Have a Lovely Day

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Today's make and share is a quick one featuring a stamped image from the stamp set included in the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month for April 2021.  The kit is titled Sincerely Yours and contains lots of great die cuts, ephemera, dies, cardstock, sequins, foam pads, double sided tape and a stamp set.

I wanted to keep the design fairly CAS so I stamped the image and colored very basically with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I then Die Cut with a small postage stamp die and mounted the image on foam pads.  I layed down some washi tape from my stash, stamped the sentiment and cut with a circle die, adhered to a piece of torn vellum.  Using my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, added some mini staples, popped on foam pads and added to the card with sequins for shine.  Finishing up, I mounted the entire panel on double sided fun foam and placed on the card base.  

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Floral Thank You

Hello and Happy Thursday!  Today's card features lots of lovely die cuts, pretty patterned paper and sparkle.  I created this card using dies from the Spellbinders "Sincerely Yours" Card Kit.

There are floral and foliage dies as well as an envelope die in the kit so I wanted to create a card using the die cuts as the main focal element.  I die cut several florals and foliage that I could arrange within the envelope.  I mounted some of the florals on foam pads for a bit of dimension, added sequins for bling and a sentiment....complete.  

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Oh Happy Day

 Good Morning and welcome to Wednesday!  Today's make and share is another attempt to create a Clean and Simple card but I cannot keep away from adding elements so I will call this one a Sweet and Simple card.

I'm really loving Butterflies this Spring so I used more butterfly die cuts, circle die cuts from patterned paper, an adorable camera embellishment and sentiment stamp; all from the Spellbinders April 2021 Card Kit of the Month.  The kit comes with lovely dies, beautiful papers and embellishments.  

My version of a clean and simple yet sweet and simple card.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Friends Forever, Perfect Together

Hello and Happy Thursday!  It's April 1st and in the USA it's April Fool's Day.  I have a cute card to share today and that's no foolin'!  With Easter approaching, I wanted to share two adorable Bunnies who are Friends Forever.

I love Scene cards so I used elements from the Spellbinders "Welcome Spring" card kit and "Celebrate Spring" Stamp Set to create my little scene.  The Bunny die cuts match the patterned paper wonderfully; the paper pad included in the kit is chocked full of beautiful Spring prints and patterns.  For a finishing touch, I added pink gems from the kit.  The gems are so sparkly!

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Monochrome Hello Friend

 Hello and Happy Wednesday and I hope you've had a lovely day.  It's early evening as I type this post and I'm sharing a Monochrome Friendship Card created with the Gina K. Designs Forever Flowers Stamp set which is part of the Forever Flowers Card Kit.

I love color but was inspired to create a Black and White card after watching a Gina K. You Tube Video.  Her card was stunning so I wanted to give it a go.  I stamped the images with Versafine ink, die cut with the matching dies; which are part of the kit, and arranged all on a die cut oval panel.  I die cut two card panels with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rectangle Dies, embossed the white panel with a Brick embossing folder, added clear gems and a gingham ribbon.  That completed this Monochromatic card; I do like the final result.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Be Awesome Today!

 Good Sunday to you and I hope you are well.  In the States, we changed our time and "Sprung Ahead" for Daylight Savings Time.  I'm feeling that hour of lost sleep so today's post is a quick one.  

I was inspired by the butterflies I saw fluttering about this morning as I sat on the deck and had coffee.  I created this card using die cuts and the "Small Talk" sentiment strips by Tim Holtz.

The die cuts and patterned paper are from the Spellbinders May 2020 "All the Little Things" card kit.  I added some Gold Stickles for a bit of shine and called this card complete.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Let Your Colours Shine

Hello and Happy Saturday!  Today's make and share features elements from the Spellbinders "Unicorn Dreams" card kit.

After a very productive, crafty Thursday, I had some creativity left on Friday but didn't feel like getting too involved with ink blending, embossing, stamping, picking out patterned papers and coloring.  This is where the card kit came in.  I love using card kits when feeling creative but short on time or not feeling like a lot of product use.  The great thing about a kit is all the elements match so all is needed is putting a design together...easy peasy.  

Have a great day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Sending You a Little Note

 Hello and Happy Thursday!  I hope your week is going great, the weekend is in sight.  Today's make and share features die cuts and a few elements from the Spellbinders "Let Your Heart Soar" Card Kit.

The card kit contained chipboard frames, dimensional embellishments, a pretty 6x6 paper pad and a nice stamp set with lovely sentiments. I created a Friendship card using elements from the kit and items from my stash.  For a final touch, I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in Black and Gold Sequins.  

A quick make that's ready to be filed in my "Go-To" card stash for when it's needed.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Believe You Can Shaker Card

Good Tuesday to You!  Today's post is a quick one sharing a card made using elements from the Spellbinders February 2021 "Let Your Heart Soar" Card Kit.

I used elements in the kit to create a Shaker card.  I added Glossy Accents to the hearts and middle of the flowers along with a Twine bow to the tag.  

Sometimes, when I'm feeling creative but short on time, I reach for a card kit.  This allows me to be creative with layouts and element placement without all the time it normally takes me to create a card.  I'm a slow card maker...especially when coloring. 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
