One In A Million Birthday Vellum Shaker | Spellbinders GOM-MAY21

Hello and Happy Monday to you all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

I am back today with a vellum shaker card featuring the Spot on Background & Sentiments that come in this Month's May Glimmer Hot Foil Kit from Spellbinders.

CARD RECIPE

• Set up Hot Foil System.
• Run the Spot plate from the GLIMMER HOT FOIL KIT through the PLATINUM 6 DIE CUTTING PLATFORM using and the POLISHED BRASS - Glimmer Foil. Repeat to fill the other side of the card panel. Set aside.

• Cut a piece of vellum approximately one inch larger than your dotted pattern panel on each side. 
• Blend out the rainbow colors onto the vellum panel. Allow for some drying time. 
• Die-cut the shaker bits using the dot dies included in the kit, reserve some for the card front.
• To avoid smearing the vellum flip the vellum piece so that the blended background will be the inside of the shaker pocket. Clip the corners of the vellum piece and fold down the sides of the vellum. (for a visual of a similar how-to video click HERE).
• Secure edges to the back of the dotted panel. Before gluing down the last side, add the shaker bits to the inside of the pocket.
• Glue the pocket to the card front.
• Add the foiled sentiment strips to the card front center and finish with the remaining gold die-cut dots.

Alternatively, foil the vellum piece so that the foiled dots can be more visible.

Birthday Baker Apron Easel Card | Honey Bee Stamps | Instagram Hop

Hello Friends, 

Today's card is part of the Honey Bee Stamp Let's Celebrate Release Instagram Hop. I have never made an Easel card before so it took me some figuring out to do, and I am so happy with the results that I think I will be making some more in the future. Make sure to check out the Hop for tons of inspiration and to enter the GIVEAWAY. Details on IG Hop HERE.

CARD RECIPE

• Stamps and Dies - Baked With Love Stamps &  Coordinating Dies
• Apron A2 Dies
• Apron: Garden Tool Add-on Dies
• Paper - Funfetti Birthday Paper Pad 
• Neenah Solar White HBS | SSS | AMZ
• Envelope - Funfetti Birthday A2 Envelopes
• Ink - Intense Black Ink 
• Shark Tooth Atelier Ink SSS | IO3
• Embossing Powder - Arctic White EP SSS | IO3
• Die Cut Machine - Gemini Junior SSS | AMZ
• Adhesives - Bee Creative Glue
• Foam - Foam Squares HBS
• Pens - White Gel Pen HBS 
• Colored - using Copic Markers SSS | AMZ

• Die-cut, color, and assemble apron, as shown above, set aside.
• To the card base, score a horizontal line on the front panel to create the fold for the Easel.
• Trim pattern paper to A2 size and cut paper to match the scoreline created on the card front. Glue in place.

• On the inside of the card, glue a rectangle pop-up together using pattern paper. I glued an extra piece of cardstock under the top (where the card front will rest for added strength).
• Cut a little slot toward the front of the rectangle pop-up to slide the support for the bowl, fold the support piece, and glue it to the inside of the pop-up. Glue bowl to the support.
• To the front of the rectangle piece glue the wooden roller by adding a piece of paper scored in half and gluing it to the top of the roller and the edge of the pop-up ensuring that the pieces will fold flat when the card is closed. (see second to last photo for an overhead visual).

• Stamp sentiments as shown (in hindsight, it would have been easier to stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card before I glued on the pop-up).

• Love that these Easel cards fold flat too and fit nicely in an envelope.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Stitched Card Front, Border & Flower Inspiration Projects | Spellbinders DOML - MAY21

Hello friends and hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday! Today's projects feature the Large Die of the Month Kit as well as the Clear Stamp of the Month Club Kit for May 2021.

CARD RECIPE

• Die-cut floral frame from the Large Die of the Month using your Die Cutting Machine.
• Stich using floss or twine. (I would recommend floss as the twine I used got a bit bulky in some spots.)

• On the card base, stamp out the sentiment of your choice from the Clear Stamp of the Month Club.  
• Glue finished stitched piece to the card base.
• Embellish with gems and crystals.

For my next project, I decided to create a rainbow-inspired boolmark using the floral strip from the Large Die of the Month.

To create the bookmark.

•  Stitch each flower using a different color in rainbow order.
• Die-cut another piece and glue it to the back of the stitched area.
• Glue the rainbow floral strip to a bookmark cut to the desired size.
• Punch a hole on the top of the bookmark. 
• Loop through and secure rainbow colors of twine. 
• Embellish flower centers with jewels.
