November 2024 Club Kits - 2 Card Ideas

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Look, friends! I have my November Club projects and it's the first week of the month. Hah! I'm pretty proud of myself for making two more projects (my first was during my live on YouTube) using products from the November 2024 Spellbinders Clubs. You can watch my video below to see how I created these cards. My first card is the Best Wishes Sloth and second I create the Rainbow Hooray card!

I used most of the Clubs I receive as a Spellbinders Influencer for the first card: Clear Stamp & Die, Small Die, Stitching Die, Stencil, Embossing Folder and 3D Embossing Folder. I went with a blue and teal color scheme and that cute sloth just makes me so happy! For the second card, I used the BetterPress Club with lots of inks to create the rainbow paint swatches and then foiled the sentiments with white on black cardstock to really pop off the card.

Let me know which of the three cards I made using the Clubs are your favorite! Which Clubs are you most excited for this month?

Amaryllis Christmas Cards with Spellbinders

Monday, November 4, 2024

I have two cards to share with you today! I'm using products form the Spellbinders Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula to create two Christmas cards. There are beautiful florals with these products and I used the latest Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch from Call Me Crafty Al for my layouts. The card on the left is a BetterPress background and I used the coordinating stencils to color the background in. I followed the sketch to add three strips to the left that have been embossed with pine leaves. Both sentiments of the cards are BetterPress sentiments and I just love the mix of fonts.

The second card has a pretty tone on tone look with the 3D embossed background and gold strips and die cut floral images. I die cut the florals twice - once out gold and once in white cardstock. Before piecing in the white pieces, I used ink t create a pink look to the petals I used the shadow die out of vellum to be able to glue the flower's gold frame and then added in the now pink petals. I hope you like how I used these new products and how I tweaked the SUYS sketch for this month!

It's Your Day, Milk It! Strawberry Cows with The Sassy Club

Sunday, November 3, 2024

Happy Sassy Sunday, friends! I've been re-working my schedule and I'm going to be moving Sassy Sundays to Sassy Saturdays - just not this week. I'm trying to work in some breaks in my schedule - twice a week I'll take a break of posting to help with pacing out my projects and really just myself. But we can talk about that during a future video when I run out of things to talk about while I'm coloring, hah!

My card this week is using products from The Sassy Club for Craft Roulette! I'm using adorable stamps that I colored in with Olo Markers and dies to create my strawberry milk and it pouring into a bowl. Now, why it's going into a bowl? I don't know, I guess this person likes strawberry milk. I honestly don't know why I didn't do a cup - but it's too late now and it's still cute!

The milk carton is probably my favorite thing on the card and it's really just a simple layout. One of the parameters this week was the project had to be interactive, so I followed the CR guest by making one of my cows a wobbler! Let me know how you think I did with my card and if I meet the parameters of Craft Roulette.

For the Swifties! Three Cards with Spellbinders

Saturday, November 2, 2024

Happy Fandom Friday on a Saturday! I ended up making THREE cards for my video today, so it took me a little longer than normal so I need the extra time to get this edited and up this weekend. I am making Taylor Swift inspired cards - three different albums inspired my projects and I'm using stamps, dies, press plates and hot foil plates from new Spellbinders Collections: Beads of Friendship and Shine Bright.

The three albums that inspired my cards are Lover, Reputation and Speak Now - definitely leaned into the color schemes for these albums and you can watch my video down below to see the process for each card. For Lover, I just absolutely love the heart hands and foiling on shimmery paper. I think the design looks so fun and is the perfect bestie card. Reputation has silver, black, white and grey with a pop of red from the bracelets. I used one of the songs from the album to add a sentiment to the bracelets.

Speak Now is my favorite of the three cards! I love all the purple and white on white background. I used an embossing folder to give the panel some dimension and did a mix of foiling, ink and Astro Paste for the disco balls. I also used a song title to add a word to the bracelets. I hope these cards bring a smile to your face today! Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments.

Birthday Turtle with Spellbinders November 2024 Clubs

Friday, November 1, 2024

Today was the best day of the month! I love the first of the months because I get to craft live with a few of my crafty friends who are also Spellbinders Clubs Influencers. I had to miss a couple over the Summer and last month everyone was a bit too busy, but it was so nice crafting and chatting with them today. I also love that more crafty friends can chime in through the chat so we get to all just have some fun to start the month.

For my card, I focused on the Stitching Club where I made a teal frame with white Diamant Metallic Thread. I also brought in the Small Die Club (cute turtle with balloons), Clear Stamp & Die Club (sentiment), Stencil, and Embossing Folder (background). The background was also die cut with one of the stitched rectangles from the Stitching Club.

I just love how everyone's projects turned out and can't wait to create more to share with you early next week. Let me know which Clubs you're getting this month! You can click the link below to get an overview of all of the Clubs this month.

You'll Join Us Someday Halloween Card for Twiddler's Nook Spooktacular!

Thursday, October 31, 2024

Today is the trifecta! It's Halloween (the best holiday), last day of the month (Halloween inspiration) and it's the big finish of the Twiddler's Nook Spooktacular! So of course I'll be highlighting using Twiddler's Nooks products in my video (brushes, magnetic tray) and I used the Happy Jacks Clay Embellishments. These embellishments were just begging to be used with my Rock Facts stamp set from Popsiclesticks.

If you're like, what the heck is going on in this card? You have to watch my YouTube video as I'll give you some insights to this older, cartoon mini-series that Davina from Popsiclesticks told me about and Abi and I became instantly obsessed. I used the stamp set for my images and sentiment, embellishments from Twiddler's Nook, scenery dies from Lawn Fawn and Kindred Stamps, and the swirly frame is from The Sassy Club.

Let me know your favorite quote from this show and don't forget to hop along with us over on Instagram!

Not Dead Yet Fandom Card with The Sassy Club

Wednesday, October 30, 2024

My Sassy Sundays are becoming Sassy mid-weeks... But here is my Sassy fandom project for the week! I used it for Craft Roulette (as has been the norm for the past few weeks) and actually kept things kinda simple to let my colored characters be the highlight of the card. I started with stamping all of my images and colored them in with Olo Markers. I also stamped my sentiment in the speech bubble and fussy cut all of them out.

My background is made of diagonal striped pattern paper and two layers of the Slime Die from The Sassy Club. I did spray my red cardstock with glimmer spray to give it some subtle shine so I don't make it too glittery. But still has glitter, because I love shine! I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to the pattern paper and splatter before layering everything together.

My images are then added with foam adhesive and I stamped a secondary sentiment to one of the openings in my background because I really liked the sentient with these characters. I love my little short king doggo in the corner the most on this card, but let me know what you think of this card! I leaned into the red pasta color for the Craft Roulette parameters, but let me know if you think I hit the four parameters with my card.
