Hey Crafty Friends!! I am thrilled to share some exciting news. I’ve finally had the chance to dive into Spellbinders’ new clubs! Today, I immersed myself in crafting with the fabulous Large Die, Stencil, Clear Stamp, and Bonus Die clubs.

I crafted two cards featuring the exciting new clubs! One is a shaker card bursting with festive confetti, sure to bring joy to anyone who sees it. Both creations beautifully incorporate the stencil of the month. The adorable pink monster comes from the Large Die of the Month. It radiates charm. The delightful blue monster hails from the bonus die in the Deluxe Club.

Card 1 – Fuzzy Monster

I started this card with the Stencil of the Month. Let me tell you, this month’s offerings absolutely blew me away! You get not one, but two stunning patterns, and the heart design is a single sheet bursting with potential. I chose three shades of pink to achieve an ombré effect that truly brings the card to life. Cutting the finished sheet down to 4″ x 5.25″ was just the beginning. I adhered it to an A2 size black card mat. This step really makes those pink tones pop!

Next, I used the Large Die of the Month to transform pink glitter paper. It became the most adorable furry monster you’ve ever seen. The assembly was like a delightful puzzle, blending in bold black and crisp white elements for a striking contrast. The heart and sentiment came from the same set, perfectly complementing the playful spirit of the card. To top it all off, I embellished with Rose Gems, a fabulous surprise gifted to me as a club member bonus. Everything is beautifully adhered to a white A2 size card base. I chose a top fold for this creation. It is just perfect for showcasing all that vibrant charm!

Card 2 – Monstrous Shaker Card

This month, the December Deluxe Club brought in this adorable monster die that complements the Large Die set perfectly. I couldn’t resist using a bright blue color to make that monster truly pop! The sentiment came from the Clear Stamp of the Month. Although it didn’t come with a coordinating die, I took on the challenge. I fussy cut around it.

This vibrant shaker card began with a stencil, featuring another pattern from this month’s club. I selected pink and red hues to bring it to life! After cutting the cardstock down to A2 Size (4.25″ x 5.5″), I also trimmed a blank white sheet that would serve as the foundation for the top of my shaker card. I absolutely loved working with the fantastic cut-out frame from the November Large Die of the Month: Hooray! It’s your birthday! An acetate sheet delicately covered the cut-out hole, carefully trimmed to match the A2 dimensions.

I used raised foam tape around the edge of the cutout. This allowed the sprinkle of confetti to flutter in the center. I then placed the stenciled sheet atop everything, creating a playful layer. In the end, I attached all of this to an A2 size card base. I opted for a top fold to perfectly accommodate the card’s delightful weight. The result? A whimsical and heartfelt shaker card that I can’t wait to share!
