Spellbinders July 2020 Card Kit & A SALE!

Hi friends! I hope you're having a fabulous 4th of July weekend. It sure is hot outside! Maybe it's time to come in a bit to cool down? My favorite way to take a break is making cards! I find it so relaxing and when I'm done I have lots of pretty cards to share! 

Today I'm playing with the Spellbinders July 2020 card kit! What a treat delivered to my front door every month! It's loaded with EVERYTHING you need to make a TON of cards! I mean.. pattern paper, card stock, die cut images, stickers, chipboard frames and so much more! Have a peek....

You even receive the card bases, envelopes, double sided tape adhesive, adhesive foam tape, a stamp kit, and even a die cut set! What a great value at $38.50!!

I'm linking up to Craftyhazelnut's Pattern Paper Challenge because I do love my pattern paper and it's always fun playing along at challenges. I love seeing what everyone is making with their pretty papers!

I die cut lots of pretty detailed borders with gold foil paper (also in the kit) to add to my designs. There are gold foil details throughout the collection so there's lots of sparkle and shine.   The kit even includes a pack of sequins for embellishing your designs.

I'm only showing three designs today - I've got five more I'll show later in the month! And I could still make more! There is alot to work with in this kit, and when I'm all done, I'll still have the stamps and die cut set!

The images are beautiful birds and vintage keys and florals in navy, burgundy and emerald. The kit includes a 6" square paper pad for easy mixing and matching.

I used the double sided journaling cards to adhere inside the chipboard frames . I left the rounded card edges exposed (they're bigger than the frames). The vintage prints are lovely.

This kit would be a welcome addition tucked in my bag for a road trip because it includes everything you need to make. The only other thing you'd need to pack is a paper trimmer. The die cut images and stamps can be created before you leave the house of left off your project and saved for later.  If you love the kit and want to give it a try use code  "JULY" and receive 10% Off the first month for new subscriptions.  Click here to see all the Spellbinder Club Kits. 

I like that everything is selected and assembled for me. Papers and die cut images are ready to work with and it's all delivered to my front door every month. If you don't love a surprise that's ok too because you can always order the kit after it's revealed on the first of the month.

There's lots of sales going on.. just one more I want to make sure you know about..

You can find the Spellbinders 4th of July Sale here!

Keep making and more than anything else HAVE FUN!

Simple Stories Bro & Co Collection

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great day! I’m excited to share EIGHT cards made with the new Simple Stories Bro & Co Collection! It’s just the thing for the young men in your life!

The colors and prints are bold and masculine and the themes are perfect for different occasions you might be celebrating. How about a congrats on that new driver’s license?

I confess I’m not up to date on all the expressions the kids use today and was grateful for my son for interpreting the secret language you’ll find throughout the collection. GOAT? Ok.. Greatest of All Time. Want a laugh? Ask someone to tell you what YEET means! Not so easy to put some things in words.

Now Hangry? I totally get that one.. probably describes me pretty often.. getting a little crabby because I need something to eat. 

I’ll be using these EPIC cards for birthdays, and other major achievements to celebrate! Or maybe just a way to get my kid to smile when he’s away from home this summer.

This collection celebrates the youth of today..skateboards, guitars, pizza, tacos, video games – It’s all good!

What you’ll love is all the accessories available in this collection – decorative brads, chipboard, two types of bits and pieces die cuts, and so much more, all perfectly coordinated to work together. Trust me, you’ll be killin’ it!

The papers in this collection are only available in 12” sheets. When I start working I always cut out the journaling cards and then cut the remaining papers into 6” squares. This makes them easy to manage and see all the prints at one time.

Celebrate the young men in your life and reconnect with this fun collection. It just might surprise you just how much you really have in common!

Monkey Friends - Hang In There!

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! I love to make cards and am always looking for a new challenge to play. I like to see all the latest challenges listed at Paper Playful! I found a new one called "As You Like It Challenge" and this time they are asking "Do you prefer Jungle or Farm themes? and why?"

Well as you can see, I'm going for JUNGLE most definitely! Why? Because I love being silly and while farm animals can be silly too, monkey see, monkey do is a whole different level of silliness! 

This card starts with a distress ink background topped with a frame from the Nature Essentials die set. This die is unique because it includes a frame and some borders for creating easy scenes. I stamped a sentiment from the set inside the frame and then inked some Stitched Leafy Borders with distress ink and snipped them to fit inside the die cut frame. 

Copic colored monkeys with bananas are hanging from the branches. I adhered them with adhesive foam tape to add some dimension to the scene. 

I hope you've got some great plans for the holiday weekend! Maybe a little crafty time? Whatever you do I'm wishing you lots of fun!
