Sending Love, Just Because I Care

Today I'm sharing my card I made with the Spellbinders' BetterPress Club Kit for March.  This beautiful press plate is called Quilted Memories and I love the more generic design so I can use it with different styles of cards!

I decided to use the Quilted Memories Press Plate with coordinating cardstock and ink for a subtle tone-on-tone background.  I used a piece of Bellini cardstock and inked up the press plate with a coordinating peachy color ink.  After running it through my BetterPress Letterpress System, I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼" and glued it to an A2 card base.

I used the Sealed Blooming Stems die set and die cut the pieces from BelliniCoral and Rainforest cardstocks.  Before I glued the layers together, I inked up the flower edges and under layer with a darker peachy ink.

The main sentiment is the Copperplate Sending Love BetterPress letter press plate.  The March BetterPress club kit includes two sub-sentiments and I chose one to go along with the other sentiment.  They both are pressed onto Porcelain cotton card with BetterPress black ink.  I cut the main sentiment with a rectangle die from the A2 Matting Basics A set and the small sentiment with the die that is included in the BetterPress Club Kit.

I added foam tape to the back of both sentiments and adhered the Sending Love first.  Then I arranged the flowers and adhered them with glue.  I finished up by adding the other sentiment as shown.

If you have never checked out Spellbinders' Club Kits, I would encourage you to do so.  There is a club for several different products if you aren't into press plates.  Also you can cancel at any time!

Spellbinders - July 2021 Card Kit of the Month - Damask Daydream

 Hello friends!  It's time for another gorgeous Spellbinders' Card Kit of the Month!  I'm truly amazed at the quantity you get in each kit!

I created three cards to share with you, but there are supplies for so many more!  Also, I'm definitely saving the extra die cut pieces to use in my scrapbooking (when I get back to it, that is!)  These are just perfect for your layouts in any style of scrapbook!

Except for a couple of additional Spellbinders dies (which are linked at the end) you don't need any additional products to create your cards!  So I'll leave you with photos of the gorgeous cards with a brief explanation, where needed.

This card uses some of the included pretty patterned paper along with one of the dies in the kit.  I backed the patterned paper with some of the included purple card stock.


This next card uses more patterned paper and some die cut shapes one of which I popped up with the foam squares.

I used the stamp set and stamped the sentiment in black ink (not included) and die cut it with the coordinating die.  The papers are cut with the A2 Matting Basics dies.

For my third card, I just had to use more of the beautiful butterflies!!  It's very hard to tell in the photos, but the butterflies have a clear acetate overlay with just a bit of sparkle on them.  So pretty!

I die cut the white card stock with an Elliptical Oval Etched die and popped it up after I stamped the sentiment.

The elements in this kit are absolutely beautiful and I would've created more cards, if only I had the time!  I hope I've inspired you to check out the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month!  Thank you so much for stopping by!
