Today I am featuring a fun and easy card using both the embossing folder of the month and the die of the month. I had some pretty printed paper in my stash so I decided to use it as a background on the card.
I started with an A2 card base and added a mat of printed paper. Because the paper was two-toned, I decided to emboss just the blue portion to make it look more like water. I placed the embossing folder half way down the page and ran it thru my die machine. After that I created this cute hippo using light grey paper and inkink it up with a little darker grey ink. I then put him in the turtle floaty which is also part of this month's die of the month club.
Once assembled I placed him right on top of the water. Since his legs swing back and forth he appears to be swimming and floating on top of the water. I used the included sentiment which also came with the die of the month club and cut it from black cardstock. It was then glued to the front of the card as shown.
There you have it a simple, easy, and quick card to make. I hope you will give it a try and check out all the clubs that Spellbinders has to offer each month by clicking here. They will be available for sale on the 6th of each month!
