Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have a fun gnome themed Arch Accordion card to share with you. This card uses products from Spellbinders March 2024 Club Kits and two of their Arch die sets. I have been wanting to make this style of card for sometime, so am happy that i finally got around to making one.

For the arch shapes I used Spellbinders Essential Arches for the base and inner arches. I used the Colorblock Accent Arches to add the layer the creates the fun pattern around the edges. To join the arches I cut 2 inches panels that measured approx 3 inches in height. I scored at 1 inch and then glued these to the bottom front of the arches that needed to be joined. Adding the tabs to the front means they are hidden when you add your layers on top.

To decorate my panels I used the Glimmer of the month from March 2024 ... Sketched Lines. I used gold glimmer foil to add the lines to the white arches and also to create the red sentiments at the bottom of each arch.

The gnomes are from the Stamp of the month ... Storytime Gnomes. I also used one of the sentiments from this stamp set for the sentiment on the left panel. I used some older Whimsy Stamps Speech Bubbles dies to add the stamped sentiments in, doing a little of creative partial die cutting to make the dies fit the sentiments. The other two sentiments are from an older book themed Mama Elephant stamp set from my stash.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card using products from Spellbinders March 2024 Club Kits.

For the blue background panel I used the Checkered Scallops Embossing Folder, which was the embossing folder for that month.

I used the books from the Large Die of the Month ... Classic Tales. The Owl is from the Small Die ... Wise Owl.

For the sentiment I gold glimmered the sentiments from the Glimmer of the month ... Sketched Lines.

To finish off the card I added some gems.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two more fun Oval shaped Christmas cards using products from Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas Collection.

For both my cards I used the Essential Arches & Color Block Arches die sets to create the oval shaped card bases.

To decorate the card above I used the Penguin die set using the body from the Bear die set. I added the cute glasses/spectacles also included I the die set. The present is a sticker.

All the sentiments used on these cards are from the Spectacular Holiday Sentiments stamp/die set.

For my second card, I used the Deer die set again with the Bear die set for the body.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two Arch shaped Christmas cards I created recently using products from the Spectacular Collection from Spellbinders. 

For my cards today I used the Spectacular Christmas Bear die set to create a brown bear for the card above. I also created one in white to create a polar bear. The die set comes with a couple of options to add glasses/spectacles to the images.

I used the Essential Arches & Color Block Accent Arches die sets to create the arch shapes. 

For all the sentiments on these cards I used the coordinating sentiment stamp set. I had been looking for the sentiment set as where I purchased the dies didn’t have the sentiments. Well I finally ordered them and then Australia Post delivered to the wrong address … arghhh! Fortunately when I contacted them, my husband recognised the description of the photo showing delivery so after a week extra waiting my stamps finally showed up.

Here is my polar bear version of the card. Instead of adding the cupcake to this one I used the cute snowman included in the July 2026 All Clubs Crate bonus die set.
