Blooming Hello

I'm sharing some more cards that I created with the December 2024 Spellbinders Club Kit, this time I have used the Small Die of the Month and the Embossing Folders in the kit.

The flowers are from the December 2024 Small Die of the Month and the sentiment is from an old kit, the November 2023 Stamp & Die of the Month.  I used the embossing folder from the December kit for the background along with some striped paper from my stash.

For my second card I used flowers from the Small Die of the Month again, the scalloped circles and border are from the Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe collection from Spellbinders, the background is the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month and the sentiment is the November 2023 Stamp & Die of the Month.

That's all for now, hopefully catch you again soon.

Hello

I've been playing with the December 2024 Spellbinders Club Kit again, this time I have used the Small Die of the Month.

For my first card I have used the die as it is supposed to be used, I cut it from black card stock and used pink for the background and flowers, I thought it contrasted nicely.

For my second card I cut into the 'H' to create an 'I' - I saw a card like this on Instagram and liked it so I thought I would have a go. I used black card stock again, this time I used some pale yellow paper for the background.

For my final card I used white card stock and some brighter yellow paper for the background.

Thanks so much for visiting today, I will be back in a couple of days with some more cards, I hope you will join me then.

Happy Times

Here are four more cards that I created using the May 2023 card kit from Spellbinders.

I have only used items from the kit - papers, stickers, ephemera and sentiments.

I have also fussy cut items from the papers.

This collection is so pretty, I love the colours.

 

Everything you need is in the kit, all you have to do is add adhesives.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.

Monster Love

I have created some cards using the Spellbinders December 2024 Club Kits, I used the Large Die of the Month, the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder of the Month, they are love themed.

This first card uses one of the monsters from the Large Die of the Month, there are also dies to create a pop-up card but I didn't use those, I attached my monster with an action wobbler.  I created the background using my Crafter's Companion Confetti Cut In Die - the sentiment is part of the collection .

For this card I used the fun monsters again, I used the Embossing Folder of the month to create the background and the sentiment is another die in the collection.

For my final card I used the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month along with some papers from my stash.

The inspiration for the second and third cards came from Tina - Cards and Coffee Time, she creates lots of beautiful cards.

I am glad you took the time to visit my blog and read this post, I will be back in a couple of days with some more cards.

XOXO

I had a little play with my Photoplay Smitten collection a while ago and created some valentine cards.

For this card I used two of the papers, some elements from the ephemera pack to create the little banner, flowers from the sticker sheet and a sentiment fussy cut from one of the toppers.

This time I used four of the papers, some bits and pieces from the sticker sheet and a topper from the paper pad.

Everything on this card is from the collection with the exception of a little heart cut from velum.  I often use velum to separate a focal point from the background when the background is a little fussy, it helps the focal point to stand out a bit. 

Again, everything on this card is from the Smitten collection, I used a Crafter's Companion die to cut the dotty banner from one of the papers, the heart and small sentiment are from the sticker sheet and I cut the larger sentiment from one of the toppers in the paper pad.

Thank you for popping in today - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Fun and Games

I have some masculine cards to share today, ideal for a boy that is into video games, I have used a variety of papers and dies.

I have used some older papers from my stash for this card, I think they are from Echo Park, I found a picture of a controller on the internet. I printed it out and used it as a stencil to draw around and then cut out.  The buttons are all made up from die cut circles layered up. 

For this card I used Crafter's Companion papers from the Modern Man Collection and Hunkydory dies from the Fun & Games Collection.

I used more of the papers from the Crafter's Companion Modern Man collection for this card and the controller is another one that I cut out using the stencil that I created.  The large die cut sentiment is a Memory Box die that I have had in my stash for ages.

For my final card I used more papers from the Echo Park collection along with die cut controllers from the Hunkydory Fun & Games collection.

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to visit my blog and I much appreciate the comments that have been left.  I will make the effort to visit your blogs in the near future and see what you have all been up to in my absence.

Take care.

The Herbarium

I'm back today with four more cards to share, I created them using the Herbarium collection by Craft Consortium.

This first card is a tri-fold card, it has three sections each with a pocket.

Each pocket contains a tag.

For my second card I created a little washing line and pegged three small tags onto it, there are lots of bits and bobs to fussy cut in this collection - you all know how much I love to fussy cut.

There are more fussy cut items on this card along with some torn edges - I have used distress ink on the edges of all four cards.

For my final card I used two more of the large tags from the paper pad along with some more fussy cut pieces and inked edges.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.
