Spellbinders | August 2025 Clubs Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Spellbinders today to celebrate the August 2025 Club Kits with a fun blog hop. Each stop on the hop is sharing a different club. Mine is the Small Die of the Month Club Kit called "The Deep Blue Two". In case you missed it, I already shared one card using the kit here. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

For my card, I started off by die cutting the coral, seaweed and fish from the Spellbinders August 2025 Small Die of the Month Club Kit from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I used Orchid and Mulberry for the large coral, Lilac, Lavender and Fairy Tale for the tube pipe coral, and Peridot and Rainforest for the seaweed. 

For the fish, I used Lavender and Lilac for the small fish, cutting the base layer from Raven for the eyes. The two bigger fish were cut from Beeswax and Carrot, again with Raven for the eyes. 

For the scuba divers, I cut their faces and hands from Alabaster, the hair for the one on the left from Truffle, the hair for the one on the right from Acorn, their scuba wetsuits from Lilac and Raven, their flippers from Beeswax, and their oxygen tanks from Fog. For the masks I used layers of (bottom to top) Raven, Classic White, Seaside and Raven again. I used Anchor for the mouth part. 

I adhered all the layers together for the divers and sea life using Bearly Art Glue and set them aside while I worked on the card base. 

I took a 4.25" x 5.25" panel of Spellbinders Waterfall ColorWheel Cardstock and added ink blending at the bottom using Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks (Aqualicious & Teal Cave) using a Large Blending Brush. It was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base using tape runner adhesive. The coral was adhered first, followed by the seaweed. I adhered the fish using liquid glue and the divers using thin foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Spellbinders Typewriter Adventure Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Concord & 9th Dew Drops.
