Spellbinders New Release Stylish Ovals Collection

Today is the 10th of the month and that means that Spellbinders is releasing all it's new collections for April.  You should check them out!  There are so many adorable collections  to see.  Today I am showing off just one of the many new releases this month.  Mine are from the Stylish Oval Collection and I am sure you are going to want to add these products to your stash!


The first card that I created was the peach one.  I started out with an A2 base card to which I added a piece of the Stampendous background paper.  I then die cut a piece of Peach Sorbet Essential Cardstock with the Infinity Punch and Pierce plate.  I decided to use just the largest piece of this die cut so that the background paper would show thru.  I then cut out two of the smaller Essential Stylish Ovals, one from white cardstock and one from the peach colored cardstock.  I then stamped the sentiment from the fill my hearty sentiment stamp set onto white cardstock oval using clear pigment ink and then embossed with rose gold embossing powder.  It almost matched the peach paper perfectly.  Next I cut a large flower and two leaves from the Stylish Oval Hello You Floral die set..  The flower was cut from Velvet Rose essential cardstock, the center was cut from the Sunkissed Color Essential cardstock and the leaves from the sage color essential cardstock.  These are all new colors of cardstock for this month.  

This was then arranged and placed on the lower left side of the ovals.  As a final touch, I added some peach enamel drops from my stash.  


 For the second card, I also started with an A2 card base.  I added a background piece of the Sage  Color Essential Cardstock that was embossed using the EOM-Feb 23 Hydrangea Blooms.  To this I added a white piece of cardstock that was die cut  using the Essential Stylish Ovals die and stamped with sentiment stamp set.  It was stamped twice onto the white cardstock and then the sentiment was stamped in between the two images using the Fill My Heart Sentiment stamp set.  The flowers were colored using my copic markers and then the white oval was placed over the embossed background.  


I created this thank you card using the Stylish Ovals Thanks Glimmer Plate and gold and teal foil.  I started off again with an A2 card base to which I added some mirrored gold cardstock as a mat and them some teal cardstock as my backgound paper.  I then hot foiled the glimmer plate with gold foil onto white cardstock and colored the image with my copic markers.  I then foiled then foiled the sentiment with teal foil onto white cardstock and cut it out with the matching die.  It was popped up in the center of the card for some added dimension.  


The final card is a very colorful one using yellows and pinks.  I stared with an A2 cardbase and cut a yellow oval from it  using the Essential Stylish Ovals.  I used the negative space and added some watercolored paper from my stash to the background.  The I cut out the Stylish Oval Hello You Florals from green, pink, and yellow, cardstock.  The flower edges were inked with pink ink and everything was glued to the card.  I popped up the open flowers using foam squares.  The sentiment was also from this set and I cut it out of black cardstock so that it would pop.  As a final touch, I added some  yellow enamel dots from my stash.


As usual I have listed all the products I used to create these cards below.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask it in the comment section below and I will be more than happy to answer them for you.

Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die of the Month for April 2023

 Today I am showing off a card that I made using the Spellbinder Clear Stamp and Die of the Month for April 2023 called Friendship Garden.  I decided to pair it with the Punch and Pierce Borders which is also a club kit for April and I showed it off yesterday.  


I started this card by using an A2 card base to which I added a piece of lavender cardstock as the background.  I stamped and colored the image and colored it with copic markers.  It was then die cut  using the coordinating die.  I then cut out the Punched and Pierced borders from pink cardstock, and attached it and the stamped image as shown.  They were then wrapped with a thin purple ribbon and a multi-loop bow.  The sentiment weas then stamped and die cut from white cardstock and popped up onto the front of the card.

Feminine Birthday Card using Spellbinders Die of the Month for Apil 2023

Today I  am sharing a card made with Spellbinders Die  of the Month for April 2023 entitled Punch and Pierce Borders.   This is a beautiful  die and can be used for numerous occasions and backgrounds.   For this particular card, I decided to go with  a pink color  scheme and make it a birthday card.  




To create this card, I started with an A2 white card base to which I added a dark pink piece of cardstock the same size as the front of the card. I then  cut out the Punch and Pierced Borders from a lighter pink colored cardstock  to use as the background.  This was then glued to the dark pink background so that the darker pink color showed thru the lighter pink piece.  Then a pink ribbon was  wrapped around the front of the card and I tied a bow with the same ribbon which was attached underneath the ribbon.  I then stamped, cut, and colored with copic markers the small floral image from the Stamp and Die  of the Month set and popped it up just  above the ribbon.  The sentiment was chosen from the Mini Everyday Sentiments glimmer set and glimmered with magenta foil.  It was then cut out and popped up across the ribbon area just under the flowers.  As a final touch I added some dark pink enamel dots to the centers  of some of the flower designs on the background.  

I hope you like this card!  Being that pink is my favorite color, I do love it!  It was pretty quick and easy to make and I hope you will check out all of Spellbinders monthly club options by clicking here.  Be sure to check back tomorrow when I will have another club kit to share with you!
