Spellbinders - July 2021 Card Kit of the Month - Damask Daydream

 Hello friends!  It's time for another gorgeous Spellbinders' Card Kit of the Month!  I'm truly amazed at the quantity you get in each kit!

I created three cards to share with you, but there are supplies for so many more!  Also, I'm definitely saving the extra die cut pieces to use in my scrapbooking (when I get back to it, that is!)  These are just perfect for your layouts in any style of scrapbook!

Except for a couple of additional Spellbinders dies (which are linked at the end) you don't need any additional products to create your cards!  So I'll leave you with photos of the gorgeous cards with a brief explanation, where needed.

This card uses some of the included pretty patterned paper along with one of the dies in the kit.  I backed the patterned paper with some of the included purple card stock.

This next card uses more patterned paper and some die cut shapes one of which I popped up with the foam squares.

I used the stamp set and stamped the sentiment in black ink (not included) and die cut it with the coordinating die.  The papers are cut with the A2 Matting Basics dies.

For my third card, I just had to use more of the beautiful butterflies!!  It's very hard to tell in the photos, but the butterflies have a clear acetate overlay with just a bit of sparkle on them.  So pretty!

I die cut the white card stock with an Elliptical Oval Etched die and popped it up after I stamped the sentiment.

The elements in this kit are absolutely beautiful and I would've created more cards, if only I had the time!  I hope I've inspired you to check out the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  

Spellbinders - June 2021 Card Kit of the Month - Wild Hello

 Hello friends!  I'm back to share some cards I made with the amazing June 2021 Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month!  I'm really having fun with these kits!

These four cards were so quick to make, and if I didn't have other deadlines, I could have made several more!  This month's kit is called Wild Hello and it has everything related to topical foliage, to safari animals with a birthday theme, and a hello/encouragement theme!

Seriously, the only things outside of the kit that I used are my Spellbinders Platinum die cutting machine, the A-2 Matting Basics A & B dies, and some liquid glue!

My first card uses one of the four included sentiment dies.  These dies are awesome!  Each one measures 5-½" across so they can be used on a wider card, or trimmed as I did, for my A2 sized card.  I used patterned paper from the paper pad, as well as some of the die cut shapes.  Do you like how I added a black card stock shadow behind the white layer of the sentiment?  I love how it sets it off!

This card is just a sweet card to send to anyone!  Write your sentiment inside to fit whatever occasion you need.  On this card I used two pieces of the patterned paper, some chipboard elements, and a journal card. Another good card to have on hand for any occasion!

I used two pieces of the paper pad plus the included black card stock for my card base layers.  (You know that your pre-folded white cards are included, right?)  Then I used one of the die cut elements and I cut off the floral banner off of the gingham (I love the floral but didn't coordinate with the idea I had in mind.)  I stamped the cheetah fully intending to color it, but decided to keep the card mono-chromatic and left him as is.  I added some of the puffy stickers and die cuts to finish it off.

My final card is perfect for that special guy in your life!  I used the beautiful foiled patterned paper with a gold mirror and black card stock layer.  I used one of the die cut pieces and added a piece of the blue card stock behind it for a frame.  A couple more of the die cut shapes, it's done!

I hope you've found some inspiration here today for the awesome June card kit!  These cards really were that easy to create!  Thank you so much for stopping by!
