Nutcracker Ballet Christmas Cards with Spellbinders


Who is working on their Christmas cards?  I try to work on them all year.  It's fun to pull out Christmas goodies from time to time throughout the year and make a few things, but I'm just now starting to do a big push.  I made these quick and easy cards using the Nutcracker Ballet Bundle from Spellbinders.  Bundles like this are so good when you need quick cards, because everything matches.  All you need to do is piece things together.  Head on over and check out the bundle!

Athletic Apparel from Spellbinders


Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a few small cards I made using the new Spellbinders Athletic Apparel and the Jersey Numbers.  I made these for my nephews that I got a chance to visit last week.  They live on the opposite coast, so I don't get to see them often.  Knowing that I was headed for a visit, I made these cards specifically for them!  Their high school football team is undefeated, so it was even more special to make these for them.  Not only does the new release have these dies, but here are also sentiments to match, and you can make these jerseys for any sports team.  The customization is fabulous!

3 New Club Kits from Spellbinders for September 2023

 


Hello, and welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a few new projects that use a few of the new Kits from Spellbinders.  There are so many kits to choose from, and many of them coordinate beautifully with each other.  I'm going to share the Small Die of the Month, the Glimmer Hot Foiling Kit of the Month, and the Embossing Folder of the Month.

This first card uses the Small Die of the Month as well as the Embossing Folder of the Month.  I absolutely love the boots and the many different elements that can either be put in the boots or used separately.  I chose to make my boots look like an American soldiers boots.  This card would be great to send to a deployed soldier or even to family of a deployed soldier.


My next card uses the Glimmer Hot Foiling Kit of the Month, and I paired it up with some black foil on some textured dark cardstock.  By doing this, I'm able to add color very easily with my Prismacolor Pencils.  I finished it off with some gold splatter (of course)


My final card uses both the Glimmer Hot Foiling Kit and the Embossing Folder of the Month.  I used a blush foil and colored my images with OLO markers.  This card is a unique gatefold, A2 card.  I love making cards that are a bit unique like this and the die cut that comes with the Glimmer Hot Foiling Kit makes it super easy to do that.


I do have a video to share that shows the dies from the Small Die of the Month, the coloring of the Prismacolor Pencil card, and the assembly of the last card.  You can watch that here or over on my YouTube Channel.


I hope this inspires you to get a little inky!  Thanks for stopping by!

September 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit by Spellbinders

 


Hello friends, and welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a few cards I made using the new Spellbinders September 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit!  The title says it all when it comes to these kits, because they are geared toward being able to make cards quickly, but are also perfect if you are new to card making.

My first card gives off such Fall vibes, and I am loving it!  I paired up some patterned paper with some trees and houses from the die cut shapes, then topped it off with some chipboard stickers for the sentiments.


My next card is a sweet little scene.  I knew I had to use the die cut of the girl walking her dog in the rain, because it's just so sweet. Once again, I finished it off with some of those chipboard stickers for the sentiments.


My third card was centered around the fun sentiment on one of the chipboard stickers that reads, 'SO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR'.  I grabbed a bunch of the ephemera to encompass just a few things that I'm grateful for.


My final card for the day uses some ephemera, the puffy stickers, and the black sequin embellishments.  I love the big puffy sentiments and how they can take up some great space.


And that's a wrap on this kit!  I still have a TON more elements in order to make a TON more cards if I want.  Imagine the possibilities!  If you'd like to get your hands on the September 2023 Quick and Easy Card Kit, or check out the other great Monthly Kits that are available through Spellbinders, head on over to the store.
