Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing two cards created with Spellbinders products. A few months ago I got an amazing deal on the Spellbinders Kaleidoscope background dies and love how they can add a lot of interest to a card with little effort. In today's cards I created two very different backgrounds to create two very similar cards. For more details check out the video below:
I also use the Spellbinders Grateful for You stamp and diecut set. The images in the set are cute but easy to color and since it comes with the coordinating dies it was really easy to finish off the cards.
Disclosure: I was given this kit free to work with and share. Affiliate links are used.
Hello crafty friends! Today I am here with the July 2018 Spellbinders Card Kit. I found the contents adorable and I was excited to work with it. I have a video sharing some inspiration from the kit as well as more information under the video.
Today I am sharing 10 cards with the kit. I stuck almost exclusively to the kit contents except for using a black pen, die cut machine, and a paper trimmer. What is awesome about this kit is that it comes with adhesive and card bases so it is a very inclusive kit that will work well for crafting on the go or for someone who hasn't built up a large stash yet. The cards and envelopes also mean that you can send the cards right away. All cards are A2. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs.

From Scrapping for Less: Ahhhhh! My most favorite place in the entire world to be! Salt air in my hair, sand in my toes and the sound of crashing waves, what more can a girl ask for to be totally relaxed? Well, the next best thing to me is to grab some summer-themed products and make beach themed cards! And do we ever have that on the agenda for today! So grab yourselves an island cocktail (not coffee this time) and lay back in your lounge chair and browse on through the wonderful creations the design team and guest designers have to offer you today. Our fabulous “At the Beach” card kit is available now, but don’t fall asleep in that chair or you just might miss out!
Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 10+ Cards 1 Kit video this time featuring the Scrapping for Less June 2018 Card Kit. This month the contents were perfect for making some cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. At first I just planned on making 10 cards, but once I got started I was having such a great time making cards I kept going so I have 12 cards to share with you today. If you want more info on donating card please check out my Card Drive Resources page. To see it all in action check out the video.
