Spellbinders January 2023 Club Kits Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

I am back sharing a slimline card made for a friend’s birthday this month.  The card features Spellbinder’s Large and Small Die Club Kits January 2023.  I love these two club kits and couldn’t wait to play with them.  Since it’s my friend’s birthday, these kits are perfect for the occasion.  Once a month, I get together with a small group of girlfriends for a meal.   We usually explore new restaurants in town, catch up and if someone has a birthday, we celebrate the occasion.  It’s such a wonderful thing to do and I look forward to the event each time.   I can’t wait to see her reaction to this card at the upcoming gathering. Anyway, I usually consider the recipient’s favorite colors when making the card.  This friend doesn’t have a favorite color.  She wants to be surprised.  Knowing that she loves slimline cards, here’s how I made her birthday card.

Steps:

1. From Spellbinder’s January 2023 Large Die Kit, I die cut various flowers, leaves, berries and springs from different Spellbinder color cardstocks.  I also used some left-over card backgrounds made with Lindy’s Gang Magical Powders.
2. For some shimmer, I brushed some Ranger’s Perfect Pearl powder with very little water on all the flowers and berries. I wish you could see the shine in person. Pictures don’t do the shimmer justice.
3. With the Small Die Kit, I die cut the ampersand with Spellbinder brushed gold cardstock. 
4. The Small Die Kit comes with “Happy Birthday” and “Many More” dies.  I also die cut them in brushed gold cardstock.  Next, I die cut an extra shadow layer with white cardstock for the words to show up along with giving them the necessary dimension.  These sentiments are gorgeous.

5. Next, I embossed a 3.25”x 8.25” purple cardstock with Spellbinder’s Leafy 3D embossing folder as the background panel.  For added interest, I splattered with Gansai Tambi gold watercolor and Altenew’s Lavender Fields metallic shimmer spray.

6. I adhered all the elements to the panel along with the “Happy Birthday” sentiment before attaching it to a brush gold matte layer. Next, with some foam tape, I attached the entire panel to a slimline heavy weight card base. 

7. To make the inside of the card special, I decorated it with the gold ampersand along with some left-over flowers, leaves and springs.  I also added a small butterfly and the “Many More” sentiment.

8. I finished the card by adhering some gems on the flowers.

I love how the card turned out.  Hope my friend will like it just as much.  Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting! Lillian
