Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m showcasing the October 2024 Monthly Club Kits from Spellbinders. The first card features the “Cozy Toes Slippers” Large Die of the Month and the second card features the “Merry & Bright Cloche” Stitching Die of the Month. Club Kits close on the 27th of each month so get them while you can!
This month I have the pleasure of playing with the “Cozy Toes Slippers” Large Die of the Month and it makes me so giddy. I’m sure you’ve seen the pyjama pants and slippers with Santa and four other animals! I wanted to work more simply with just the penguin and dress it up with all the accessories.
The “Cozy Toes Slippers” Large Die of the Month comes with a toque, ear muffs, reindeer antlers and a Santa hat in both directions which is a bonus. I wanted to keep the colours simple and consistent throughout.
The colour palette I chose for this first card include Poppy, Clementine and Oceanside, with the basics Onyx, Snowdrift, Glitter White Foam and Matte Gold Foil Paper. After assembling all the penguins and die cutting the accessories, I added gold glasses cut from the Smart Glasses Dies.
I cut the sentiment from Snowdrift, along with shadow banners from Poppy and Matte Gold Foil Paper. Then I cut an A2 panel from Oceanside cardstock and embossed it with the Diamond Plaid Embossing Folder.
I popped up the penguins in a grid pattern with foam squares, then added the sentiment strip to finish the card.
My second card features the “Merry & Bright Cloche” Stitching Die of the Month. I always love each month’s stitching die and this one is no exception. I adore cloches and I was so happy to see this one with a Christmas little tree.
This card also uses the colours Poppy, Clementine and Oceanside, just like my first card. I swapped out the black for Midnight and the plain white cardstock with Glitter White Paper. This card also features Gold Glitter Paper and Matte Gold Foil Paper.
After stitching the base of the cloche, tree and trunk using coordinating colours from the DMC Warm Color Floss Bundle, DMC Cool Color Floss Bundle and DMC Diamant Grande Light Gold Metallic Thread, I assembled the cloche using a combination of white liner tape and foam squares.
Then I cut an A2 panel from Glitter White Paper, misted it with water and embossed it with the Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder. This is the first time I tried dry embossing with glitter paper and love the results. It’s so sparkly in real life!
After attaching the cloche on to the embossed base panel, I added Fashion Gold Pearls as ornaments on the tree to finish the card.
