Spellbinders LARGE DIE February 2022

The Large Die of the month is called Typing Class.
This is a 22 pieces die -set.
It includes dies that will allow you to assemble a Typewriter and also different flowers designs.
The set also includes five dies to cut generic sentiments in the illustration below.

The Cardmaking Process

This is an A6 card ( UK size – 6″ x 4-1/4″ inches). So this card is slightly larger than a C6 American standard card.

First, I die-cut all the pieces using the Large Die of the month.
Some were cut out of afordable watercolor paper that I previously painted using different colours of Arteza watercolor paints [Available at Arteza USA here – Arteza UK here]
Other pieces were die cut out of Spellbinders Gold Cardstock.
Then, I assembled the tywritter.
As the typewriter die will cut a slit at the top of the machine, I added a little note with a hot foiled message using a glimmer plate from the Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of this month called “Anytime Glimmer Sentiments”.
To do hot foiling, I use the Spellbinders Hot foil System + The Spellbinders die-cutting machine Platinum 6″.
To finish the card , I used dimentinal pads to adhered the die-cuts onto the card base.
Done!

Small Die, stamp and die of the month February 2022

This very simple card was made using Stamp and Die of the month ( Old School Notes –Feb 2022).

I also die-cut a backing panel using one of the stitching dies from the Small Die this month, called Oval Stitch & Border

First, I stamped the images on Neenah 80 lb cardstock using Memento Inks.
Then, I added colors using Arteza Alcohol Markers.
Next, I die-cut all the pieces using coordinating dies and set aside.
I die-cut a background piece using a die from the Small Die this month and I stuck it onto the cardbase using foam tape.
To finish , I stuck the pieces on the background as seen in the picture using double sided foam pads.
Done!

Amazing Paper Grace February 2022

I don’t know what would you think but I decided to use dies included in the Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace (APG) this month to try to make a little pop-up bench!

So this prototype could be improved.

** All supplies used are listed at the bottom of this post.

The APG this month is called Marvelous Medallion and it includes 13 cutting dies.
Some of this dies will cut borders and other will cut little flowers and leaves seen in the pictures.
There are many things you can do using the large border dies included in this die set but I just wanted to try something I have had in mind for quite a while.

Cardmaking Process

First, I made the bench legs that are basically a narrow piece of paper folded to form a square ( basic pop- up)
So I scored two 5″ x 1/4″ inches pieces of cardstock every 1″ inch, making two square pieces that would work as a that pop- up base.
I openened the card base and I aligned the little square pop-ups with the cardbase center line.
Then, I addhered one side of the square op- up to the back of the cardbase and the other to the front. [Hard to explain, but very easy to do.]
Next, I glued the bench pieces over.
I decorated the pieces using floral die-cuts.
The banners where made using pre-printed Symphaty Sentiments Strips by Simon Says Stamp.

embossing folder + large die february 2022

Last month Spellbinders introduced a new subscription called ” Embossing Folder of the month”.

The embossing folders measure 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ inches and this month the embossing folder is called Sketched Floral” ( in the picture below)

The Cardmaking Process

To make this card, I simply embossed a piece of watercolor paper.
I sprayed water on the front and at the back of the paper prior to embossing and allowed to dry.
Then, I used floral and leaves die-cuts made using the Large Die of the month to decorate.
The sentiment “Happy” was hot foiled using a glimmer plate from Glimmer Hot Foil Kit.
To complete the sentiment , I used teh die ” Birthday” from Layered Scrpit Sentimets die set ( I layered 3 die cuts to give stability).
