Spellbinders | November 2024 Stencil of the Month

 PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST 
 
A NEW month means NEW CLUB KITS over at Spellbinders! Today I'm sharing the NEW November 2024 Stencil of the Month Club Kit. If you are not already a subscriber of the Stencil of the Month Club, registration is NOW open and can be found HERE.
 
The NEW Stencil of the Month is called, Squared Away (SOM-NOV24). I love the geometric design and thought it would be fun to create a masculine birthday card with it. I paired it with the Dancin' Birthday Monster (S3-495) and a sentiment from the NEW Confetti Wishes Clear Stamp & Die of the Month (CDOM-NOV24).
 
For added fun I created an infinity shaker using one of the clear packaging from our kits.
 
Card Dimensions:
White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
Stenciled Panel/Infinity Shaker Pocket: 3 3/4" x 5"
Black Sentiment Strip: 3 1/4" x 5/8"

Steps to Create Card:
  • Create White A2 Top Fold Card Base measuring: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2").
  • Cut White A2 Panel measuring: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Use Squared Away Stencil of the Month (SOM-NOV24) with Sweet Corn, Sweet Mango, Jelly Bean Green, Blue Denim and Tranquil Teal ink. Die Cut panel using Precision Layering A2 A (S5-487) to measure: 3 3/4" x 5".
  • Create your Infinity Shaker Pocket by cutting a piece of packaging slightly larger that the A2 panel (it needs to be large enough so you can secure it on the back side with double stick tape. Next add a piece of double sided tape around all four sides close to the edge and wrap three of the edges securely to the tape. The fourth side (I prefer to leave the top for last) is where you will pour your shaker bits into (I used iridescent stars and clay confetti). Once you fill your shaker you will secure the final side. Secure to your card panel using double sided tape.
  • Die Cut Dancin' Birthday Monster (S3-495) with Turquoise Sea, Blue Denim, White, Black and Sweet Mango card stock. Assemble monster.
  • Die Cut Balloons using Birthday Bliss Die of the Month (DOM-NOV24) with White card stock. Add color to balloons using Blue Denim, Sweet Mango and Jelly Bean Green ink. Trim off bottom of the die where the strings are. Assemble Balloons.
  • Stamp and Emboss "Happy Birthday" sentiment using Confetti Wishes Clear Stamp & Die of the Month (CDOM-NOV24) on Black card stock with White Embossing Powder. Trim into a sentiment strip measuring: 3 1/4" x 5/8".
  • Assemble full card.
  • For embellishment I added White Highlights to the Balloons and Glaze 'n Glue to the black in his eyes.
