July Spellbinders All-Club Crate Bonus!

It's almost 100 degrees here, so what is better than staying home and starting Christmas cards? It's Christmas in July and Spellbinders has a Christmas theme for their Club Kits!

You can learn more about the Spellbinders Clubs and the benefits of membership by clicking HERE.

Here is a quick video of the candy cane in action:

This month's All-Clubs Crate Bonus is this fun swinging candy cane that a penguin or a snowman can sit on. The other dieset bonus is a teddy bear that can also sit on the candy cane. The third bonus is a paper pack. You can see it below:

If you go to the Spellbinders store, the All Clubs Crate may show, "Sold Out". Last month, the All Clubs Crate sold out, so all the people who signed up for last month carryover to this month. They have a few days to decide if they'd like to quit/skip the month's kits. So, in a few days some may become available. I'd click the green box on the site that says "Email me when available". If there are any left after the current subscribers decide if they want the All Clubs Crate, then it will open to new subscribers on the 6th of July.

For my card, I used the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month for the background. It's a fun script with Christmas words.

To see how to make the candy cane swing go to the Spellbinders YouTube channel, click HERE. (There's a hole in the candy cane and you can use a pop dot to make it swing like a pendulum.)

Supplies are listed below with direct links to the stores that carry them. If you use my link to make a purchase, I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thank you for using my links, it really helps and encourages me to continue providing creative content.

Spellbinders Serenity Garden Dimensional Flowers

I am a dimensional flower fan but I'm the first to admit that unless I hand someone one of these cards, they are difficult to mail. Don't get me wrong, when I hand someone a card like these, people are amazed.

Today I'm using the Tassel Flower from the Spellbinders Serenity Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. The photo above shows all the cards I've made so far using the dies I have. There's also an embossing folder but I don't have that and it's gorgeous! You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.

I have a YouTube video here:

In the video I show how to put together this flower and how to attach it to a gift without taping it! I saw a gift wrapping video that showed how to wrap a gift with a pocket in front, perfect for a dimensional card. I also have a way to use some foam tape or fun foam so you can keep your card in place with ribbon without gluing ribbon to your card. It really looks great.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the April Press + Foil of the Month Plate, you can find that HERE.

I also share my favorite card, with the corrugated cardboard.

The key to dimensional flowers is a shaping tool. It's a ball stylus that you rub over the flowers and leaves which give them dimension. For the red white and blue card, I used Copic markers to color my flowers. For the orange flowers, I used colored cardstock. Either way, these flowers are so pretty.

Supplies are listed below with direct links to the stores that carry them (where they were in stock at the time of this writing). If you use my link to make a purchase, I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This really helps me continue providing information. Thank you.
