Spellbinders Small Die of the Month for March 2023

 

Hello there, and welcome back to my blog!  I wanted to share a photo of the card I made using the Small Die of the Month from Spellbinders.  This die set has so many elements to it, that it's hard to believe it's considered a small die set.  I have a video where I share how to piece this together that you can watch here or over on my YouTube Channel.

Spellbinders March 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit

 

Hello there, and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a few cards that I made using the Spellbinders March 2023 Quick & Easy Card Club.  If you've never used one of their card kits before, they are always super packed with lots of elements and ephemera to be able to make loads of cards.

My first card uses lots of the ephemera as well as a card panel and some of the patterned paper.  I did pop the bouquet of flowers up using the foam squares that always come in a kit.

My second card focused on the chipboard stickers from the kit.  I love that bee hive and the darling little bees.  Of course I did use plenty of ephemera as well the sequins from the kit.

My third card uses not only some ephemera but also some puffy stickers.  I love the dimension that the puffy stickers provide.

My fourth card uses some of the critter ephemera that I popped up using the foam squares. I love that bright patterned paper that I paired with them.

My final card might be my favorite.  The patterned paper with the words on it combined with those fun bees just makes me smile. . .sort of like the sentiment says, lol.

If you'd like to see what comes in the kit, you can check out the unboxing video I have.  You can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel.

If you're interested in purchasing this kit you can get it HERE.  There isn't an add-on die for this month, but these kits are always packed with plenty to keep you busy making cards.  Thanks for stopping by!

Spellbinders February 2023 Die of the Month

 

I thoroughly enjoyed putting together each of these pieces from the Spellbinders Die of the Month for February 2023.  On this card I used all of the pieces (as well as the Embossing Folder of the Month), but imagine how cool each piece is with multiples of itself.  I'll be sharing just such a card in the future, but for now I have this one and I do have a video to share that you can watch here or over on my YouTube Channel.

Spellbinders Quick & Easy Card Kit for February 2023

  Due to weather and technological issues, I don't have a video to share showing me making the cards for the Spellbinders February 2023 Card Kit.  For that reason, I thought I would just share what I made!

My first card uses just a couple of pieces of the ephemera that matched so perfectly with that lemon patterned paper.  I love lemons on cards, so I HAD to make this for my first one.  The lemon itself is popped up using a foam square from the kit, and the sentiment is from the sticker pack.

My second card pops up 3 different flower ephemera using the foam squares, and I even popped up the 'happy birthday' sticker using foam squares as well.  Those darling flat backed sequins from the kit were the perfect touch.

My third card is more of a basic card sketch, but I love the simplicity of it.  The sentiment sticker was the perfect touch to make this card a good 'anytime' card.

My fourth card is another 'happy birthday' card, and it uses chipboard stickers.  The butterflies were from the ephemera pack and are glued only in the center of each butterfly.

My final card uses the Spring Tea Etched Die add-on.  Isn't that bunny tea cup the cutest?

I do have a video of the unboxing if you'd like to see what comes in this kit.  You can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel.

Spellbinders January 2023 Small Die of the Month

 

Hey friends!  Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using the January 2023 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month.  This set certainly doesn't seem small to me, and I absolutely LOVE the giant ampersand.  Pairing it up with sentiments that leave an impression on the cardstock is a super awesome touch too.  I also used the January 2023 Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month as well.  If you'd like to see how I made this you can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel.

Spellbinders January 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit

 

Hey crafty friends!  I'm back today to share some cards I made with the revamped card kit from Spellbinders called the Quick & Easy Card Kit.  I did an unboxing of the kit HERE if you'd like to see the contents.  For the most part, it's pretty much the same as before, but it won't have the stamp set and it won't have the die set as with previous kits, however, there is the option for an add-on die set if you'd like.  This kit seems geared more towards beginners, BUT has a lot to offer for those seasoned in card making as well.  Just like the title of the kit, you can make some very Quick & Easy cards with this kit.

Let me share with you 5 cards I made using this kit!  My first card uses the kit contents along with the Add-On die called Happy Plant.  The die set has lots of great leaves and a pot with the option to give that pot a face!

My second card uses lots of the ephemera with one of the chipboard stickers.

My third card uses a couple of the self-adhesive frames (which I LOVE) to showcase a couple of the plant ephemera.

The fourth card was so quick and easy, only using a card panel (which is new to the kits), a piece of patterned paper, some ephemera and a puffy sticker sentiment.

And my final card uses another one of those self-adhesive chipboard frames in the shape of a film strip. . .so cute!

Per usual, I have TONS left over to continue playing if I want.  If you'd like to see how I made these and hear my process, you can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel.

If you have any questions, reach out, but in the meantime I hope this inspires you to want to get crafty. You can find the Quick & Easy Card Kit from Spellbinders here and the Add-On Happy Plant Die here. Thanks for stopping by!

November 2022 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month by Spellbinders

Have you seen the November Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month from Spellbinders? It's this beautiful clock, that is surprisingly easy to put together (which is why there isn't a video of this card).  It can stand up on its own but still go flat to be mailed.  I love stuff like that!  

Be sure to check out the Spellbinders website for lots of great ideas using this die!

5 Cards 1 Kit Using the Spellbinders November 2022 Card Club Kit - Time Offline

 

Hello everyone!  I wanted to share the 5 cards that I made using the new November 2022 Card Club Kit from Spellbinders called Time Offline.  If you know me at all, you know that my family loves to go camping in our trailer.  We often times will go with my mom and my stepdad in their Class C Motorhome, which is why I made the card above the way I did.  I made it for my stepdad's birthday

The next card I made uses all of the different flowers from the ephemera pack from the kit.  I love those ephemera kits, because they are always jam packed with so many options.

The third card I made uses the little die set that came in the kit.  It includes the mushrooms, the flower, and some leaves, along with that great framed shape.  I love how this turned out!

For my fourth card, I used a bunch of the camping ephemera to make my own patterned paper.  When you arrange them on and off the page as I did, it gives the illusion that there is more going on outside of what you see.  The sentiment was one of the chipboard stickers.

My final card is another scene using the ephemera.  I popped up the cute little travel trailer on foam squares and stamped out the stars and the sentiment using the stamp set from the kit.  I know I'll be making cards from this kit over and over!

I do have a video that shows the first two cards.  It would have had the rest, but the camera stopped on me.  Either way, you can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Sealed By line from Spellbinders

 

There a lot of great new products that Spellbinders has come out with in their Sealed By line of stamps, dies, and Glimmer Plates.  They all coordinate beautifully with the new Wax Seal Starter Kit (which I just purchased and is on it's way to me now!). I have a few of the products, and I'm sharing what I've made, but I can't wait to combine these with the wax seals!  My first card uses the Glimmering Swag Glimmer Plate.  I combined it with some Fushia Flower Glimmer Foil.  The sentiment is from the All-Occasion Mailbox Greetings Glimmer Hot Foil Plate using some Moondust Glimmer Foil.  It also uses the new Sealed Twine die.

This second card uses that same Glimmering Swag Glimmer Plate, but this time with some Gold Glimmer Foil.  The Sealed Squiggles die is new and the sentiment comes from the Joyful Christmas Sentiments Glimmer plates.

This next card uses the Geometric Optical Background Glimmer Plate along with the Sealed Blooms dies.  All of the Glimmer Foil used was Black.  I love how shiny that Black is :D

My last example uses that same Glimmer Plate as above, but I paired it with the matching stencil called the Layered Geometric Optical Stencils, which comes with 4 stencils.

You can see how I made this card here or over on my YouTube channel.

Floral Stag with Spellbinders & Ranger

I'm loving the new Floral Stag die set that Spellbinders and Ranger just came out with by Simon Hurley Create!  Not only that, but they have several new stamps sets with matching dies!  These came to me last week, and I couldn't wait to get creative with them.  The one above uses not only the Floral Stag dies, but it also uses the Joyful Christmas Glimmer set, as well as the Holly Flourish embossing folder from Spellbinders.  It all looks so great on that 5x7 background, and the images were colored with OLO Markers.

This next card is an A2 card that uses the Floral Stag and the Joyful Christmas Glimmer set along with the Candy Stripes die set.  This time I decided to watercolor my die cuts using my Daniel Smith watercolors.  If you'd like to see how I did it, you can watch the video here or over on my YouTube channel.
