Hello crafters! Today I have several cards to share featuring the Spellbinders June 2020 Club Kits. Spellbinders has 5 different Clubs to choose from at the moment, and I’ll show you inspiration using products from 4 of these clubs – the Card Kit of the Month, the Small Die of the Month, the Large Die of the Month and the Hot Foil Glimmer Kit of the Month. All of these Clubs are available as stand-alone subscriptions, but if you’d like to join all 4 and save on the cost of the Clubs and also save on shipping if you are located outside the USA, there’s a Glimmer Groupie Club that includes all 4 of those subscriptions.

CARD KIT
I’m going to start with the Card Kit of the Month. I hardly ever share projects made with the Spellbinders Card Kits, but only because I am not of a card kit person, I prefer separate dies or stamps like in the other Spellbinders Clubs, the kit this month, however, has caught my eye because of the amazing flower dies included in this kit.
Each flower is designed so that there are several layers to it and the layers can be mixed and matched, giving you more options as to how your flowers and layers can be combined and assembled. Truly, a very versatile set for making flowers for your projects.
My first card features a die-cut floral pattern. My goal was to make a die-cut floral pattern for this card and so I arranged the flowers starting with the 3 largest flowers. Next, I added my smaller flowers and than started adding the leaves and berry branches to build my background. I love this process – using individual pieces to make one custom pattern and I never get tired of doing this.
You can have a variety of looks by arranging your flowers differently, using different colors of cardstock for the flowers and leaves, and even using different, nonwhite cardstock colors for your background. The colors of cardstock I used for my die cutting all come from the card kit.
I foiled a panel of white cardstock using Spellbinders Essential Glimmer Rectangle plate and cut it out using a coordinating rectangle die. Next, I used foam adhesive and glue and adhered die cuts to create a pattern. Having adhered everything I used my scissors and cut the excess pieces off. I foam mounted this panel onto an A2 white card base from my kit and I added a foiled sentiment that reads “Happiest of Birthdays” made using Spellbinders More Sentiments Glimmer Hot foil Plate. The foiling on the sentiment works really well together with the gold mirror cardstock I used for my die cutting here.
CARD KIT + GLIMMER KIT
I had some leftover flowers from all of that die-cutting and so I used them to make another card. I first foiled a frame using the Geometric Glimmer Hot Foil plate on kraft cardstock. Next, I foiled a gorgeous sentiment that reads Happy Birthday and Many more and comes from June Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month.
I’ve adhered die cut flowers to my panel using a mix of glue and foam adhesive squares; I added florals in the opposite corners of the frame. My sentiment was intentionally foiled a bit off to the right to allow for a bit heavier flower placement on the left.
CARD KIT + SMALL DIE
The next card shows the use of floral dies from both the Card Kit of the Month and the Small Die of the Month. I used various shades of blue along with lots of gold and added the flowers to a black background for a very contrasting look.
The Small Die of the Month includes more gorgeous flowers and even a hand die to create a die-cut hand that is holding a bouquet or just a single flower. The flower die is expertly done and looks very delicate and feminine on the card. You will need to look for some skin tone cardstock in your stash to die cut the hand from, I used FSJ Peaches and Cream cardstock for the card idea shared below. You can also die-cut it from white cardstock and use a coloring medium to color it the desired skin tone.
SMALL DIE + GLIMMER KIT
I did a very simple card with the Small Die of the Month – I once again foiled a sentiment using the Glimmer Kit of the Month for June, those gorgeous sentiments, I die cut the panel using Essential Rectangle die and insert and foam mounted my panel onto A2 white card base. Next, I went with various shades of purple and yellow and die cut several pretty flowers. I embellished the card using Purple jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.
Here’s another card made using these dies and same color combo, I just used a different flower arrangement and different foiled sentiment in the center.
LARGE DIE + GLIMMER KIT
I also want to share a quick look at the Large Die of the Month for June. This includes 2 stunning geometric frames, similar to that foiled frame I showcased earlier as well as some beautiful greenery. I made some quick abstract backgrounds using ink pads, the technique I teach in the Spring Card Camp 2 from Online Card Classes and I foiled a birthday sentiment on this panel. Next, I foam mounted the panel to A2 white card base, added a square frame, I cut it from Rose Gold mirror cardstock from Tonic Studios to match the foiling on the panel – I used rose gold foil to foil the sentiment.
The 2nd card made using this kit was created similarly, I made a dark blue abstract background, I foiled sentiment and I added 2 oval frames cut from gold mirror cardstock.
Then you just add the beautiful die-cut greenery, add some flowers if you like, and embellish the cards with gems, jewels or sequins – whichever you prefer.

Fantastic! I mean both the Kit offerings this month and your showcase! The cards are simply stunning. I am going to get ready for my kits arrival by foiling some accents on backgrounds made during the Spring Card Camp 2. I love how your cards use glimmering to raise the “wow” factor and make your cards look so professional.
Love this type of post! It has made me decide to try some of the memberships! Beautiful ideas!
I really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more like this.
Oh, my gosh – Yana, these are extraordinary. I”, so happy to see more of your “ink swiped” backgrounds too, I’ve been attempting to use the Glimmer System… it’s coming along. I’ll keep at it. Thank you, for your encouragement, and all of your inspiration. 🙂
Ah the glimmer groupie, it makes me look and much more LOL For me it’s just the perfect assortment! And these colors and this design on your cards, are we talking about it? They are perfect too! I love Yana! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Yana! I wanted you to know that I joined the Small Die Kit of the month, mostly because of you! I haven’t decided if I will make the leap to the Glimmer Foil yet but it does seem I’m re-thinking my card making. While I love stamping, it does seem that many designers have gotten into other mediums and I just prefer ink. Recently I’ve bought several stand alone dies from different companies like Spellbinders so we’ll see where this takes me. Thank you for sharing your Gorgeous designs, you’re truly amazing!
