A Spellbinders “Die of the Month Club” Card

Spellbinders Dec. Die of the Month

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so excited that Spellbinders has started a “Die of the Month Club”.  The monthly dies cost $12.50 with free shipping and a 3 month subscription.  The “December 2015” dies are the greenery under the flowers.  There were 3 similar dies in the kit, and I used two of them on the card.  The website for the dies is http://www.makersmart.com/.  I love the idea of getting beautiful new dies every month. There are also informative videos on ways to use the dies on the website.  I also used “Standard Circles Small” and “Petite Scalloped Circles Large” by Spellbinders on the card. The cardstock on the 5″ by 6 1/2 ” card was “Just Peachy”, “Jelly Bean Green”, and “Ivory” by Gina K. Designs.  The pattern paper was the “Make a Wish” page from the “Time to Celebrate” Collection by Graphic 45.  The flowers were by Recollection and the ink was “Sweet Leaf” from Close to My Heart.

This is a Waterfall Folio that was designed by “My Sister Scrapper” on YouTube.  The title of the video is “Graphic 45 Waterfall Folio Tutorial“.  It is very easy to make and takes about an hour to put together.  I used “Grafix Medium Weight Chipboard Sheets, 12-Inch by 12-Inch, Natural, 25-Pack”  from Amazon.  I also used a Graphic 45 “Home Sweet Home” paper pad.  The textured cardstock on the front and back is from Michaels.  The eggshell cardstock is from Hobby Lobby – individual 12 by 12 sheets.
