Diecut Backgrounds featuring Spellbinders

Spellbinders provided some of the supplies in exchange for sharing a project.

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.

10 Cards 1 Kit | Spellbinders July 2018

Cards with the Spellbinders July 2018 Card Kit by Jess Crafts
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.
