Spellbinders July Card Kit of the Month - Shellebrate

Hello there, everyone!
I have an exciting post to share today featuring the July  Card Kit of the Month by Spellbinders - Shellebrate. 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 "Shellebrate" 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!


To create this card, I first picked out two different patterned papers from the Shellebrate Paper Pad which would work for my card design, Next, I die cut the mermaid's tail, body, face, and hair using the dies included in the kit from Canson Montval Watercolor Paper. I coloured the die cut pieces using the Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolor Brush Markers Set. I assembled the entire mermaid together and adhered it to the card panel. I also added some additional details to it, like the tiara on the mermaid's hair which were die cut using the tiny flower dies included in the Kit. I find it so pretty!

I used some die cuts from the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set to create the background for my card. I used a variety of elements so that it would depict an underwater scene. 

For the first half of my sentiment, I used a die cut from the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set. For the other half, I heat embossed the word 'Mermazing' in White on a strip of Black Cardstock and adhered it on my panel using foam tape. I also added some Ranger Diamond Stickles on certains points of body of the mermaid and the fishes for added interest. 


For my second card, I used the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set, and Shellebrate Paper Pad

To create this card, I used a patterned paper from the Shellebrate Paper Pad which had foiled holographic waves on it. Next, I die cut a circle from the centre of this paper so that I could create a scene around this. I took another piece of White Cardstock and ink blended the background to depict the look of ocean water. Then, I used several die cuts from the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set and adhered them on my card panel. I'd like to point out a tiny detail in this scene - I have added a tiny flower to the Sea Horse just to doll it up. Doesn't it look so sweet?

I mounted this panel onto an A2 sized top-folding white card base. I added some purple sparkle stickers from the Shellebrate Foam Stickers as the finishing touch for my card!



To create my card, I first began by die cutting a patterned paper from the Shellebrate Paper Pad using a Diagonal Stitched Rectangle Frame Die Set. Once that was done, I started working on my card design. I used a mix of stickers from the Shellebrate Foam Stickers and several die cuts from the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set to create the entire scene on my card. I also die cut some underwater plants and shells using the dies included in this month's kit and adhered it to my panel. These Kits provide you with all the supplies you would need to create ten cards and more and are incredibly fun to work with! I always have a great time creating cards using the Monthly Card Kits. 

You can see the dimension of the stickers here. I used some sentiment banners from the Shellebrate Foam Stickers to complete my card. 


My last card for today showcases the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set and Shellebrate Paper Pad.

To create this card, I again started out by selecting a patterned paper from the Shellebrate Paper Pad which I could use for my card background. Once I did that, I started thinking about the main elements for my design. I decided to use a film strip, some dolphins and water splashes, fishes and underwater plants for my card. These all came from the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set. There are innumerable die cuts included in this pack to help you create 20 cards or more! 

The sentiment is also a die cut from the Shellebrate Die Cut Shapes Set. I adhered it to my panel using foam tape. I also added some white glitter stars from the Shellebrate Foam Glitter Sentiment Stickers to my panel as the finishing touch. 


And here are all my cards together! Each one is so different from the other, yet was created using a single Card Kit. I love the versatility and the possibilities each kits offers!
