Spellbinders May Quick & Easy Cards

I have several cards to share with you today, featuring the Spellbinders May Quick & Easy Card Kit. This months kit is called, "Spreading Happiness" and I've got to say, it lives up to its name! 

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

For my first card, I was inspired by those adorable frogs; the handsome Prince Charming and his Princess! I wanted to create a pond scene and thankfully, all the elements that I needed were there. Spellbinders thought of everything! That patterned paper looks like a wood grain design, one of the selections in this months kit, I thought it would make an awesome pond for layering the rest of my die cuts. It definitely passes for swirling water!

This card features these elements from the kit: patterned paper, die cuts, puffy sticker sentiments, chipboard embellishments, and of the course the adhesives and A2 card.

Home is our happy place and I wanted to create a simple card that can be put together quickly. This card features some embossing on a white card panel using the 3D Circle Illusion embossing folder, run through my Platinum 6 die cut machine. I was thrilled to see white card panels included in this months kit because I love a lot of white space.

This card would be lovely to send a friend moving into a new home or simply to remind a friend or loved one how important family is to you. This card features these items from the kit: patterned paper, chipboard elements, and die cuts.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everyone who know me, knows my obsession with coffee and tea. I take both, hot or cold but preferably hot. I'm always wishing for coffee and tea elements in these card kits and so far, I have not been disappointed. Did I mention this months kit includes some shaker elements? They are fantastic and I trimmed up some of the items in the mix to make the sprinkle embellishments on my donuts. There's also some pretty, clear sequins and they are adhered to my card as well.

Other items used from the kit are: patterned paper, colored cardstock, chipboard elements, and die cuts.

 My last card is a hodge podge of lovely floral die cuts. Beneath all those die cuts is an embossed dark blue card panel using the Tile Reflections 3D embossing folder. Some of my die cuts are adhered directly to the embossed panel and others are popped up on adhesive foam. I also glued some of the sprinkle mix onto the center of a couple of those flowers.

Elements from this kit include, die cuts, colored card panels, shaker mix, cardstock embellishments, sequins and puffy sentiment stickers

Summer Paradise Cards

Hey crafty cardmakers, I'm back with my last post, for scrapbookingstore.com.  I'm so happy that they invited me to create with their July Scrapbook Kit of the Month.  It has truly been a pleasure!  I've designed this cute flamingo card that features the Echo Park Paper "Summer Fun" collection, featured in this month's kit.

I've also incorporated the chipboard embellishments which are for upgraded subscribers.  Doesn't it look perfect as the sun behind my cloud?

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I occasionally receive free product in exchange for creative design work and/or share convenient affiliate links for the various companies that I partner with.  Should you shop through any of my affiliate links, I will receive a small commission.)

Let me mention again, what's included in this kit.  Of course, as I mentioned above, the Echo Park Paper Summer Fun collection with 12x12 sticker elements are included in the kit.  These double sided papers offer so much versatility, which is always a bonus when creating cards.  That's right, this is a scrapbook kit but it's use is not limited to scrapbooking.  Obviously, since I'm creating cards, right?  

For those of you who are scrapbookers, hopefully these samples will help you "spread your wings" and branch out with other uses for these amazing papers as well.  I hope I've given you some good ideas, at the very least!

Lastly, I made a bonus card which features mostly the Studio Calico journaling cards with some Echo Park stickers mixed in.  I even made my own watermelon slice!  Just use circle punches of varying sizes or nesting circle dies on the light green and red journaling cards, then cut in half.  There was a fabulous journaling card that resembled watermelon seeds as well, so I cut a half circle and colored it light pink with a waterbrush and water based brush marker.  Just stack your tri-layered elements to create that watermelon slice.  This would also make a great element for use on a scrapbook layout.  

Remember, for customers who chose to double their stickers and embellishments, this month's kit comes with more stickers, chipboard shapes and journaling cards from American Crafts and Studio Calico.

Card For Dad Featuring The Hedgehog Hollow June Kit

 Here's my first project for The Hedgehog Hollow design team and I'm featuring mostly products from the June card subscription kit.  This includes cardstock, dies and stamps included in the kit.  Let me share a few key tips on how this A2 sized card came together.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

First, I used my stamp positioner and positioned my black cardstock in the corner.  After stamping my steel cut background stamp with grey pigment ink, I picked up my cardstock, turned it clockwise 180 degrees and re-stamping the same image.  It gave a 3D effect that I really like.  Since it was pigment ink, I misted with my water mister to fade the color even more, blotted dry then heat with my craft heat tool to dry.

For my "Dad" sentiment, I cut the word 3 times with the white cardstock included in the kit, using my manual die cut machine.  Next, I glued all my layers together to give more dimension and popped up with thin strips of foam tape.  I also trimmed a piece of the heavyweight kraft paper include in the kit and cut with the pocket die, then embossed with a wood plank embossing folder.  The pocket die is larger than I wanted on this A2 card, so I simply moved the bottom edge of the die about an inch below the cardstock, to allow for a shorter die cut.   Or you can just trim as you like for your card dimensions.

My smaller sentiment was stamped with the LDRS Creative Raven hybrid ink that was included in the March subscription.  Next, I popped it up with foam circles onto a larger piece of white cardstock.  Ribbon trim and silver foiled black foam circles finish off the embellishments.  The foiled circles remind me of nails hammered into that kraft, woodplank die cut.  What do you think?

This is such a fun kit this month.  Alexandra designed all the stamps and dies for this kit which makes it extra special.  They are exclusive products, only to subscription kit members.  Don't forget, regular subscribers get a free bonus item each month.  The bonus item in the June kit is from the new Arabian Nights collection from Tonic (Copper Blush/embossing powder).

Unboxing The Hedgehog Hollow March Kit

I have in my possession, the March subscription kit from The Hedgehog Hollow.  There is a strong possibility that I wrestled this beautiful box from the clutches of the mail man, taking him down at the 20 yard line of my drive way, and dusting off my clothes as I raced back to the safety of my craft room.  Needless to say, the box was not harmed in the making of this video.  

This kit is valued at approximately $50, features exclusive product, exclusive YouTube video tutorials for making fun cards from the product found inside this box and shopping coupon codes.  

Check out my short YouTube Unboxing video!  You are going to love it!  Be sure and subscribe to my channel and also to The Hedgehog Hollow.  The March Kit may already be sold out, I'm not sure so don't waste a minute if you want to get your hands on the few remaining boxes!
