Spellbinders September Card Kit of the Month - Express Yourself

Hello there, everyone!

I have a couple of cards to share today featuring the September Card Kit of the Month by Spellbinders - Express Yourself. If you haven't heard about the Monthly Card Kits by Spellbinders or don't know how to subscribe to one, you can go over to the Spellbinders website and/or blog and read more about them HERE. 

This "Express Yourself" Kit, like all their other Card Kits, gives you everything you need to create 10 unique cards and even more. You now also get better goodies, including a 40 sheet paper pad, clear stamps, an adorable die set, tons of embellishments, and more!

I have made FOUR Cards using the kit, so without further ado, let's get started!

My first card features the Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set, Express Yourself Clear Stamp Set, and the Express Yourself Paper Pad along with the dies included in this month's kit.

For my card, I first pulled out two contrasting designs which would work well together from the Express Yourself Paper Pad. Next, I die cut a golden frame using the dies included in the kit from Gold Mirror Cardstock. I added another die cut over this golden image to give it a more vintage look.

I used some flowers and leaves from the Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set and also die cut some tiny flowers and ferns from White Cardstock and coloured them using dye inks. I used the Express Yourself Clear Stamp Set for the sentiment of my card. 

Moving on to my next card which features the Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set, the Express Yourself Paper Pad, dies, and gemstones from the kit.

I love the different ephemera pieces in the Express Yourself Kit for they are so pretty and varied. For this card, I simply picked out few large floral pieces and foliage which would constitute the focal for my card. I added some additional foliage by die cutting leaves and mini flowers and tucked them in this bunch.

I trimmed a small piece of patterned paper from the Express Yourself Paper Pad and adhered it to the bottom of my card panel. I also added a strip of Gold Mirror Cardstock to accentuate the look. 

Next, I picked out few gemstones which would work with my card colours and added them to my panel. I also adhered a couple of die cut shapes from the Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set to create my own sentiment. I added some light pink splatters as the final finishing touch for my card.

My third card using this kit features the Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set, the Express Yourself Paper Pad, Express Yourself Chipboard Stickers Set, and dies.

I really loved the soft mint pattern from the Express Yourself Paper Pad and wanted to create a card using it. Once I selected this particular pattern, I started sorting out coordinating embellishments which would go with this pattern. I picked two chipboard frames from the Express Yourself Chipboard Stickers Set, and adhered them over this patterned paper.

Next, I picked out few die cut shapes from the Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set and arranged them on my card panel. The golden leaves were also from the same die cut shapes set. I even used die cuts to create the sentiment for my card. And that is how this card came together!

My final card for today features the Express Yourself Paper Pad, Express Yourself Die Cut Shapes Set, Express Yourself Chipboard Stickers Set, and Express Yourself Clear Stamp Set.

This is the simplest card of the lot! I again started out by picking out a patterned paper from the Express Yourself Paper Pad. Then, I used a circle die from the  

Nestabilities Standard Circles SM Etched Dies to die cut a circle from this paper. I did this so that I could stamp my sentiment in the centre on a piece of White Cardstock.

Once I had die cut the patterned paper and adhered the White Cardstock on my card base, I used the Express Yourself Clear Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment. This is an amazing stamp set and the font is so feminine and pretty. I am definitely using this set for more upcoming projects!

Then, I added this beautiful floral die cut piece on my card panel and also included some die cut fern leaves and some die cut shapes to complete the floral arrangement. I also used an envelope from the Express Yourself Chipboard Stickers Set and added it next to the floral cluster. Lastly, I added two photo corners to my card panel and some light pink glitter gemstones as the finishing touches to my card.
