Spellbinders - From Bold to Delicate: September Club Kits Inspiration

Hello friends!
I’m excited to share two cards I created using the Spellbinders September Club Kits

This month’s sets are so beautiful and versatile—it’s perfect for both bold, colorful projects and softer, clean-and-simple designs.

✨ Card 1 using DOML and the BPOM




For my first card, I went with a bold look! I blended rich reds and pinks for the background, added a touch of texture, and then framed the card with sparkly gold. The layered die-cut leaves bring in all the autumn vibes with bright pops of color. I love how cheerful and festive this one feels!

Steps:
  1. Letterpress a white panel with the Better press of the month plate.
  2. Start by ink blending a piece of white cardstock with shades of pink and red inks. Layer the colors until you achieve a rich background.
  3. Die-cut the rectangular frame from Rose gold glitter cardstock. Adhere it over the blended panel using 3D foam.
  4. Die-cut multiple leaves from white cardstock for the Large Die of the month . Ink blend each in fall colors like yellow, green, orange, and pink and turquoise.
  5. Arrange and adhere the leaves to the corners of the frame for a clustered effect.
  6. Die-cut the “Hallo” sentiment from the German Everyday Sentiments Etched Dies from the International Sentiments Collection
  7. Add color to create an ombre look. Back it with a vellum shadow for softness, then adhere it to the center.
  8. Mount the panel to a card base and finish with splatters or gems if desired.

✨ Card 2 using DOM and BPOM




For the second card, I took a softer approach. I added loose watercolor splatters in shades of pink and then layered the delicate die-cut foliage in pastel hues. The result is airy, fresh, and full of dimension while keeping the design clean and modern.

Steps:
  1. Letterpress a white panel with the Better press of the month plate. Sponge pink ink.
  2. Take a piece of watercolor cardstock to size. Create pink watercolor splatters across the background. Let dry.
  3. Die-cut a stitched rectangle panel and adhere it over a dry embossed card base for subtle texture.
  4. Die-cut foliage from white cardstock. Lightly watercolor in pastels—greens, pinks, and Turquoise.
  5. Cluster the foliage in the center. Adhere some flat and others popped up with foam tape.
  6. Die-cut the “Hallo” sentiment from white cardstock and layer it with a black shadow for contrast.
  7. Place the sentiment over the foliage to complete the design.
Hope you enjoyed todays cards. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
