Spellbinders April 2024 Large Die of the Month - Pins and Needles Jar Birthday Card

Good morning I hope you are keeping safe and well on this rainy wet Friday morning.

I have a sewing themed birthday card to share today that I created for my Sister-in-law using dies from the Spellbinders April 2024 club kits.  She loves sewing so this kit was perfect.


I have used for this card:


With this set you get the dies to cut the jar, lid and pincushion and also the dies to cut all of the sewing accessories that are inside the jar.

I cut the jar three times.  On the base layer I ink-blended lightly with some Tumbled Glass Distress ink and glued down all of the assembled sewing elements. 

 The other two jars I fussy cut an aperture and layered a piece of acetate between them and then glued that onto top of the base jar.  I was tempted to add a few shaker bits but I decided not to and left it so you could see the various sewing elements glued inside to the base layer of the jar.

The background is a piece of black card embossed with the Spellbinders Monoline Stars Embossing Folder.

Crafty Calendar June Challenge - Birthday Mouse from RAM Stamps card

Good morning I hope you are keeping safe and well.  Here in the UK I'm waiting for summer to arrive.  I had a weeks holiday in May and I was lucky that the weather was great but since then it has been cold and wet, I nearly succumbed to putting the central heating on but managed to resist.

It's the first Saturday in June so we have a new monthly challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar

The theme this month is a project 
FOR A CHILD.


For my card I have used:
Birthday Mouse from RAM Stamps (Rachelle Anne Miller) coloured with copics.
Cut out using one of the dies from the Spellbinders notched corner frame nesting die set.
Glossy accents on the balloons.
The background is the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Flower Pattern (GLP-092)  hot foiled in gold onto pink card
