Spellbinders has revealed their club memberships for February, and I'm sharing my card featuring the Stamp & Die of the Month Club Kit. "Spring Smiles" is the name of this months set and it's absolutely adorable! I was so smitten, I also carried some of my details to the inside of my A2 sized card. Scroll down for creative details, with my supply list at the end.

I wanted to show you my photo below, before I assembled my card. My card panel was created by placing masking tape over the lower portion of my card, then stamping directly over the edge of the tape. One of the stamps included in this months set is a trio of blooms. I promptly chopped those blooms into 3 pieces. They'll be easy to stamp as a group next time, so no worries.
I did however, want to angle some of my blossoms, because sometimes I like to be a little extra, hehe. After stamping, I peeled off my tape and proceeded to color my images.
I also did some die cutting with my critter images and some of my blooms. This kit includes 8 dies to accommodate all the images in the stamp set.
I colored all my images with OLO Markers and Spellbinder offers OLO Marker sets on their site. If you're already a club member, you get 10% off other products on the Spellbinders site. If you wish to purchase individual markers, you can visit the OLO website, here.
Here are the colors I used:
Birds: OR1.3 Papaya, OR1.6 Orangutan, YO2.3 Buttercup, YO2.2 Pudding, RV0.1 Cotton Candy, RVO.2 Bubble Gum, YG2.5 Avocado
Blooms: OR1.3 Papaya, YO2.3 Buttercup, RV0.1 Cotton Candy, YG2.5 Avocado
Bunnies: RV0.1 Cotton Candy, RVO.2 Bubble Gum, C-G1 Cool Gray 1
I also used a white gel pen to dot the inside of each floral bloom, to highlight the dots on the bunny and bird bow ties and add more embellishment to my birds bodies.
Although the Quick & Easy Card Club Membership did not make a comeback this year, I did use my papers from an older Spellbinders card kit that I had in my stash. The August 2023 Quick & Easy ard kit, The Fun Life, includes some of my favorite papers and I'm so glad I still had some left. The brown trim, however, was from some scraps in my stash.
There are still some of The Fun Life kits available on the site and if you're a current member of any of the Spellbinders Clubs, you'll get an additional 10% discount.
I still had some floral die cuts that I didn't use on the front of my card, so I decided to create a little scene on the inside. I actually trimmed the floral bottoms to be flush with the curvy hillside that I trimmed with my scissors. It was easier to do this and adhere everything flat, with no bumps from the die cuts. You can always do simple stamping and then cover the bottoms with paper, but I wanted to use up my die cuts.
My sentiments were stamped with Catherine Pooler Ink in Midnight for the inside of my card, and Succulent for the outside. Succulent is actually not available yet to the public until Feb. 5th, tomorrow!
Check out all the Spellbinders Clubs, here. If die cutting is not your thing and you prefer to put your pennies elsewhere, you can opt to join the Stamp of the Month Club to receive the stamp set only.
Keep in mind, current club members will automatically receive these club selections. New subscribers can join starting Feb. 6th-27th. Packages will ship after the end of the month. It is possible this club kit will sell out fast, so don't wait too long to join, if you really want this months selection. You can cancel at any time, and re-join again at any time!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
Terri
