Another project using the Spellbinders small die of the month May 2018 set. I made this tag card using the Celebrate word from the die set.

I cut the tag from some patterned paper from Crate paper and some chipboard and layered them together for strength. I tied a piece of ribbon on top to hang the tag. I layered some die cuts, including the celebrate word cut on top of the pink circle. Then I applied some Nuvo drops in lemon yellow to finish  off the card. I also add a gift card pocket from Lawn Fawn  onto the back of the tag so I would have a place to hold a gift card. I can just insert this whole tag into an envelope and deliver it like that or I could tie it to a gift. By the way I did a process video on this but some how messed it up and didn’t get it uploaded properly. I’ll do better next time.

#NeverStopMaking Spellbinders small die of the month set. I made this rainbow card using the Hello die from the set and I think it turned out so pretty. It was very easy to make. I die cut the hello from each of the rainbow of colors of card stock and then staggered them onto a piece of white card stock. I then stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Best Ever stamp set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I trimmed out the sentiment and then adhered it to the top Hello strip. I finished it off with just a little bit of embellishments because I felt that there was already enough going on with all the color strips, so I adhered some clear sequins from Simon Says Stamp.

These dies could be used in so many ways the possibilities are endless. Hope you enjoyed, leave me a comment if you have any questions and please subscribe if you haven’t already done so.

For my first card using the SSS monthly card kit I used the ink cubes included and stamped some of the flower images from the stamp set and then coated them with clear embossing powder. I cut a circle from black card stock and stamped one of the greetings from the set and then white heat embossed it. I attached it to the front of the card and then added a few of the puffy stickers included in the kit around the edge of the black circle. I cut a piece of the patterned paper form the kit slightly bigger than the stamped piece and adhered it to the top. I adhered the whole piece to a top folding white A2 size card base. Super simple and easy adding only products from the kit.

I loved making this card. I cut a label shape from a piece of white card stock and then stamped around the edges with stamps from the kit using the ink cubes included. I mounted that on a slightly larger piece of the patterned paper from the kit with foam tape and then adhered that to a top folding white card base. I used the heart word and shadow die included in the kit to cut out the word with white paper and then ink blended on top. I cut the shadow from black card stock and then adhered the two together and placed them in the center of the label shape. I also stamped in black ink the little sentiment above the heart word die cut. I adhered the puffy stickers around the edge of the cut out shape and then added an acrylic heart sticker to the lower corner and then placed a few dots around with black Nuvo crystal drops. That finished off my second card, both were super easy and pretty much used only items from the kit.
