I’m excited to share how I created three unique cards using the December Spellbinders Club Kits. Each card showcases different techniques and products from the kits, and in my video today, I walk you through my process step by step. Here’s a breakdown of how each card came together.
For the first card, I started with the BetterPress Plate of the Month, which has this beautiful paisley design that I thought would be perfect for a Valentine's Day or gratitude card. I applied two ink colors—garnet and mulberry—onto the plate, making sure to blend them well for a smooth transition. After pressing the inked plate onto my cotton cardstock, I added a bit of Distress Ink in Seedless Preserves around the edges to create a vignette effect. For the sentiment, I used the "You are my heart's delight" stamp from the Clear Stamp Set, and I applied an emboss-resist technique to make the white embossed sentiment pop against the inked background. To finish the card, I added foam adhesive behind the sentiment for some dimension and sprinkled Lavender Luster Glitter Pops of Color in the open areas to give the design a little extra sparkle.

The second card focuses on the layering Stencils Club, which I had so much fun with! There are five stencils in total, but I chose to use the four layering stencils to create a soft, pastel argyle pattern with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink. I also added the dashed lines in Vintage Photo for a bit more texture. I love how versatile these stencils are—you can mix and match them to create different looks. For the sentiment, I used the Clear Stamp Set again. To keep the card simple and let the background shine, I didn’t add any embellishments, but I did use the 3D embossing folder for some subtle heart details to add even more depth and texture.

For the third card, I decided to make a shaker card, which is always a fun technique. I started by stenciling hearts using worn lipstick distress ink, creating an ombre effect that fades out at the bottom. Once my background was done, I die-cut a window with the "H" die and filled it with sequins and shaker bits for some movement. The die-cut flowers and leaves were layered together to add dimension around the "H," and I love how the colors came together. While I wasn’t thrilled with the placement of the "E-L-L-O" sentiment at first, I ended up liking the way it turned out, especially after I added the sequins to the flowers for some extra shine. The shaker element really makes this card stand out, but I think the second card is my favorite from the bunch.

Throughout these projects, I had a blast experimenting with the different Spellbinders Club Kits, from stenciling and die-cutting to embossing and ink blending. Whether you prefer flat, layered designs or interactive shaker cards, these kits have so much to offer. I hope you enjoy watching me make these cards and maybe even got some inspiration for your own projects. Let me know which card was your favorite!
