Spellbinders August Small Die and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month

The August Club Kits are out now and they are full of fun Halloween images! I already shared one of the Bonus All Club Crate diesets on a card the other day, you can see it by clicking HERE and the Stitching Die of the Month, you can see that HERE.

Today I used the Small Die of the Month and the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month. There are a few more pieces from the Small Dieset that I didn't use, I'm always surprised at how much is included in the "Small" set, especially for the low club price of $17.50! If you buy it outside of the club in the future, I think the price goes up almost $10 to $27. It's so worth it to join the club, buy the kit and decide later if you'd like to cancel future kits.

The 3D Embossing Folder has 2 patterns on it, the spider web I used for my card and the other half which looks like stitching (think mummy). Both make a great background. The 1/2 pattern fits a piece of A2 sized cardstock (4.25"x5.5"). So it really is like getting a 2 for 1.

I used navy cardstock for my background, embossed it and then using Silver Luster Wax, I lightly applied it to the raised areas with my finger. It only takes a small amount to cover the card. I love the way it looks. Luster Wax comes in a bunch of colors, I linked it below in my supply list.

Click on this video to see the wobbly lab vials. LOL, I bought a bunch of wobblers so I'll be putting them on a ton of cards.


For the lab vials, I cut the "liquid" from some alcohol inked Yupo paper scraps I had. I love using alcohol inked paper for drink diecuts too. You could also used patterned paper or inked cardstock that resembles marble/tiedye.

I used silver metallic glitter cardstock for the bats and layered them over the same diecuts but cut from black cardstock for a shadow effect. The candles were diecut but I didn't use the layering dies for faces or flames. I just used markers and colored in the flames, and drew in the melting wax with a beige marker and Antique Linen Distress ink.

That's it for today! More Halloween to come!

August 2026 Stitching Die of the Month Frank-n-Stitch

The August Stitching Die of the Month is Frank-n-Stitch. It's a mummy, perfect for stitching. As always, you can stitch or not, your choice. There is an insert for each die that can be stitched, so if you decide to skip it, just don't include the 2nd die. 

You can use these dies on an A2 card front, they fit perfectly, but I decided to make a tag. I diecut the rounded tag from the Torn Edges CardLab dieset. I had an already inked piece of cardstock in my stash, this one is green.

I thought it'd be cute to stitch the bandages, there are 3 bandage dies but I made 4 strips. I layered some gauzy ribbon type fabric I've had in my stash for years. it has unfinished edges so I pulled it a bit and frayed it. I glued it to my tag in a few areas, leaving an area plain for the mouth.


After I stitched the diecuts, I placed inked the edges with brown ink and glued them on top of the fabric. They were longer than the width of my tag so I wrapped them around the back and glued and taped them to the back. This made them a bit raised on the front which looks good around the mouth.


There are eye dies but I decided to use the googly eyes from Spellbinders, they were leftover from the Chattering Mouth card. The eyebrows and cheeks are cut from scrap paper. The ribbon is orange glitter ribbon I've had for 20 years that I used when my daughter was in Preschool for a Halloween project! 

After I was done, I went to the store and bought a bag of candy corn. I attached the tag to the bag and thought it'd be funny to make some candy corn for inside the mouth. You can use any small triangles, I had the Bonus Monster Face on my desk, there are "teeth" triangles so I cut a few of those and colored them with markers.
