Spellbinders February 2025 Small Die of the Month

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing bold colorful flower card. I used the February Small Die of the Month with the Perfect Touch Arches die set.
You can check out all the February clubs HERE. Scroll down for a full list of supplies.

Club subscription info:  
The new subscription sign up window is from the 6th to the 27th.  After existing club members subscriptions have been processed, any inventory remaining will be available for new subscriptions. Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 5th of each month, which means existing Club Members will be able to cancel subscriptions or make edits to payment or shipping info up until the 4th of each month.
SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH
 
This month's Small Die of the Month. The set is called Step Into Spring and features "ruby slipper" inspired shoes, legs with the options of decorative socks and some flowers. I chose to use the flowers by themselves, but if you're looking for inspiration using the shoes, there are some lovely examples on their website!
 The bold pink colors I used are from the new Colorwheel Cardstock collection in Orchid, Mulberry, Violet (Mulberry and Orchid are sold out on Spellbinders, but are in stock with Scrapbookcom). This trio of pinks is so pretty I just HAD to use them. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. 😂

Spellbinders Just Sayin Collection -3 card designs

 Hi crafty friends! Spellbinders launched a new super fun and playful collection this month called Just Sayin' by Kelly Bangs. 😍
This collection has both 12x12 and 6x6 paper pads, a die set, embossing folder, ephemera and more!
I have 3 cards to share today, be sure to scroll down for a complete supplies list.
 First up is a simple card using the Speech Bubbles die set and the Just Sayin' 6x6 paper pad. I layered the dies and used the frame outline, I accented each frame with a piece of the Just Sayin' Die Cuts with a gem in the center and a sentiment from the coordinating Speech Bubbles Sentiment stamp set.
My second card is a super CAS Hello card using the Speech Bubbles die set and the Just Sayin' 6x6 paper pad. I die cut the bubbles from pattern paper and cardstock. I kept it super simple with a few embellishments and a single sentiment.
My third card is kind of a hodge podge. I did a little stitching (yes, my sewing machine is still out), used a single circle die cut as grounding for a few pieces of ephemera from the Just Sayin' Die Cuts pack. And lastly added a few gems for some sparkle.

Just a Note Mini Slimline Flower Card

 Hi crafty friends! I have a pretty mini slimline card to share today.
Look at these fun flowers! They are from the Nordic Flower Bunch die set and all the flowers are in one die which makes die cutting SUPER easy! One cutting pass with each color and you have more than enough to play around with. I also want too mention the reasonable prices of Poppystamps, this die set is only $11.00! 💖
  If you want to see more details, head over to the Poppystamps blog!

Spellbinders Colorwheel Cardstock collection

 Hi crafty friends! I'm not gonna lie I am obsessed with cardstock. I don't use that term lightly. I own every color of cardstock from *multiple* companies (Stampin' Up, Concord and 9th, Gina K, and more). So when Spellbinders launched the Colorwheel Cardstock collection, I said "SAY LESS, I'M IN!"
 
This collection has 48 colors of cardstock! Some of the 48 are older favorites that carried over (we see you FERN and TEAL TOPAZ), but the majority are new!
This is all the colors swatched and cut out with the Color Swatch Petal die set. This die set has 3 pieces and coordinates with the Color Swatch Names stamp set. This stamp set is not necessary, you could hand write the names if you want. And if I decide to swatch all my other companies, I will be writing the names in.
The other die set in the collection is the Color Swatch Wheel die set which creates pretty color combinations. The wheel has 6 petals, which can be modified or combined to make a partial or full circle. I made my color combinations from my beloved color cube. To get the 5 colors, I cut the 6th one off.
 
OK here are my thoughts on the new colors:
Sadly, the 11x8.5 Assortment bundle which is 5 sheets of EVERY color is sold out. So, since I can't purchase that, I made a top 10 Must Have list of new colors. I am partial to lighter shades, so you will see a lot of those in my list. Here they are in no particular order.
 
Top 10 Must Have Colors (scroll down to the see the colors):
I really love that they made a lot of the color selections in 3 shades. It make's so easy to layer and coordinate. My absolute favorite 3 color hues are Orchid, Mulberry and Violet.
I don't have any insider information, but I suspect Spellbinders will be adding new colors to this collection each year (or more frequently?). As there are a few key colors missing, like a good Sage, a Rose and there are some gaps in the greens.
I'm curious, do you have a favorite? Will you be ordering any new colors?
