Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month for January | 7 Quick and Easy Valentine Day Cards


Hello! Today I am sharing 7 Valentine Cards using Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month for January I love how these supplies all coordinated with each other to make cardmaking quick and easy. Just look at all the goodies included in this kit!

I have to say the dies and the patterned paper stack are my favorite part of the kit. I used almost everything included in the kit at least once. The only products I used that were not included was a stamp positioner, black ink, some silver foil cardstock and the die cutting machine. For those of you looking to make your own handmade Valentines Day cards, I would recommend this kit for you!  Just look of all the cards I whipped up in a few hours.

CARD DETAILS

These large premade dies make cardmaking so quick and easy, definitely a time saver. For my first card, I just popped 3 of them up with foam and glued them on to a trimmed piece of patterned paper that I had glued onto the prescored red card base.

For card #2, once again I used the premade die cuts as the focal point. Stamped a sentiment from the stamp set included in the kit underneath the dies onto this trimmed piece of patterned paper that I had glued onto a card base and voila, all done card number 2!

For this next card, I used a couple of different pieces of patterned and solid cardstock to create some layers for the background. I then simply added the die cut pieces and finished it off with a few enamel hearts.

Again here I used a piece of patterned paper for the background of the card and added the premade dies as the focal point. I also stamped the sentiment on the top left corner using one of the stamps from the included stamp set. Finished off the card once again with the enamel hearts.

For card #5, I first die cut the typewriter using the dies from the kit and then on the paper I stamped the sentiment from the included stamp set.  Popped the typewriter onto some diecut hearts that I had glued directly onto the striped paper and then finished the card with the enamel arrow stickers along the bottom edge.

On this next card, I used the die cut sunglasses as a focal point and then built around them with the other die cuts that I had glued onto the white cardstock strip to break up the patterned paper. I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment below the grouping which I thought made a great play on words for "eyes".

And for my final love birds card,  I began with stacking a few of the patterned papers together to create somewhat of a frame around the lovebirds and then used the flower dies to cut out flowers using coordinating cardstock to add around the corners of the frame. I then finished up the card once again by stamping out the sentiment and adding the enamel dots and hearts.

As you can see from my card examples they are all super simple designs, making them quick and easy to put together. It is so hard to mess them things up when everything is preselected for you to coordinate together.

Easy to Make Snowman Gift Card


Are you ALL ready for Christmas?! I am definitely NOT, eek... and it's less than a week away!!!😨

If you have been following me on YouTube, you will know that I am doing a Holiday Card Series. Today's card will be the last one for the series. I had planned on making a few more but because I won't have time for video editing I have decided to take a break from the craft room and catch up on everything else.

Well let's get to today super cute card Snowman Gift Card. 
For this card I wanted to create a card using minimal supplies or at least supplies most of you would already have. Most of this card was done with circle dies. I did use a gift card groove die to hold the gift card in place, but you can easily replicate this without having one. You can either just use a couple foam squares to pinch the gift card in place (hidden underneath the gloves) or use a small circle die on each side and do some partial cutting to the width of a gift card.

To begin, I cut out the snowman's head and body using some large circle dies.
The nose was just a hand cut triangle popped up with foam. For his mouth I used very tiny drops of Night Sky Nuvo crystal drops and added a pink hole punched circle for the cheek. His eyes were also hole punched circles with glossy accents added to the black card stock.

For the mitts, I used 2 circle dies and then cut thumbs from the ends of a channel slider and glued them behind the circles.  As you can see I added a few buttons to the snowman's belly (the top two are drawn in as I didn't want them to interfere with the gift card) and for the bottom one I just added a sequin. To finish the snowman I wrapped the ribbon around the base of his head and glued the ends in place underneath the foam popped up head.

For fun I added some Sea Breeze Jewel drops all around the background.

The stamped sentiments come from Timholtz Carzy Birds Think/Talk set.

Quick Christmas Card Created with Planner Stamps


Hey All!

Today I have a quick Christmas card to share with you using stamps that were designed to be used on planners. These Christmas Mini Planner stamps come from Ink On 3's latest release and is on SALE now, so make sure you snag it while you can.

Since I am a horrible planner and don't use a planner, I thought they would be just as fun to use on a card to create a background. I was so right, look how cute this card turned out and it was so quick and simple to make!

Quick Christmas Card Created with Planner Stamps

 To create the background I first stamped the silver images you see, and heat set the silver embossing on them. Then I stamped the other images randomly, using versafine Black Onyx ink and heat set them with a clear embossing powder. Next, I used Zig Clean Real Brush markers to quickly fill in the images and that was pretty much the hardest part. For the front sentiment I just repeatedly stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment, trimmed it and then also added silver embossing powder to the edges. I also ended up doing the same silver embossing on the edge of the background panel. To finish this card I added a strip of silver foiled washi tape to the front centre and popped up the sentiment using some foam tape. SO easy!

Here is how I finished off the inside.

Hope this inspires you if you are looking for last a last minute card to make or if you have planner stamps and want to use them to create card backgrounds.
