Love You Endlessly with Spellbinders December 2024 Clubs

Tuesday, December 3, 2024

I went live on YouTube back on the first of the month with some of my friends using the December 2024 Spellbinders Clubs! In case you missed it, you can watch the replay down below - it's a longer one so feel free to watch in a faster speed... I had some technical difficulties, but I was able to move things around and was able to complete my stitching and card making in the video.

This is actually my last month with the Stitching Club - it was fun this year and while I enjoyed the Clubs this year, I do not tend to use them more than once and would like to give other Spellbinders Influencers a chance to use this Club in 2025. I'm hoping Carrie Rhoades and LV Handcrafted take the torch in 2025 and we'll see if maybe in the future I do them again! Keep your eye out for another video this month with the rest of the Clubs I receive for more card ideas!

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?

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.

Background Ideas with the Spellbinders October 2024 Clubs

Tuesday, October 29, 2024

I finally got some projects made with my Spellbinders October 2024 Clubs. I'm embarrassed it took me this long to get some cards made, but like I talked about in my previous video... Life has been CRAZY busy. I had a major accomplishment today at work, so I finally feel like I'm cresting the difficult mountain I've been on and things will start falling more into a rhythm soon.

But anyway, back to my video! I'm sharing how I used a few of the October 2024 Spellbinders Clubs to create 5 different backgrounds. I use the 3D Embossing Folder, Stencils, BetterPress and Glimmer Hot Foil but brought in all of the Clubs in some way over all of the five, final cards. You can see in my video down below how I created beach of my backgrounds.

For the pink bunny slippers card: I added a foiled sentiment (from BetterPress), die cut slippers and legs (from Large Die) and added texture to the pajamas (with Embossing Folder). My Christmas lights card: I colored in the foiled lights with alcohol makers and added a foiled sentiment (from BetterPress) as well as a Wax Seal. The polar bear card: I used the large foiled sentiment (from Glimmer) with my adorable bear (Die).

My pink critters card: I stamped my images and cut them out with the coordinating die (Clear Stamp + Die) after I colored them in with alcohol markers. My Christas tree card: this background worked well with adding in the amazing die cut images (Stitching) with the stitched details and my foiled sentiment (from BetterPress). I hope you like my backgrounds and get some ideas for those Club Kits! See you earlier in November for the next set up Clubs.

Stitched Sunflower Thanks Card with Spellbinders September '24 Clubs

Tuesday, September 3, 2024

I love crafting with friends - even if it's virtually! On Sunday, it was the first of the month, so I went live on YouTube with two of my crafty besties (LV Handcrafted and Sassy's LLC) and we used the September 2024 Clubs. This month I used the Stitching Dies, Stencil, and Embossing Folder to create a thank you card!

You can catch the replay of our live down below as well as the list of supplies I used to create this card. I think the Stitching Dies and Stencils might be my favorite of all of the September Clubs, but you'll have to watch my next video where I use more of the Clubs to see if I end up changing my mind! Let me know down below which Clubs you are most excited for this month.

Floral Cards with August 2024 Spellbinders Clubs

Saturday, August 17, 2024

I have a bit of a longer video today - I'm using the rest of the Spellbinders Clubs that I receive as part of the Influencer Team to create two, floral cards. This video features the Stencil, Clear Stamp & Die, 3D Embossing Folder, Die and Stitching Die of the Month Clubs! If you would like to know how I made my cards today, just scroll down a bit and you can find my video embedded for you to watch. 

The first card above is probably my favorite of the three that I made this month (you can find my first one from the YouTube Live here). I love the Stencil and I think it coordinates really well with the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month. My second card I wanted to use the Stitching Die in a different way than intended with the die set. I thought it would be fun to use the stitched rectangle shapes as a border along the bottom of my card instead of as a paint palette. 

Let me know down below in the comments which card is your favorite from August - either of the two above or the BetterPress card I made earlier this month with the Clear Stamp & Die and Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs, too.

Tropical Summer Vibes - 5 Cards with Spellbinders June 2024 Clubs!

Wednesday, June 12, 2024

Have you seen the June 2024 Spellbinders Clubs? I just love the tropical, summer vacation, retirement vibes they're giving and I wanted to mix and match the Clubs that I receive as part of being a part of the Spellbinders Influencer Team. I made five cards and even recorded them all. Now, this video is a long one and I didn't want to make it too terribly long, so I did try to keep my editing to just the important parts of each card.

For the first two cards, I used the BetterPress Plates of the Month both with the BetterPress and Glimmer Hot Foil Systems. I brought in the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month for the retirement card. I think the key and keychain are really cool! My next card is using the bonus die set with the Deluxe Caboodle with a sentiment from the Stitching Dies. My fourth card uses the Embossing Folder and Stitching Dies to create a fun ice cream cone with ombre thread. Finally, my last card brings in the Embossing Folder again with the Small Die Set and a sentiment from the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month.

I hope you enjoy my process video below and let me know what you think about this longer video. I was not able to join my crafty friends to go live on the first, so hopefully you'll enjoy a little edited look into my crafting with the June Club products. Do you like seeing a longer video with these different kits? Or would you prefer shorter videos throughout the month? Let me know!

Stitched Pineapple Card with Spellbinders

Friday, May 3, 2024

Earlier this week, I was on YouTube live with some of my crafty friends creating with the Spellbinders May Clubs! In case you missed it, I have it linked down below. During the live, I stitched the details of my pineapple and assembled my card together. I did do some prep before starting the live, so let's go over the different elements of my card.

I prepped my background which is a white piece of cardstock that I used with the Embossing Folder of the Month and splattered it with some black ink. I also stamped my sentiment and embossed it in white using the Clear Stamp of the Month and used the Coordinating Die to cut it out. The Stitching Die of the Month has different parts to make the pineapple so I cut them out in different colored cardstock.

Each of the die cut pieces have a bit of inking on them to add some dimension and I used a yellow floss to add my stitched details on the pineapple. When I assembled the card tighter, I popped up my elements to the background (which is adhered to an A2 card base) with foam and I added just a few black Pops of Color. I hope you like it and check out the projects my friends made in the video!

For You Stitched Floral Embroidery Hoop Card with Spellbinders

Tuesday, April 2, 2024

Did you catch my first livestream on my YouTube channel? Some of my crafty friends and I were using the April 2024 Club releases from Spellbinders so you could get a sneak of the clubs while you wait for yours to arrive. Or maybe you want to sign up for the Clubs because they're just stinkin' cute! If you are a current Club Member, you can alter your Clubs until the 4th, and if you'd like to start a Club Membership, you can order on the 6th!

Before the livestream, I die cut all of my Stitching Dies of the Month flowers pieces, embroidery hoop pieces and sentiment from cardstock in my stash. During the livestream, I added stitching to my flower pieces and adhered them to my hoop along with the sentiment. Since I didn't get a card completed, after the livestream ended, I added my hoop to a piece of yellow cardstock that has the Embossing Folder of the Month on a kraft card base as well as some Pops of Color.

We hope you liked the live format rather than a video hop this month! I think it's going to be how we move forward with Spellbinders releases and I did have fun with the livestream so maybe it's something I'll do more in the future?
