Today I'm introducing a brand new Kit of the month from Spellbinders. It's the Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month for February! I'm very excited for this because I got my Glimmer Hot Foil machine last fall and I LOVE it. I want more hot foil plates, and I love the idea that Spellbinders is going to offer exclusive designs each month to kit subscribers.
This month the kit features something we can never have too much of....EVERYDAY SENTIMENTS. This kit comes with 8 foil plates that are sentiments and two banner dies that coordinate plus a full roll of special Gold foil.
The sentiments are:
Best Wishes
With Love
Congratulations
Just For You
Happy Birthday
Hello There
Miss You
Thank You
I made three cards already with this kit. I normally have a small stash of cards with florals or watercoloring on them and I have no sentiments added. I keep these cards handy in case I need a quick card.
Here is a quick little video clip I made showing how I use my Glimmer Hot Foil machine. I used painters tape to create a little hinge with my shim and top plate, and that keeps everything lined up and from shifting. You don't need to do that, but it really helps me. Please see the video below.
I made a huge pile of sentiments with this kit at one time and they are at the ready to add to any card.
Here are the details about this new, exciting kit from Spellbinders. I've provided links to all the products below. (Affiliate links used at no cost to you. Thank you so much for your support) The Glimmer Hot foil club is only $20 per month and that includes shipping. The Glimmer Hot Foil membership subscription includes an exclusive Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set + One Roll of Foil.
I'm back today to share something really exciting and fun from Spellbinders! It is the February 2019 Card kit...and OH MY, it is jam packed with all kinds of great stuff to make beautiful cards, tags and more!
Here is where you can buy the kit: February Kit. It is a great value at $35! You get the cutest Swan die set ever, a 6x6 pad of patterned paper, much of it foiled, tons of foiled die cuts, layered chipboard stickers, cardstock, a stamp set, sequins, card stock, foil card stock, cards, envelopes, foam tape dots, strong adhesive and more!
You can check out the unboxing video here to see all the great stuff that you get, for a great price!
And now for some of the projects I made with this cute card kit.
This elegant card features the main die in the kit..the Golden Swan. It is so detailed and lovely. I changed it up and gave her a pink wing. I backed the card with the tiny foil dot paper included in the 6x6 paper pad...and I even lined the envelope with the pretty paper from the paper pad. The border die is from my very favorite die set from Spellbinders. You can find that here.
This card features the main kit die, and some fussy cutting of roses as accents. I once again used the lovely paper to line the envelope for an elegant birthday card.
The last project is a tag that I made using the beautiful Golden swan die mounted on a tag pocket die from Becca Feeken for Spellbinders.
In addition, Spellbinders offers all the extra items separately (excluding the dies) so if you need to replenish your supplies, you can! Shop for all the extras here!
I also made several cards using just the extras. I'll be sharing those in the coming days so be sure to stop in again.

Happy New Year crafty friends! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful Holiday season. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a new crafty year!
Today I'm introducing a brand new Kit of the month from Spellbinders. It's the Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month! I'm very excited for this because I got my Glimmer Hot Foil machine last fall and I LOVE it. I want more hot foil plates, and I love the idea that Spellbinders is going to offer exclusive designs each month to kit subscribers.
Let's have a look. My first card is with both of the hot foil plates used on a black smooth cardstock from Tonic. I love how this turned out...so chic and professional looking. The red foiling creates that beautiful letterpress look. The photos do not do this justice.
The second card I made was using black foil on a white linen paper. I love the look of the foiling on textured paper the most. It looks so professional and clean.
Did you know that Spellbinders offers foil in a bunch of colors? I used black foil here, and the red foil comes with the kit. Check out all the foil colors here.

Hi there friends! Today I want to share a new Spellbinders collection from Sharyn Sowell with you. It's called Great, Big, Wonderful World....and its full of really fun and unique dies!
I have a few cards to share with you today. These are cards, but really they are so intricate and delicate that they would look pretty just sitting out on your desk. In fact, mine is in my work office...its a pretty reminder.
Both cards were created the same way. The card design is my own. I wanted the beautiful silhouette to stand out from the card, so I created a little ledge at the bottom of the front of my card.
For the black die cut, I created a dramatic ink blended background to put behind the die cut piece. It's almost glowing, and it is really pretty. In order to keep the die cut attached, I cut a very small strip of card stock and folded it and tucked it behind the die cut, and attached to the card. It gives the illusion of it floating in front of the card panel.
The other card was made the same way, but I made the card out of black card stock, and die cut the gorgeous die from a light turquoise card stock. I used an ink blending brush to color the die cut in different areas.
That's all for today! I've linked the entire collection below (affiliate links used at no cost to you...THANK YOU for your support!)
Hello friends! I recently had a chance to play with the new Spellbinders + FSJ Bloom Box kit. What is it you say? Well, its a kit that comes with everything you need to make 4 cards, all you need to add is ink and adhesive! The kits come with a great set of stamps, coordinating dies, paper, and embellishments, as well as an idea book with detailed instructions and photos of pre-designed cards!
I played with the November Bloom Box. I made all the cards in the kit, and an extra one too!
The stamps included in the kit are red rubber cling and they stamp beautifully! I used Catherine Pooler inks and then added some shading with colored pencils on this card. This card was my own design.
These last four cards are variations of the designs and paper included in the Bloom Box. I did not copy them exactly, but they came together really quickly. I probably spent a total of an hour and half making these five cards!
There are several different boxes available too!
For more information on the Bloom Box, click HERE. (affiliate links used - thanks for your support.)
Hi there friends! I had the chance to play with the new Spellbinder's Large Die of the Month kit for December recently. This month it is a really cool interactive card die that makes it so easy to make a "WOW" type card. Let's have a look!
The kit is a great value and includes a large interactive card die and a bunch of different accent dies. You can see the whole kit HERE.
Since it is still holiday card making season for me, I made some cards with the holidays in mind...including a few Thank You cards.
The interactive card die makes it really easy to assemble these. I used foil paper and cut out all my elements. I adhered them together and that was it. SIMPLE. I can totally see using these dies with all sorts of patterned paper.
These cards all came together quickly using scraps of pretty foil paper.
Next,I took out some Holiday paper, including some leftover from the Spellbinders December card kit. (The December kit is no longer available, but the extras are! You can see them HERE)
Did you know that Spellbinders has all sorts of kits for different budgets? If you are interested, check them out below. (affiliate links used at no cost to you) Thank you so much for your support.

I'm back today to share something really exciting and fun from Spellbinders! It is the November 2018 Card kit...and OH MY, it is jam packed with all kinds of great stuff to make your holiday cards!
I may have gotten a little carried away making projects with this kit. :)
Here is where you can buy the kit: November Kit It is a great value at $35! You get the cutest reindeer unicorn die set ever, a 6x6 pad of patterned paper, die cuts, layered chipboard stickers, cardstock, a stamp set, a roll of glitter tape, foam tape dots, strong adhesive and more!
You can check out the unboxing video here to see all the great stuff that you get, for a great price!
And now for some of the projects I made with the cute die set.
This card, I die cut the reindeer in a soft pastel shimmer paper and made a non-traditional card.
You can also cut the pieces out of white cardstock and color each one with Copic, or other markers, as I did here.
This simple tag uses the patterned paper included in the kit for the different elements. The options with this die set is unlimited!
That deer die set is just darling. You also can alter this to just make a unicorn face. All you need to do is trim off the ears and place them differently, and use the hat, without the brim as the unicorn horn! SUPER versatile!
In addition, Spellbinders offers all the extra items separately (excluding the dies) so if you need to replenish your supplies, you can! Shop for all the extras here!
I also made several cards using just the extras. Super easy for quick holiday cards!
This card features the stamp set included in the kit. I stamped and colored each ornament with Copics.
These last three cards were made with all the fun pre printed items included in the kit. They were super easy, and this time of year, easy works for me! I dressed up the die cuts a bit using the enamel dots included in the kits, as well as added a bit of shading using Copic markers. These cards really look professional!
I hope you love what I did with these as much as I did! Please leave me a comment below!
Hello friends! I’m sharing something very exciting today with you!
Fun Stampers Journey and Spellbinders are coming together on November 1st, 2018! Now your favorite die cut company, Spellbinders Paper Arts, has paired with Fun Stampers Journey to offer more hiqh quality stamps and dies. Here are a few fun facts about FSJ!
1) FSJ stamps are made in the USA of deeply etched red rubber for a perfect impression every time.
2) Our thin metal dies are made of steel to give you clean cuts time and time again, without warping or dulling. And, they’re coated in FSJ green so they're easy to find!
3) We offer over 50 exclusive colors – matching cardstock, ink, ribbon and accessories makes creating easy!
4) Over 50% of our stamps have coordinating dies – no more fussy cutting!
And now for my projects. I chose this gorgeous Adore Him stamp set and matching die bundle from Fun Stampers journey and paired it with the stunning Spellbinders Shapeabilities Grand Arch 3D Card Etched/Wafer Thin Die set.
Isn’t this pretty? And it was really quite easy to make. I simply die cut all the pieces from the Grand Arch 3D card dies, and used distress ink on the back panel to create a dramatic sky. Then I stamped the images from FSJ in black, and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I assembled the entire card in a matter of minutes. This card is pretty simple, but packs a punch!
I couldn’t resist making a second card with this lovely set. I made a long card for this one. I inked up my background and then simply stamped the silhouettes of the three wise men approaching Bethlehem. Again, a pretty easy card, that is very dramatic and lovely to give someone during the holiday season.
