Elegant Flamingo Card

Hi crafty friends. I’m sharing a sweet card using some of the May Spellbinders  club kits.

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

I love these flamingos that are in the
 Spellbinders Large Die of the Month kit and if you scroll down you can see the other flamingo that’s also included in your kit. I’ve kept this flamingo soft and pretty to go with my card. I love using soft colours on my cards too!

By the way that gorgeous big flower is also included in the kit! I’ve used the May
 Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit, on my background and I used a light beige card stock. I then used a pink ink and inked up the edges of my panel. Once this was adhered onto my base I made my flamingo and large flower and added this to my card.

I added some foam pads to pop up my images. I think the flower looks so sweet behind the flamingo, she looks super relaxed!

For my sentiment I used the May
Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month. The font is gorgeous and I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System to hot foil the sentiment using Cobalt Blue foil. I then added this to the bottom of my card.

I hope you feel inspired to get crafting!

Thanks you for popping over my blog today.

Have fun with your kits!!

Happy Birthday Bird Card

Hello friends! I have a card to share today using Spellbinders  club kits. I’ve had tons of fun creating my cards with the club kits!

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

I’m really enjoying the
 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit and using some bright colourful colours of card is super refreshing! Do you prefer the toucan or parrot? I also used a bunch of different colours of green card for my leaves.

For my background I used the
Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit, and embossed this onto a piece of pink card. I then used the de-bossed side and if you’re a regular visitor to my blog you will know how much I love the de-bossed side of an embossing folder.

I added all my leaves to the centre of my card using foam pads to pop them up. I then added my birds and sentiment.

I had so much fun putting my birds together and mixing up the different colours of card, I always find this really relaxing.

Thanks for having a read of my blog!

Black Flamingo Card

Hi friends! I have a card to share today using Spellbinders  club kits. 

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

I’m really enjoying playing with the kits, there’s so many fun dies and other goodies to play with! I have had so much fun with the spellbinders tropical theme this month and if your interested in all of the kits you can now enjoy the Deluxe Caboodle Kit where there’s a bunch of savings plus a freebie each month.

This beautiful flamingo die is in the
 Spellbinders Large Die of the Month kit and you actually get two flamingos! There’s also a bunch of leaves and other gorgeous dies. I created my background using some of the foliage from the kit.

I inked up my background using different colours of green pigment ink then placed the leaves onto my inked piece. I then die cut two rectangles using the
 A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies. I places these onto my card using some foam pads.

For my sentiment I used the
 Glimmer Kit of the Month, and this includes a beautiful flower plus two sentiments. I added my flamingo and I also added a cute crown too.

I have been busy making more flamingos and I cannot wait to share them with you.

Thank you for popping over and having a read of my blog!

Eat Cake Shaped Card

Hello! I have a really cute card to share with you today that I created for Papermilldirect .

I really love making shaped cards I think they bring so much fun to your creations. I wanted to make a fun birthday card for anyone who loves to bake and I used my silhouette cameo to cut the shape of this card. I also used the following colours of card:White Card Super Smooth 250gsm
Baby Pink Plain Card 240gsm
Verde Foresta Nettuno Linen Effect Card 280gsm
Spring Green Plain Card 240gsm

I used a piece of White Card Super Smooth 250gsm to cut the card design out for my card base. I then used Baby Pink Plain Card 240gsmand Verde Foresta Nettuno Linen Effect Card 280gsm for the rest of the design. 

I then die cut my strawberries using Baby Pink Plain Card 240gsm and a piece of Spring Green Plain Card 240gsm.

Using some red ink I ink blended the strawberries and the top part of the strawberry using green ink. I then adhered these together. 
next using a piece of White Card Super Smooth 250gsm I stamped and coloured in the mice images. I also used the leftover card to heat foil my sentiment using my hot foiling machine. If you don’t have a hot foiling machine feel free to make your own sentiment.

I really enjoyed making this card and I just love the food mixer! I can’t wait to share some more shaped cards with you soon!

Thanks for popping over my blog today, I hope you feel inspired to get crafty!

I love creating cards with all different types and colours of card, but I kept the colour palette quite simple and pretty. Products Used:
White Card Super Smooth 250gsm
Baby Pink Plain Card 240gsm
White Card Hammered 255gsm
Latte Brown Smooth Card 220gsm
Ivory Card Smooth 260gsm

New Lilac Plain Card 240gsm
Verdigris Materica Card 250gsm

You will also need:

Spellbinders Stampendous Bear Hugs Die

Essential Arches Etched Dies

The Botanical Solarium Etched Dies

To start with I have used my arches die to make my card base. I die cut the largest die 3 times using White Card Super Smooth 250gsm and then one more using a piece of White Card Hammered 255gsm. I adhered these pieces together and the piece with White Card Hammered 255gsm will be my card front. I then used a few smaller arches die and made a frame using two dies together and I went ahead and run this through my die cutting machine using a piece of Baby Pink Plain Card 240gsm.

Using a piece of Ivory Card Smooth 260gsm I die cut another arch that is the same size as my frame. I then used my embossing folder nd ran this through my die cutting machine. The pink frame will be adhered to this piece that is embossed.

Using the larger bear die and piece of Latte Brown Smooth Card , I die cut the bear. I then added some extras to his face. I adhered my bear into the frame and placed onto my card front. Once this was all ready I used my hot foil machine to make my sentiment, if you don’t have a hot foiling machine just use a stamp or you can even hand write your sentiment. I added som flowers to the bears hands to finish my card off. 

Your shaped card is now ready, feel free to use whatever shapes you have it will still work.

Stencilled Hot Foil Card

Hi friends! I have a card to share today using Spellbinders  club kits.

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

This card was made using the May Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month plus your added extra if your a subscriber of the
Deluxe Caboodle Kit. Your gift this month is a beautiful stencil that’s used to colour in your flower from the glimmer kit.

You can also use the stencil without the foiled flower too. I used the glimmer hot foil roll in Cobalt Blue. This is such a pretty colour I’m obsessed!

I used my Distress Oxide Inks to colour the flower with my stencil and I used some Blending brushes to blend my ink on. For my card base I added a few splatters of gold paint on some white card to give some extra detail to my background.

I then used my Glimmer Hot Foil System and the Glimmer Kit and made my sentiment. I love the sentiments this month too, if you didn’t know along with the huge flower your kit will also come with two sentiments! I adhered the flower to my card and then the sentiment that I placed along the bottom.

Have fun with your kits!!

Paradise Card

Hi friends! I hope your week is going well. Today I’m so excited to be sharing a card featuring the May Spellbinders  club kits.

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

How adorable is the toucan!!! He’s actually from the May
 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit. If you haven’t yet seen this kit I highly recommend having a look because it’s super cute!! I am actually going to talk about the pineapple today though, and who knew a pineapple could be so stinking delicious to stitch!

Yes thats right this pineapple is from the Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month Club Kit, and I had so much fun stitching this. Plus these dies although used for stitching they actually look lovely without the stitching too!

I used some brown thread to stitch this pineapple and I really love how this turned out. My background is made using the Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit, and the pattern on this is really nice.

My greeting was made using the Spellbinders Stamp and Die Club Kit. I really love the font on this stamp, I heat embossed my sentiment using white embossing powder and some black card. I really can’t wait to show you more cards that I have created with kits!

Have fun with your kits!!

Sew Many Thanks

Hi friends! I have another card I m sharing today and I have used a few of my April Spellbinders  club kits.

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

I think out all of the cards I have made this one is a firm favourite. I used the Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit for my background. I really like the pattern on this folder it actually reminds me of the sun and flowers!

The sentiment is included in the
Deluxe Caboodle Kit. If your interested in the club kits and want them all the
Deluxe Caboodle Kit would be perfect for you as it’s all the kits plus a big saving.

My foliage is from some of the dies from the Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month Club Kit. I love the leaves and all the extra details on the dies.

I popped everything up using some foam squares to make my card have more dimension. I then added the sentiment over the top of my foliage.

Have fun with your kits!!

Happy Birthday Stitching Card

Hi friends, I have a super sweet card to share with you today. I have used the Spellbinders Stamp and Die Club Kit for April for my card.

This month’s kit is just lovely especially if you’re a fan of stitching and sewing. I think you could make some great baby cards too!

I absolutely love the happy stamp and you can also just use the die if you didn’t want any stitched lines on your greeting. I used the stitched heart to make a really cute background where I stamped the heart using some pink ink. I then added some dies to my card using the
 Spellbinders Large Die of the Month.

I also used the
 Essential Stylish Ovals Etched Dies for my card shape. I don’t think I will ever get bored of using these dies they really are a big favourite of mine! I kept the colours quite soft on my card, but you can of course use whatever colours you like. I think it would look pretty cool using some bright colours!

I hope you feel inspired to get creating with your kits!

Happy Stitching!

Hi friends, today I have a card to share using the Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month Club Kit, if you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can check out the kits  HERE.

This month’s kit is so beautiful. I really love the stitched flowers but it also comes with so many more dies including the gorgeous oval shapes.

I think these flowers are so pretty but they also look really lovely die cut, so if you’re in a rush and don’t have time for stitching these flowers will still give you a lovely die cut.

I’ve also used the April
Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit. I have so much fun using embossing folders and I think they really make your cards elegant and fun.

I also had to add the needle and thread die from the
 Spellbinders Large Die of the Month. I’ve also used a sentiment from the Glimmer Kit of the Month, if you’re a fan of sewing you will have to check out this kit.

I really enjoyed creating my card and stitching the flowers was pretty relaxing! I always find crafting so much more enjoyable and fun when you’re just enjoying the process.

A Stitch of Thanks

Hello friends! In my blog post today I featuring the fun April Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit.

USA 🇺🇸 clubs can be found HERE

UK 🇬🇧 clubs can be found over HERE

I love these sewing thread dies so much especially the little labels they look so realistic. In the kit this month there’s a whole bunch of dies that are just amazing but I really love the stitched sentiments that are in the kit!

For my card I have used the thread die and die cut this 5 times. I’ve used different colours of card for each piece then I added the labels.

Here you can see one of the sentiments with that lovely stitched detail. I think the sentiments are stunning and I will be using these a lot along with the rest of the dies from the gorgeous Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit.

You can add so much more to the card but I decided to keep it pretty simple and use just two dies on my card. There is a post listed below that shows more of the dies that are included in the April Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit. I have lots more projects to share with you that I’m super excited about! I hope you have fun with your kits!

Cute sewing Card

Hello friends. Today I am sharing a fun card using  Spellbinders goodies! 

If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

I have a really adorable card that’s perfect for any sewing fan! I love the April Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit, the details are just amazing. I used the de-bossed side and I usually prefer this side.

The hello die and card and thread dies are from the April Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit. I love the thread details on the dies and for my card I used the same die four times. That’s another great way to use your dies, especially if they are quite big I love to add 3 or 4 of them to my cards.

The hello sentiment is gorgeous and I love the beautiful stitching. I’m definitely going to be using this constantly on my cards.

I hope you feel inspired to give this a go and have fun!!

Gonk Bookworm!

Hi crafty friends. I hope your day is going well. If you’re a fan of gonks then you will love this one……

Can you even imagine a cuter gonk than one that’s sat on a pile of books! This cutie is part of the Spellbinders Stamp and Die Club Kit for March 2024! And yes there’s even more images on the stamp!

I kept my colouring pretty simple on this card and just used a few markers. You can of course go to town on your colouring if you want to but with this gonk I thought for my card anyway the colouring was best left a bit more simple. I have also used the Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit and the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month.

I added some foliage to the background of my card using the  Spellbinders Large Die of the Month kit and actually this one is from the February kit.

I always like to use my club kits on my cards not just the newest ones and I hope it will inspire you to create with your kits. I can also show you how I store my kits if you’re interested.

Chicks, bunnies and Eggs!

Happy Sunday! I am up on the Papermilldirect Blog today!

I wanted to create a cute Easter card and I’ve used the following card:
White Super Smooth Card 300gsm
Spring Green Plain Card 240gsm
Violet Plain Card 290gsm
Celestial Blue Plain Card 240gsm
Soft Berry Pink Plain Card 240gsm
Apple Green Card Plain 240gsm

I have also used some Sunny Studio Stamps and Avery Elle stamps for my critters.

I love mixing up my stamp sets and using different companies.

To start with I used a piece of White Super Smooth Card 300gsm and made my card base, I then trimmed down another piece of card and ran this through my die cutting machine using the embossing folder. 

Using another piece of White Super Smooth Card 300gsm I stamped out all my images using memento black ink. 

I then coloured in my images using copic markers, if you don’t have any copic markers you can use other alcohol markers or coloured pencils and paints. 

Using a piece of Spring Green Plain Card 240gsmand Apple Green Card Plain 240gsm and a grass edge die I die cut two pieces of grass and added these to the bottom of my card. I then added some of the critters.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

A Cute House with Books…..yes please!

Hi crafty friends I hope your week is off to a good start. I have a really fun card to share today using the  Spellbinders Large Die of the Month.

If you’re a regular visitor over here you will know how excited I get when it’s this time of the month! I adore my Spellbinders Large Die of the Month kit and this month your in for a fantastic treat, especially if your a lover of books like me! Also I really love that spellbinders cram so many dies into the kits that you can use them for so many different cards.

I have also used the  Embossing Folder of the Month for my card today, however I haven’t embossed the whole piece of card I’ve actually left a few inches off the bottom of my card. This is another fun way to use your embossing folders. This is why I just love crafting there’s so many fun possibilities with our craft items. I had lots of fun die cutting all the elements the books were really fun but I just love the trees and house I think they look super sweet. I also had fun adding the small flowers to my card, I think they are adorable and I can’t wait to die cut these very soon to add to my cards.

There’s so much detail and depth in the books you can actually pop the pieces out and add other colours of card or just layer it over one piece of card, like I have done with the second book. I used pink card and added some brown underneath.

For my sentiment I used my Glimmer Kit of the Month. I love this month’s kit plus it comes with a few different sentiments which is always a nice surprise.
I think you could do so many lovely projects with the kits. A bookmark would be fun to make !

Tulips To Make You Smile

Hello crafty friends! I am so excited to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today!

I have created three cards using the gorgeous Tulip Card Collection by Simon Hurley. This collection is just absolutely beautiful and I really love how big the Tulips are. I had so much fun creating with this collection.
I am such a big fan of Tulips! I have used some bright and cheerful colors of card to go along with my cards today. I hope they make you smile!

For my first card, I used a piece of white card that I embossed using the Twirling Tulips 3D Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is so detailed and I love using embossed images on my cards. I adhered this onto my card base and I then went ahead and used the Tulip Trio Etched Dies.  I die cut the tulips using some bright card and I adhered my tulips together. I then added some extra foliage to my card using the Everyday Foliage Etched Dies.

For my greeting, I used the Handwritten Sentiments Etched Dies. I adore these sentiments and I die cut the Happy Birthday die using white and blue card. I adhered this onto my card base and added the tulips and then the foliage.

For my second card that I have made and I wanted a fun, bright card. I used a green piece of card that I then embossed using the  Twirling Tulips 3D Embossing Folder.  I then die-cut some tulips using the Tulip Trio Etched Dies, and added these to the bottom of my card.

For the sentiment I die cut the word congrats using the Handwritten Sentiments Etched Dies. I really adore the font on these dies and there are quite a few different sentiments in this collection. They are perfect for adding sentiments to your cards and other projects.

For my third card, I had lots of fun using the stunning stencil from the Twirling Tulips 3D Embossing Folder and Stencil. I started by using a piece of white card and using one layer at a time I gently applied my inks over the stencils. I started with the leaves first and then the flowers as I found this way a bit easier. Once all the inks were applied to the card base I then trimmed this down to size.

I added my stenciled card to my card base and then die-cut some tulips using the Tulip Trio Etched Dies. I also added some pretty foliage using the Everyday Foliage Etched Dies. I adhered my foliage and flowers to the bottom of the card. I added a greeting to my card using the  Handwritten Sentiments Etched Dies. I popped the sentiment at the top of my card.

If you’re in the UK 🇬🇧 you can check out this wonderful collection HERE.

I’ve had so much fun creating g these cards thank you Spellbinders for having me and making my dream come true 💫. (I have always wanted to be a guest in their blog 😉).

Thank you so much for popping over today I can’t wait to see what you make!

Have a lovely day!

Your In My Thoughts Card

Hey! I have another card to share this morning and can I just say I love the wellies!!

I have used the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit.
If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the kits HERE.
These flowers are so pretty and I just love using them on my cards. Now can we just appreciate these wellies!!! How adorable and I love how the flowers can fit into them, of course you don’t have to use the wellies as a vase but I thought they would look really lovely.

I’ve also used the  Essential Stylish Ovals Etched Dies for my card base (told you I’m obsessed with this die)

For my sentiment I used a greeting from the February Spellbinders Stamp and Die Club Kit. How pretty is the font on this clear stamp!

I added some bright colours of card for my flowers, I wanted this card to have a bit of colour but still not over the top. I hope you feel inspired to create some cards today!

Spring Greetings!

Hi crafty friends. I hope you’re keeping well. If you’re in the mood for spring like me then this is the card for you.

I love daffodils and was so excited to see this month’s kit. I have used the Spellbinders Stamp and Die Club Kit for my card today. If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the kits HERE.

I love using bright colours of card on my cards and it also makes me feel like spring is on its way. I had so much fun with the February kit. The daffodils look so pretty and I will be making more cards with this set. I also heat embossed my sentiment straight onto my card base using some white embossing powder.

If you haven’t guessed yet I’m obsessed with the Essential Stylish Ovals Etched Dies. Like really obsessed I think the shape is just so lovely! I made my card base by laying up the biggest size ovals. I then used Copics to colour the daffodils in.

Stitched Easter Blessings Card

Hello! I am back sharing a fun Easter card that’s made using the Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month Club Kit, if your in the USA 🇺🇸 you can check out the kits  HERE.

If you’re a fan of stitching the Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month Club Kit will be perfect for you. I really love this month’s kit and it also looks gorgeous without the stitching. I wanted to keep this card quite elegant so I’ve used some light pinks and gold. This is one of my favourite colour combinations.

I used some white and pink thread on my card and while it did take a bit of time I think it’s totally worth it. I love the flower in the centre too it’s perfect for using on my cards.

My sentiment was made using the Glimmer Hot Foil Kit , this is one of the gorgeous sentiments that are in the February kit. I used some  Hot Foil in Copper and also my Glimmer Machine. I love hot foiling !!

I hope you feel inspired to have a go at stitching on your cards, it’s so fun!

Embossed Floral Card

Hello friends! I hope you’re having a great day!

I’m sharing a floral card that I created using the Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club Kit. If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸 you can see the club kits HERE.

This folder is so beautiful! I love the details on this folder and I think it’s fantastic for so many occasions.

I used some soft pink and cream colours on my card, as I wanted to make the embossing stand out. I used the de-bossed side of my embossing folder which I love doing. If your a new card maker and your wondering what I mean it’s the other side of the card that’s embossed. I’ve just turned it over and not used the side where the pattern is pushed up I’m using the side where the pattern is pushed down onto my card.

I also wanted to use some gorgeous flower dies that are from the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month kit. I’ve layered the flowers across the centre of my card and made little clusters of flowers around the two big flowers.

I then added my sentiment this is one of my favourite sentiments I really love the font on this. I have used the Glimmer Hot Foil Kit , this is from the January kit.

I hope you feel inspired to create some gorgeous embossed background cards today! Thanks for popping over!

I hope you’re all having so much fun with your kits! There’s even more kits to check out HERE!

See you soon!

Glimmer Daffodil Card

Good morning!

I can’t wait for spring! Speaking of spring I have a card to share using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month.

If you’re in the USA you can check out the kit HERE.

I absolutely love hot foiling and I just love the professional finish it gives your cards. This Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month for February is absolutely stunning and I also love how large this die is.

I wanted to create a soft pretty spring card so I hot foiled the daffodils onto a piece of pink card using some Hot Foil in Copper. I love how pretty this colour is in fact right now it’s my favourite hot foil colour.

Once my hot foiling was complete I went in and coloured the image using my copic markers. This is another fun way to use your glimmer plates.

To finish the card off I added a sentiment that comes with the kit. There’s actually two sentiments included in this month’s kit isn’t that just amazing!!

Thank you so much for stopping over!

I hope you have a great weekend!

MAKING FUN SCENE CARDS FOR ANY OCCASION

Hello crafty friends! I am sharing a post over on the Spellbinders Blog today which I’m super excited about!

I am sharing some sweet cards from the Windows with a View by Tina Smith Collection. I absolutely adore this beautiful collection and you can have hours of fun die-cutting! There are so many dies in this wonderful collection you will be spoiled for choice! I love the fact that you can also create so many different scenes too for all your cards and projects.

For my first card I used the Vista View Window Etched Dies along with The Botanical Solarium Etched Dies and the Up in the Air Etched Dies. I also made a card blank using the Essential Arches Etched Dies. My greeting was stamped using the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Clear Stamp Set. I used the largest die from the Essential Arches Etched Dies for my card base. I then die-cut the window using the Vista View Window Etched Dies. I added some soft ink colors to the background of the window I used light blue ink and light pink ink. I added some clouds too from the Up in the Air Etched Dies. I then wanted to add some pretty flowers so I die cut some flowers and a watering can from The Botanical Solarium Etched Diesand added these to the bottom of the window, I then stamped my sentiment using the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

For my second card, I created a sweet scene card using the Backyard Haven View Etched Dies, Up in the Air Etched Dies, Sending Sunshine Sentiments Clear Stamp Set and the Background Scapes Stencils.
I started by making the background for my card. I added some light blue, light pink, green, and light yellow ink to my card using the Background Scapes Stencils.This is such a fun stencil and there are lots of ways to create different types of scenes with this stencil. I then die-cut some clouds and sun using the Up in the Air Etched Dies. I added this to my background before die-cutting my other elements using the Backyard Haven View Etched Dies. To finish this card off I heat embossed a sentiment using the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

For my last project, I made a fun shaker card! I used the Coastal escape View Etched Dies which are just adorable! I also used the A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies, for my card base and card panel. I die-cut my card panel using some white card and added some leaves that were also die cut in white card. Using the Coastal escape View Etched Dies I made my circle shaker panel and I added in some seaweed, starfish, and a shell to my scene. I filled this up with sequins and popped this onto my card. To finish off the card I stamped a sweet sentiment using the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

Thank you so much for stopping by on my blog today, I had so much fun making these cards and I hope you do too! If you want to come and say hello you can visit me on my blog or Instagram.

This collection is available on February 10th, 2024.

Have a lovely day!!

The Cutest Easter Card

Hello friends! I hope your week is going well, I have a fun Easter card I’m sharing today.

Have you seen the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month ? It’s sooooo cute!!!! By the way if you’re in the UK you can check this out HERE. I had such fun making this card and I love the cute bunny rummaging around in that basket!

I’ve also used some other goodies on my card today. My embossed background was made using the Embossing Folder of the Month. This embossing folder is such a pretty floral folder I have used the de embossed side. I love doing this as you can get two different types of embossing from one folder. I have also used the Glimmer Kit of the Month for my lovely Easter greeting.

I wanted to have some colourful flowers and I chose some pink and yellow card along with some greens and oranges too.

What I especially love about the spellbinders kits is that it’s not aimed for one season or celebration. You can mix and match different kits together and have so much fun coming up with your own designs. For instance this card if you remove the bunny, carrots and sentiment you could turn this into a get well card, or a birthday card. There’s so many different options for you. I can’t wait to share my other cards that I have created.

Clubs are available to register from the 6th of each month to the 27th of each month, while supplies last. Clubs will then be shipped to you by the 31st of that month.

For You Bird Card

Hello friends! I hope you had a good week! I’m sharing a card I made with the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month kit and the Embossing Folder of the Month.

If you’re interested and live in the UK you can find the Small Die of the Month Kit HERE.

The Large Die of the Month HERE.

The Stitching Die of the Month HERE

Glimmer Hot Foil Kit HERE

Clear Stamp and Die of the Month HERE

Embossing Folder of the Month HERE.

I wanted to feature this gorgeous Embossing Folder as it’s just so pretty I decided to keep the card pretty simple and let the embossing take centre stage. I used the de embossed side of the embossed card so the embossing doesn’t come out of the card but rather it’s pushed in. This is such a fun way to get some extra miles out of your embossing folders.

I used the Small Die of the Month and die cut these beautiful flowers and birds. I think they look really lovely facing each other while sat in the flowers, perfect for a friend or loved one.

Here’s a little close up of those cuties!

For the sentiment I used the January Glimmer Hot Foil Kit, I love the font so much.

I hope you’re all having so much fun with your kits! There’s even more kits to check out HERE!

Have a lovely weekend!
