only pop of color. 

Here is a close up of the second card:

I hope you liked these two examples and that they will encourage you to give it a try for yourself!  You can check out this and all of Spellbinders monthly clubs by clicking here.
