Card a month is a monthly video series on my blog (retired). Once a month, usually on the 2nd or 3rd Friday I share a new handmade card along with a video tutorial. I hope you’ll enjoy!
I’m back with another card using some of my favorite fancy Spellbinders dies. This time I played with Bella Rose papers from First Edition and some textured cardstock from American Crafts.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
Just like always, I’m sharing a video tutorial to show you how this card made and I also talk a bit about the “special effects” of some negative die cut pieces that Spellbinders dies produce. Enjoy my video here or on my Youtube channel.

CARD DETAILS
I used quite a few different dies for my project and I mixed and matched them, this is what I love about Spellbinders – most of their designs work so well together! I started by using the Gold Corner One set (unfortunately, this set has been discontinued), it works beautifully for adding finishing touches to the corner of any card.
I also used Opulent Ovals dies – this set is among my favorites because it not only created beautiful positive die cuts, but also adds nice details to the negative space and I am using that today to add additional detail to my paper.
I also used a stunning Bracket Border die, this is one of the Card Creator border sets and I love it (there are quite a few sets similar to this one in the Card Creator collection – all very beautiful). Lastly, Ribbon Banners was used for the sentiment. I stamped With Love (this is from Stampendous) and used ClearSnap Suede Dye Ink.
No fancy Spellbinders card of mine is ever complete without some stitching and a few pearls and you can see a close-up of both on the photo below.

This is a gorgeous card, I love all the layering and the paper is wonderful, I’ll have to try and find something like it. Your work is great.
Yana, your card is so beautiful! It really helps to see how to use these Spellbinders tools to create keepsakes. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
Exquisite, Yana – very romantique 🙂

This card is stunning! I love all the details and the stitching and how you inlayed all the layers.
