Hello everyone. Thank you for stopping by. It’s June 1st and time for Spellbinders latest Card Kit! This one is called, “Life is a Party.” It’s filled with bright papers, happy sentiments and darling images. I had so much fun creating with this beautifully coordinated kit!! My favorite item from the kit this time is the cutting dies set. They cut out beautiful flowers and leaves. (One die even cuts out the leaf veins! Love it!) Also the pattern paper this time is fabulous. I loved working with all the bright, summery colors. The kit this month hit it out of the park!
Hello and welcome! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! The May card kit for Spellbinders is here, and I created five card projects with it. This kit is called All the Little Things, and it’s filled with lots of darling little things.
I love all the fun elements in this kit, but I especially love the stamp set–it includes the cutest cat and butterfly images! I also had a lot of fun with the dies. You get coordinating dies for the butterflies from the stamp set! I also really had fun with the unusual frame dies. This is another great kit from Spellbinders!
Card #1: Lovely Floral Card
For this card I used a flower sprig and butterfly die cut shape as my focus. To help my flower die cut really pop, I framed it using the frame dies and metallic gold paper. The pattern paper also has metallic gold detailing, and it helped bring everything together.
Card #2: Oh Happy Day Cat Card
I love this little cat–his expression just makes me smile! I stamped him on a piece of white cardstock and colored in some gray shadows and pink ears and cheeks with two different Copic markers. I wanted him to be a white cat so I could use this darling floral pattern paper behind him. I also stamped out one of the butterflies onto pink card stock and added shadows with another Copic marker.
Card #3: Off-the-Beaten-Path Card
This card is mostly made up of die cut shapes. I loved the tree die cut shapes! First I adhered down this darling piece of scenic pattern paper onto my card base. I also die cut an oval out of the yellow pattern paper with a Spellbinders oval die. This oval helped to spotlight my die cut pieces as well as help differential them from the green background. To me this card has a very Italian Countryside feel to it.
Card #4: Flowers & Stripes Card
I love the blue striped pattern paper, and I wanted to pair it with more florals. I used another flower die cut shape and then I added a flower dimensional stick on top of it. I decided to stamp out my sentiment in between the blue stripes.
Card #5: A Card for Card Crafters
The envelope with the flower popping out is my focal piece on this card. I thought it went perfectly with the die cut shapes of the stamps, ink bottle and pencil. I used another piece of patter paper to stamp out my sentiment onto. I really like the look of stamping in between the lines on my last card, so I did it again on this card.
Hello everyone! It’s time for Spellbinders’ April card kit! The card kit is called Weekend Fun. It’s a very eclectic kit this time–the elements range from old-fashioned cameos to peaches, bees, and fizzy drinks. You can do so much with this card kit, and they provide you with card-bases, tape, anything you could possibly need to create many gorgeous cards. It’s an all-in-one kit–even envelopes are included!
Card #1: Beautiful Cameo Card
I chose to use the cutting dies first. I love cameos! Look how pretty this silhouette is, and the necklace cutting die just pushes it over the top–so darling! I used a piece of navy blue card stock and one of the floral pattern papers behind my silhouette–the navy paper really makes the silhouette pop! No coloring involved, just cutting dies and paper. The sentiment is from the Die Cut Shapes pack.
Card #2: Everything’s Peachy Card
I really love this bold pattern paper. The green card stock matched it perfectly, so I used two cutting dies to cut out a frame. I surrounded the peach sticker with tiny flower die cut, and I cut up an oval frame die cut to create the leaves for my two flowers. This card was super fast and fun to put together.
Card #3: Hey You Flower Bouquet Card
For this card I used a piece of coral pattern paper to cover my card base. I then added a triangle of purple pattern paper in the corner. I covered my seam with a strip of gold metallic paper. I added on two sticker, some sequins, and this card was done!
Card #4: Old-Fashioned Cameo Card
I wanted to create a cameo card with a very old-fashioned feel to it. This piece of pattern paper did the trick. I also used Spellbinders’ new Hemstitch Rectangle dies to cut out the pattern paper. I love how the pink card stock behind the pattern paper peeks through the stitching! This time for the silhouette, I used the pale pink card stock. I glued on two more die cuts behind it to add a touch of dimension. I love her gold choker necklace!
Card #5: Retro Dog Card
This dog die cut shape is my favorite of them all! Look at his cute little face! I used a very retro-looking piece of pattern paper behind him, and glued on lots of extra little die cut shapes. The sentiment is one of the chipboard sticker.
Card #6: Bee Happy Beehive Card
One of my favorite techniques is to stamp my images on pattern paper and color them in with colored pencils. I used the retro looking paper again for this card. It provided an excellent base color for my beehive and bees. The cutting dies from this kit include dies to cut out this bee as well as some hexagons–I love that! I was too involved in playing with these cute stamps, and I didn’t plan ahead as to where I would put my sentiment. I ended up stamping it on a piece of peach card stock and tucking it under my beehive.
Card #7: Beehive Celebrate like You’re the Queen Card
I love the color combinations on this card. Purple and yellow are complimentary colors, but add in a blue background and you’ve got something really special! I had fun playing with the stamp set again and die cutting the bee and the hexagons. I stamped the images onto a piece of the peach card stock and colored them in with colored pencils.
All of the pattern paper from this kit is exquisite! I particularly love this painterly looking pattern. I adhered it to my card base leaving an 1/8 of an inch boarder around the sides. Next I glued on my hugs chipboard sticker–make sure to use glue behind these because the adhesive on the back isn’t very strong. I put two of the same butterfly die cut shapes together with a little bit of foam tape to make is dimensional.
Card #9: Queen Card
For this card I took inspiration from the example page from the kit. I like how they used strips of paper down the side of their card, so I did that on my card. The crown on top of the silhouette’s head is a die cut shape, and I there is a piece of pattern paper that complimented it perfectly. I also cut out the silhouette with gold metallic card stock and staggered it behind the white silhouette to add some shine to the piece.
Card #10: Yay Card
I added lots of my left over strips of card stock on the front of my last card base. It really is a great design to used up these left-over pieces. I glued down the yay chipboard stickers, and then for some reason, I couldn’t stop adding element to this poor card–lol! I really like how it started but not how it ended up. This is one of those–at least I had fun–cards.
Hello! I hope you are all having a great weekend! I’m here for Spellbinders today. I get to show you their latest card kit, and today is the big release! I’m super excited about this kit because it’s all about spring and Easter! I’m so weary of winter, and creating with this kit made me feel like spring isn’t all that far away. Below is a peek at some of the goodies included in the kit.
I had so much fun crafting with this kit!! I created 10 cards; some are Easter cards, some are spring–there is a wide variety of materials in this kit. At the beginning of my video I show the unboxing of this kit.
You can subscribe to the this monthly kit, or if you’d prefer, you can purchase the add-on items separately. This month the add-on items are the Pad of Pattern Paper, the Die Cut Shapes, and the Gold Fleck Gemstones. Some of the cards I created use only these add-on items. Below you’ll see pictures of all my cards, my video, and links to all the supplies.
Card #1: Easter Bunny Card
Card #2: Spring-Time Butterflies Card (Created with only the Add-on Items.)
Card #3: Bunny Basket Card (Created with only the Add-on items.)
Hello! Welcome to my blog! I created 10 cards with Spellbinders card kit called Hey Foxy. As always, I had a ball playing with their kit. I enjoy working with them because I never know what my card is going to end up looking like. I always have a plan in my head when I start designing a card, but the contents of these kits are so eclectic that I end up with something I didn’t imagine. They are usually very fast cards to put together too. They don’t involve a lot of coloring, although I usually find a way to use one of my art mediums. Check out my process video below, and I’ve included links to most of the products I used.
Card #1: Stamped Pattern Paper Card
I stamped out my own pattern paper for this card using all the pretty stamps from the set included in the kit. I used a beautiful brown-toned gray ink called Stone. I then used some of the ephemera pieces on top of it.
Card #2: Easy Wreath Birthday Card
This was the fastest of the cards to put together. I used pattern paper and ephemera pieces. I also used a few gold sequins for a touch of shine. (I love the green striped paper!)
Card #3: Butterflies & Flowers Card
The focal point of this card is the oval in the center of the card. I surrounded it with ephemera pieces and backed it with pattern paper. The font of these stamps is very pretty!
Card #4: New Home Card
This is one of my favorite cards! For the sunshine I used an old die from my stash and cut it out with the gold metallic paper. The sentiment fit inside it perfectly. I had to use the house pattern paper and the house ephemera pieces together to create a congrats-on-your-new-home card.
Card #5: Stripes & Florals Card
Again, love the striped paper–it has craft stripes! I really need more of this paper. There is nothing better than flowers and stripes together.
Card #6: Foxy Polka Dot Card
I intended this to be a masculine card, but I couldn’t help adding the pink flowers and the cute little fox. I used another die from my stash to create the rectangle piece. The die also cuts out the thin frame.
Card #7: Queen Fox Card
My favorite part of this whole card is the little crown on the fox’s head. So darling! The fox took some work to die cut and put together, but I love how it turned out.
Card #8: Happy Bear Card
This card kept changing as I was creating it. I tried to use the sticker that said, “happy,” but it was so thin that I ripped it. I used an ephemera piece instead. I just kept adding ephemera pieces to this card until I couldn’t fit anymore on.
Card #9: Stamped and Colored Pattern Paper Card
Card 9 is another of my favorites. I love the kraft card stock they usually always include in their kits. It has a very unique coloring to it. I stamped my patter paper using the stamps again, but this time I had to color them in. Card card stock demands colored pencils. I used my polychromos pencils to color in all the images.
Card #10: Dreams & Flowers Card
I had a lot of fun creating this card. I used a piece of the black card stock behind my images, and I think that makes it look so dramatic. I used Copic markers to color in the girl ephemera picture–her hair was so fun to color in! The sentiment is another sticker, and I love how it blends into the background.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope you enjoy the video. Have a lovely day!
Happy holiday card crafting to you all! If you like to send out holiday cards, this is a great kit to use. I make 10 cards in this video, and I will make many more with the left-over supplies. It’s fun to send out a unique card to everyone on your Christmas list. It can be nice to mass produce one fabulous design. However, it’s more fun in my opinion to craft a variety of cards so you don’t get bored making the same card over and over.
In this kit Spellbinders offers some very nontraditional colors to create holiday cards with, but I enjoyed using the purples, pinks, and soft blues. I always love their packs of ephemera pieces and their pattern papers. It makes creating cards effortless and fun!
Card #1: Floral Merry Christmas Card
Card #2: Mouse & Mitten Happy Holly Days Card
Card #3: Christmas Wish Banners Card
Card #4: Stamped Pattern Paper Christmas Cheer Snow Globes
Card #5: Winter Owl Card
Card #6: Merry Christmas Pine Trees Card
Card #7: Cute Collage Card
Card #8: Joy Bauble Card

Card #10: Poinsettias Die Cuts Card
You can watch how I put these cards together in the video below. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel in HD!
