Hello, cardmaking friends—happy Monday and welcome back! Today I’m sharing a Spellbinders August Clubs Roundup, featuring my final three cards of the month: the Stencil Club, the BetterPress Club, and the Stitched Club. It’s truly been a fabulous month of undersea adventures with the August kits, and these last three projects continue that playful ocean-inspired theme.

Spellbinders August Clubs RoundUp – Stencil of the Month.
Begin with the 5-piece stacking stencil set to create the vibrant underwater background for your die-cut embellishments. I blended Distress Oxide Inks in Wilted Violet, Mowed Lawn, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon for a layered ocean effect. A #10 Sakura Gelly Roll Pen adds crisp white accents and highlights.
Next, die-cut the two-tone teal goldfish using the Splash Tails Large Die of the Month Kit. Attach it with foam squares to give the fish dimension and movement.
To finish, use the Paper Splashes Clear Stamp and Die Set to white heat-emboss a sentiment on a scrap of purple cardstock, then add it to the card for a bold finishing touch.

Spellbinders August Clubs RoundUp – BetterPress of the Month.
Start by creating a watercolor panel 4″ x 5-1/4″. Lay it on a protected surface and spritz it with water before adding Tim Travel Teal and Lucky Shamrock Green Lindy’s magical powders to it. Pick the paper up and roll it around to move the pigment, add more water to help blend it. Set it aside to dry.
Next, warm up the Glimmer Hot Foil machine. Add the Fish Parade BetterPress Plate to the machine, and a sentiment under it. Cover it with white foil and then your water colored card front. Glimmer foil the piece.
Then, attach it to a top folding A2 sized white card base.

Spellbinders August Clubs RoundUp – Stitched Die of the Month
tart by die-cutting all the boat pieces and stitching them with DMC #964 teal thread. Assemble the boat with glue, then add the mast and festive flags.
Next, use the scalloped edge die to cut waves from three shades of cardstock: Waterfall, Teal Topaz, and Oceanside. Die-cut the background with the Essential Arches set, trimming the sides of the three wave pieces to fit.
Layer and glue the waves together, leaving an opening between the top two layers so the stitched boat can be tucked inside for added dimension.
Finish the design with a coordinating die-cut sentiment from the set for the perfect nautical touch.
That wraps up my club kit projects for this month! I hope you’ve enjoyed the cards and feel inspired to create your own versions.
