Spellbinders March 2024 Club Kits

Welcome to the weekend friends!  The March 2024 Club Kits from Spellbinders have been revealed and there are tons of beautiful and unique book-themed designs this month!  Today I’m sharing ten card projects featuring the Large Die of the Month, Small Die of the Month, Stitching Die of the Month, Glimmer Kit of the Month, Clear Stamp of the Month Kit, Embossing Folder of the Month, 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Kits, BetterPress of the Month Kit, and the Stencil of the Month Kit!

Note: The new Subscription Sign-Up Window opens on the 6th of each month and closes on the 27th.  After existing club members subscriptions have been processed, if there is additional inventory remaining, then they will be made available for new subscriptions and will have limited availability. Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 5th of each month. This means existing Club Members will still be able to cancel subscriptions or make edits to payment or shipping info up until the 4th of each month.

LARGE DIE OF THE MONTH

This month’s Large Die of the Month Kit, “Classic Tales“, is a sweet set of 19 dies that can be used to create a beautiful stack of books with a fun house and trees sprouting out of it!  I used all of the dies in the set to make this bright and colorful love card, but you can use the book dies alone for even more options.

I cut all of the components out of Spellbinders cardstock and assembled them with liquid glue.  To create the background, I embossed a piece of Glacier Cardstock using this month’s Embossing Folder of the Month, added the die-cuts on top, and finished it all off with a sentiment foiled in Aura Hot Foil using this month’s Glimmer Kit of the Month.

SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH

This month’s Small Die of the Month Kit, “Wise Owl“, is such a unique set perfect for book lovers or even soon-to-be-graduates.  The kit contains 15 cutting dies that allow you to cut an adorable owl and place him atop a beautiful layered book.   I cut my owl and book out of shades of brown and blue to create this fun graduation card in my recipient’s school colors!

To assemble the card, I embossed a piece of Glacier Cardstock with this month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, matted it with Cosmic Sky Cardstock, and added it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  The sentiment was foiled in Cobalt Hot Foil using this month’s Glimmer Kit of the Month.

STITCHING DIE OF THE MONTH

This month’s Stitching Die of the Month continues with the fun book theme!  “Stitched Read & Sip“, is a set of 17 dies that cuts a stack of books you can stitch as well as a sweet stitchable teacup and floral assessories.  I cut all of the elements from brightly-colored Spellbinders cardstock and then stitched everything up with gold metallic thread.  The stitching is very simple with this months’s design, and the die-cuts look great as-is if you’re not feeling up to stitching.

The background and sentiment were foiled onto white cardstock using Aura Hot Foil and this month’s Glimmer of the Month Kit.  After adding the books and teacup on top of the striped panel, I tucked some of the flowers and leaves from the kit behind the stack to embellish.

CLEAR STAMP & DIE OF THE MONTH KIT

I know that gnomes can be a little controversial sometimes, but I really love the style of these illustrations and the book tie-in!  This month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Kit, “Storytime Gnomes” is a set of 9 stamps with three large gnome images as well as some great coordinating sentiments.  If your subscription includes the coordinating dies, you’ll also get 7 dies to cut out the main images and all of the sentiments.  I stamped all of the images from the kit onto white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers before cutting them out using the coordinating dies to create this cute thank you card (keep scrolling to see the other images!).

To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Waterfall Cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″ and stamped the book and star images from the kit all over in a similar color of ink to form my own tone-on-tone patterned paper.  After adhering the panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base, I popped the image and sentiment up on top with foam adhesive and added a few opalescent sequins to embellish.

GLIMMER KIT OF THE MONTH

This month’s Glimmer Kit of the Month, “Sketched Lines” contains 2 Glimmer plates that can be used to foil a fun background or border design along with four book-themed sentiments and their coordinating die.  I applied Aura Hot Foil to Pink Sand Cardstock using the stripe image (you have to foil twice to cover an entire A2-sized panel) and one of the sentiments from the kit for this pretty birthday card for my daughter.

Where can you get that princess castle?  “Fairy Tales” is this month’s bonus item available only to those that subscribe to the Deluxe Caboodle Club…this set of 9 dies will build a beautiful layered castle like this one and works perfectly with the open book from this month’s Large Die of the Month!  I added a simple circle die-cut behind it that I had inked with Salty Ocean Distress Ink and a few clouds from the On Cloud Nine Die Set for an extra dreamy look.

EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH

And here is this month’s beautiful Embossing Folder of the Month, “Checkered Scallops“.  It embosses a subtle wave pattern that gives a nod to rows of books and open volumes, but is also versatile enough to work for just about any kind of card.  I embossed a piece of white cardstock and then easily blended a little Saltwater Taffy and Dried Marigold Distress Ink over the rows using two of the layering stencils in this month’s Stencil of the Month Kit.

To complete the card, I added another one of my colored gnome images and sentiments from this month’s Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Kit on top of the fun background with foam adhesive.  Then I picked some Aura and Pink Opalescent Sequins to match the inked background and added a few to embellish.

3D EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH

And speaking of versatile, this month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month pretty much works with everything!  “Classic Backdrop” is exactly what it sounds like…a classic trellis or crosshatched design that is elegant and will never sit idle on your craft bench for long.  I embossed a piece of Glacier Cardstock with the folder and inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Ink to bring out the design a bit more in those areas.

And since I still hadn’t had enough of this month’s Large Die of the Month, I created this pretty floral card perfect for any kind of new beginning – marriage, baby, or even a new job.  The flowers and leaves coming out of the book were cut using a mix of dies from both the Small and Large Die of the Month Kits, and I added yet another sentiment foiled in Aura Hot Foil using the Glimmer of the Month Kit.

BETTERPRESS OF THE MONTH

This month’s BetterPress of the Month Kit, “Friendship Book Plate“, contains 2 press plates that create a beautiful border design and a sweet sentiment as well as two dies to cut the center of the design and the sentiment out.  I loved how these designs resembled a gilded leather-bound book, so I used my kit to add Aura Hot Foil to Wild Berry Cardstock and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

To assemble the card, I first embossed a white card base using this month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month before adhering the foiled components on top with foam adhesive.  Then I added a bunch of Teal Mix Gems to the “book cover” as berries to embellish.

STENCIL OF THE MONTH

This month’s Stencil of the Month, “Dynamic Backgrounds” is a set of 5 layering stencils that creates three abstract background designs.  I masked off a small circle on some Dune Cardstock and used two of the stencils to apply Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Ink to create this fun background for a coffee-themed card.

After adding the background to a top-folding A2-sized white card base, I popped another cute gnome image and sentiment from this month’s Clear Stamp & Die of the Month up on top with foam adhesive.  Then I added Peach Opalescent Sequins around my image to finish off the card.

WAX SEAL OF THE MONTH

Lastly, here is a look at this month’s Wax Seal of the Month Kit.  The “Congrats On Your New Chapter” Wax Seal Kit contains one pretty square wax seal stamp as well as a bag of coordinating waxbeads.  My kit came with Twilight Purple Wax Beads, so I melted them before pressing it with the stamp to create this pretty seal.  To bring out the design more, I added gold metallic marker to the raised design of the seal.

I kept the scene simple with some books from the Large Die of the Month Kit on a makeshift shelf (white cardstock embossed with a woodgrain press plate) all placed atop a background of Waterfall Cardstock embossed with the Classic Backdrop Embossing Folder.

I hope you enjoyed these fun book-themed card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can subscribe to any of the Spellbinders Clubs starting on the 6th of the month (including the new Stencil of the Month Club!) and never miss a great kit like these again!
