Spellbinders- BPOM Aug 2025

On By islandyu

Hello, crafty friends!

I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a project I created using the incredible Spellbinders BetterPress Club August 2025 collection. This month’s Club kits are filled with charming ocean-themed goodies, and I couldn’t wait to dive in and create a card that truly makes a splash!

My goal was to create a dimensional card that captures the feeling of looking into a vibrant underwater world. I achieved this by using the fantastic Underwater Tunnel Die, which creates multiple layers and a fun folding design. The result is a card that is not only beautiful but also has a lovely interactive element.

 

Let’s take a closer look at the details and how this card came together.

Products Used

  1. BetterPress Press Club Aug 25 (Fish Parade)

  2.  Underwater Tunnel Die

  3. Ink: Hero Arts Ombre Tide Pool to Navy ink

  4. Foil: Moondust Hot Foil

Cardstock:

  1. Teal Topaz Cardstock (top layer)
  2. Oceanside Cardstock (middle layer)
  3. Silver Mirror Cardstock (Anchor)

  4. Other: White gel pen, Pearl Dots

Step-by-Step Process 

  • Prepare the Layers: Die-cut three separate card panels using the Underwater Tunnel Die.

  • Create the Background: Use the BetterPress Press Plate from the August 2025  to press the fish pattern onto the bottom panel with Hero Arts Ombre Tide Pool to Navy ink.

  • Die-cut Elements: Die-cut the seaweed and coral pieces from cardstock using the Underwater Tunnel Die. Die-cut the anchor and any other decorative elements you wish to add.

Hot Foil the Sentiment: Using the Moondust Hot Foil and the corresponding die, hot-foil and die-cut the sentiment from the Better Press Club Aug. 2025.

  • Assemble the Card:

    • Begin by adhering the pressed background layer to the inside of your card base.

    • Next, attach the middle layer (Oceanside Cardstock) to the card base, making sure to fold the side tabs.

    • Tuck and adhere the seaweed and coral pieces between the layers for a dimensional effect.

    • Finally, attach the top layer (Teal Topaz Cardstock), again folding the tabs, to complete the tunnel effect.

  • Add Finishing Touches:

    • Adhere the sentiment and anchor to the front of the card.

    • Die-cut the anchor with the silver mirror cardstock, attach it to the top layer.

    • Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the seaweed for a more realistic look.

    • Use a blending brush and a dark blue ink to lightly blend the corners of the top layer to add a cohesive, oceanic feel.

    • Glue small pearl dots onto the fish in the background to add a pearlescent shine.

This card was such a joy to create! I love the outcome and how all the elements, from the BetterPress background to the layered tunnel effect, work together to create a stunning scene. The Spellbinders BetterPress Club Kits never disappoint, and the August kit is no exception to that. I hope this project inspires you to try your hand at creating a dimensional card. It’s so much easier than it looks!
