Spellbinders Card Kit of The Month

Hello friends!

It's time to share this month's Card Kit from Spellbinders.  This month's card kit is absolutely delightful. I have TWO cards to share today!

 

The May Club sign up window is now open. Sign up now through May 24th and receive the pictured kit.

Join the Card Kit of the Month Club and receive an expertly curated cardmaking kit each month, complete with inspiration. Plus, members get store savings, extra deals, gifts, and more.

This month's "Koala Smiles" Card Kit includes a 6x6 paper pad, clear stamps, an adorable die set, tons of embellishments, and more!

Let's start with the cute Koala bear!

By following the instructions (included in the Card Kit), I was able to assemble this cute koala easily.

In this die set, it comes with a few die sentiment such as "hang in there, let's hang soon".

 

For the 2nd card, I used the stamp set (part of the kit) and created the simple card.

 I love stamping a background to match the ephemera and that was what I did here.

It is always a good idea to take a plain piece of pattern paper and alter it. The line paper from the paper pad was light colored. However, with distressed edges and stamped flowers, the floral image and embellishments were made for each other!

Thanks for stopping by!

Add The Midas Touch

 Hello friends!  

I am once again sharing another favorite things that I do with Embossing Folders. That is, do not be intimidated by applying more colors and details. 

Altenew Flower Bed Embossing Folder

Embossing Folders have come a long way. These days, the folders are 3D and can be angled to add colors and shades. 

Today's card was created during my time at ScrapFest that took place over a week ago. While doing Make and Take, I didn't have sample to show! So, I needed to make one-pronto!

 

Therefore, along with the attendees at the ScrapFest, I created one just like that.... this card didn't take long to make since the embossing folder have all the designs already. 

 I love using dies for embellishments. The Itty Bitty Die Set is perfect for all kinds of die-cut project. I picked out one of leaf and die cut it in gold.

I hope that you enjoy seeing this colorful card. Thanks for stopping by!

Use That Embossing Folder Creatively

 Hello friends!

I am delighted to share a project with Embossing Folder of the Month (Spellbinders). This post will give you some inspiration on using pattern paper with embossing folder.

The May Club sign up window is now open. Sign up HERE now through May 24th and receive the pictured kit.

Join the NEW Embossing Folder of the Month Club and receive an expertly designed embossing folder each month, complete with inspiration. Plus, members get store savings, extra deals, gifts, and more.

This month's "Faux Stitch embossing folder is perfect for making cards, decor, and more.

 It is obvious that we can dry-emboss any types of paper, such as white, colored card stock and pattern paper.

The twist about this project is that it combines two different pattern paper. With the joint of a touch of Spellbinders Glitter foam Sheet (linked below), this card looks cohesive and seamless thanks to the dry-embossing folder.

 To dry-embossing the paper in one go, I adhered two pieces of pattern paper to a thin piece of copy paper. You can also use a large strip of Washi Tape. Once joined, I then ran it through this month's Embossing Folder (Faux Stitch")

 You can also follow the pattern add your stitching. There are so many ways to use this fun embossing folder.  I embellished it with the ephemera (from May Monthly Card Kit).

This proved to be super easy and fast! I am so glad that you visited my blog today.

The imaginative set features a magnificent tree branch bearing flowers that you wouldn't normally see together in nature.

Each month includes a stamp set along with a coordinating stencil set and/or die set PLUS a customer-favorite Mini Blending Brush! Build your collection of brushes from month to month so you will never be left looking for the perfect tool while crafting.

This set contains the following products:

This set does well and can be used in so many ways thanks to the large size. Basically you can stamp it in so many ways without repeating.

 

I like to use multiple sets for color-blending and ink-mixing. By following the guide, I was able to stamp and ink up each petal and leaves without any problem.
