Cards Using Numbers for Special Occasions - Spellbinders Large Die of the Month


Customized Special Occasion Cards (Combining Prior Kits) - Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

 Let's get the party started with Spellbinders Large Die of the Month
 for Feb 2021. This set will help personalize special celebrations all year long from "save the date" events, to anniversaries, milestone birthdays, graduations and much more.  DIY custom birthday cards and special occasion cards just got easier. 

I expanded my imagination a bit because I seem to have a battle of the wits going on at my house.  I have three identical cats who prowl about as one, always together.  
I love my three darlin's and have enjoyed featuring them on cards so this was a fun  alternative use for Spellbinders Large Numbers dies.  

Here is an image of the entire set:

In addition to Spellbinders Large Die of the Month, Spellbinders offers a variety of monthly kit subscriptions like the Card Kit of the Month. The purpose of the kits are to provide new product conveniently to your door.  I bet most of us have fun with the product for the month them add the products to our stash and move on.  

I'm here to encourage you to combine the kits, pull them out often and think of fun ways to keep using them.  The kitties seen in this card are stamps from Spellbinders Card Club Kit for January 2021 ( last month). Click on the images to see more details.  




The Sentiment: 
The sentiment on this card, "Dynamic, Witty, Charming" was added using Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System with the Gemini Hot foil plate from Spellbinders new Celestial Zodiacs Collection.  My cards today use Spellbinders  Gold Foil .  

Lately I've had a lot of crafty fun using Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System.  The foil adds a beautiful touch of elegance and refinement to my projects and cards.  It's easy to use and Spellbinders has a wonderful assortment of foils to accent your cards.   



These are my Sweet "Grays", Eddie Gray, Macy Gray and Frannie (Francesca) Gray.  They are entertaining and charming - most certainly dynamic and a trio to be reckoned with. I'm still debating the "witty" part to be honest - but they do outwit me at times (often).

The Shaker and Shaker Mix
I adore the element of surprise one gets when opening a shaker card.  Interactive cards are unique and fun.   The Star Shaker Set is from Creative Embellishments.  
The chipboard shaker was painted with acrylic paints to blend with the background paper from Stamperia.   

Every shaker needs fabulous shaker mix to bring the card to life.  This card has a new shaker mix from Buttons Galore -  Shaker Mix in a Cube- Glittering Stars .

Whimsical Reindeer and Festive Mitten Shaker Cards for Christmas

   

Time to shake up Christmas with some shaker cards featuring Creative Embellishments unique original chipboard shaker sets filled with fabulous, festive shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More.  We all need a festive and fun Christmas and I'm doing my best to pitch in and bring cheer to those on my card list.  

The cards today feature a shaker set that I adore - the Whimsical Deer Shaker   and the perfect seasonal Mitten Shaker.  While I love them both, that reindeer has my heart.  



The Christmas Mitten (Shaker Card)

The chipboard Mitten Shaker was painted with cream colored acrylics and speckled with gold acrylic.  Once dry, I added gold braiding to the inside of the card before sealing up to create a faux mitten cuff - with the purpose of adding different shaker mix. 

The paper used today is from card  Maja Design's new collection called Traditional Christmas, with it's rich red tones and beautiful holiday print (plus a few elves/gnomes).  

The Shaker Mix

Every shaker needs some cool mix to bring it to "life".  There are two different mixes used on this card.  Buttons Galore's  Home Spun Holidays Sparkletz mix was used in the hand part of the mitten, and Buttons Galore - Golden Bottle Sequin/ Bead Mix was used in the cuff part.

Hot Foil Background

Have you tried hot foiling? I'm just getting into the game having recently bought Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This adds a touch of gold elegance to the card in my opinion. 

The background of the card has been enhanced with a delicate gold foil design created with Spellbinders Filigree Crescent Band Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken.

Whimsical Deer Shaker Card

The Whimsical Deer Shaker set was inked with Walnut Stain Distress ink.  I added the Santa hat after it was dry (purchased from a big craft store).  Scroll down and you can see how to create the texture on the trees. 

  

The textured treatment on the Tree Border was easy to make using a mixture of paint ( Forest Moss Distress Paint) with heavy gesso.    I added the mixture to the chipboard with a palette knife - sort of like adding fluffy merengue to a pie.

Once the gesso paint mixture is dry, I inked the edges with Walnut Stain for more dramatic dimension.

The Shaker Mix and Finishing Embellishments

The shaker mix here is Buttons Galore  Merry Mimosa Doo Dadz  added to the red nose and Buttons Galore Golden  Sequin mix for the rest of the head.  The hat has been topped with Buttons Galore's 3D  Holly 3D.
