Hello, crafty friends!
It's the start of a new month which means it's time for a NEW Card Kit from Spellbinders. I have a bunch of cards to share today featuring the November 2020 Card Kit by Spellbinders - Merry Wishes. 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 "Merry Wishes" 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 FIVE Card ideas to share with you today using this kit, so let's get started!
To create my card, I first picked out a woodgrain patterned paper design from the Merry Wishes Paper Pad and trimmed it to size. Next, I took a sheet of Gold Mirror Cardstock and layered the patterned paper over it to give it a framed look.
Then, I die cut a decorative frame to add to the centre of the panel. To embellish my card front, I used some die cuts from the Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set. I also added some additional die cut foliage to give it more interest. I adhered the die cut shapes using foam dots and the foliage with Craft Glue. Aren't those watercolored poinsettias so beautiful?! I love how they look paired up against the patterned paper!
I used a combination of 3D Chipboard Stickers and Die Cut Shapes for my sentiment, which are included in the contents of the Card Kit. To finish, I added some gold sequins. This was simple and quick to create and I am quite pleased with how it turned out.
Card #2
My card uses the Merry Wishes Paper Pad, Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set, and the exclusive dies in this month's Card Kit.
This month’s kit is all about the Christmas Season that will soon be upon us! I had so much fun creating these bright and festive cards. It's also perfect for getting your Holiday Cards a good head start!
For my card, I first die cut a panel from a foiled patterned paper design from the Merry Wishes Paper Pad. I adhered this to a panel of White Cardstock and then onto a panel of Red Cardstock to mat an A2-sized white card base.
I used one of the die cut pieces from the Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set to create my card focal. I added a scalloped circle cut from Gold Mirror Cardstock atop the wreath die cut and then adhered another die cut piece over it to resemble the look of a Christmas ornament. Next, I die cut a mini wreath and some flowers and leaves using the dies from the Card Kit to embellish the circle and adhered the pieces down using Craft Glue. I added sequins in the centres of the flowers for added interest.
To complete the card, I die cut the body of the lamp post from Gold Mirror Cardstock and snipped it to look like the string of a bauble. I added a chipboard sticker shaped like a bow to accentuate the design. Finally, I adhered some die cut red stars for a festive touch.
Card #3
My card uses the Merry Wishes Paper Pad, Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set, and the exclusive dies in this month's Card Kit.
This card comprises predominantly of die cut shapes, so it was really quick to put together. To begin, I chose a patterned paper print from the Merry Wishes Paper Pad and trimmed it to size to adhere to my A2-sized white card base.
Next, I pulled out some die cuts from the Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set and adhered them to my card panel using foam squares. Then, I die cut the body of the lamp post from Gold Mirror Cardstock and trimmed it to look like the strings of the baubles. I adhered them to the panel and added some additional die cut foliage to give the design a more cohesive look. To finish, I added some Puffy Sticker Stars and a sentiment circle.
Card #4
My card uses the Merry Wishes Paper Pad, Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set, Merry Wishes Stamp Set, and the exclusive dies in this month's Card Kit.
To create my card, I first trimmed a patterned paper design from the Merry Wishes Paper Pad to size and adhered it over my A2-sized white card base. Next, I took a piece of White Cardstock and stamped snowflakes on the top half of the panel using one of the stamps from the Merry Wishes Stamp Set. I used Pool Play ink for stamping the snowflakes. Next, I die cut a circle from regular White Cardstock and placed it on the right hand side of the paper to act as a temporary mask while I lightly ink blended the panel again using Pool Play ink.
I wanted to create a Winter scene on my card front, so I stamped a bunch of trees in the middle of the panel and did some partial ink blending on the bottom to create the look of various layers of snow. The tress are from the Merry Wishes Stamp Set and were stamped using Sweet Pear ink.
To create my card focal, I die cut different components of the lamp post from a variety of Cardstock sheets. I then assembled it together and added it to my card panel using Craft Glue. I also added a little die cut wreath and bow to the lamp post to accentuate the design. Next, I adhered a polar bear die cut from the Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set. The sentiment is also from the same Die Cut Shapes Set and was matted to Black Cardstock and then popped on to the panel using foam tape.
To finish, I added some die cut and coloured snow banks to the bottom of the lamp post. I also used Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue in Diamond to create the effect of snow on the trees. I also used it along the various layers of the snow banks for some shimmer and shine.
This card too didn't take me much time to put together. To begin, I picked out a foiled patterned paper print from the Merry Wishes Paper Pad and trimmed it at an angle to fit my card panel. I adhered this over a panel of White Cardstock to mat an A2-sized white card base.
Next, to embellish my card front, I used some die cuts from the Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set and Chipboard Stickers from the Card Kit. I adhered everything to my panel using foam squares for dimension. I love how the die cut packs always include so many different options. They really help one to create a multitude of cards in a jiffy! To complete my card, I adhered the sentiment banners to my panel, which are also die cuts from the Merry Wishes Die Cut Shapes Set.
