It's time to check out the Large Die of the Month for November 2021 from Spellbinders. Once I again, I am blown away by how gorgeous this die set is! And the versatility. Several of the dies in this set can be used on any card, not just for Christmas. This die set is called Christmas Foliage Strips & Borders. There are 13 dies in this set, four of which are slimline border dies.
First, let's take a look at the card and gift tag I made with this new die set.
Look at the foliage, so very pretty. For these projects I went for a vintage Christmas vibe. You can see the backgrounds created and this die set in action in the video below.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also watch it over on my YouTube channel.
I had so much fun making the backgrounds for these projects. First I did some ink blending with Distress Oxide ink; Black Soot for the bottom and Rustic Wilderness for the top. The next step was splatter. I used water, Distress Mica Sprays, and distress oxide ink. I just love how they turned out.
But the star of this show is all the amazing die cuts. You can see all the foliage dies here, layered on top of the border die. To add a bit of interest to my die cut foliage I used a W4 or W6 marker to add shading and then spritzed the pieces with Distress Mica Spray stain.
Once all the pieces were mounted to the card I added more splatter, this time with white acrylic paint for a snowy effect.
Then it was time to embellish. I used some gold gems, glaze and Black Licorice Sparkle ribbon.
After making this card I has several die cut foliage pieces left over and so I used them to make a gift tag.
Do you see the sentiments I used on today's projects? They were stamped and embossed using the Clear Stamp of the Month for November, also from Spellbinders. I love that they coordinate the products in the different club kits to work together. This month's set is called Around the Holidays and now you can get a die set to coordinate with it!
I used all the same techniques for this tag as I did on the card, but have to point out that lacy trim round the bottom of the tag. That is one of the slimline border dies from this months die set, but it can also be used on other sized cards/projects as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share these projects with you.
