Spellbinders | Wish Big

Hello! Looking for the Spellbinders blog hop post? Head HERE.

Make a birthday extra special with this whimsical monster-themed card, perfect for celebrating a 5th birthday! Paired with a cheerful “wish big” sentiment, this card is sure to bring smiles and joy. The die-cut sentiment was created with the Spellbinders August 2024 Small Die of the Month kit – “Colorful Expressions Sentiments.”

I paired the die-cut sentiment with previously released products to showcase the set’s versatility. Whether you’re crafting for your own child or a friend’s, this card is a delightful way to mark a milestone with a touch of playful charm.

Spellbinders | Purr-fect Birthday Card

Hello! I am sharing a birthday card created with products in the Bibi’s Cats and Pugs Collection at Spellbinders. Celebrate in style with this whimsical card featuring a cat wearing glasses adorned with birthday candles. Previously, I shared three Christmas cards created with the collection in this post. As I mention on the Spellbinders blog, before cutting, I recommend printing out the die set parts image from the product page. This allows you to make notes and identify parts as you go through the set.

- Create a 5″ x 7″ card base and cover with patterned paper.
- Cut the cat and accessories with dies in the Big Cat and Cats and Pugs Accessories sets. I used patterned paper that coordinated with the card background for the cat’s scarf.
- Stamp the sentiment with stamps in the Cats and Pugs Sentiments set (I used a navy pigment ink). Use a die in the Cats and Pugs Accessories set to cut the sentiment words and add to the glasses.

Snappy Birthday Shaker Card with Queen & Co. Kit

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a birthday shaker card featuring an adorable crab. This “Snappy Birthday” card is bursting with fun, thanks to the shaker elements contained within the crab and the patterned paper that perfectly complements the theme. Using products from the Queen & Co’s Under the Sea kit, this card is sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face.

The Under the Sea kit includes dies (nine different focal elements), die-cut foam pieces, shaker elements, patterned paper, and a sentiment stamp set (featuring some fun fonts). I used Foundation die sets – 3, 14, 19 – to create the paper layers and to cut my sentiment.

Looking for additional inspiration with the kit? I shared cards created with this same kit HERE and HERE.

Spellbinders Daisy Birthday Bliss

Hello! Today, I am sharing a floral birthday card created with the Spellbinders Fresh Picked Daisies die set paired with a BetterPressed sentiment. As I have mentioned before, following Christmas cards, birthday cards are the type I send most frequently.

- Create an A2-sized card base and cover with textured pink cardstock.
- With the Fresh Picked Daisies set, cut the daisy flowers and stems from cardstock. Assemble. Fussy-cut stems. Add assembled florals to card base.
- Press the Let’s Celebrate Sentiments sentiment in black on Snowdrift cardstock. Cut with a banner die (I used a die included in a glimmer sentiment set).
- Step into a world of daisy-infused birthday delight! With intricate die cuts and heartfelt sentiments, our handmade card promises to add a touch of warmth and charm to any celebration. Let’s dive into the creative journey behind this exquisite creation!
- Add the sentiment to the card with foam adhesive.
- Embellish with enamel dots.
