Hello! Today I am sharing two more projects created with the Spellbinders holiday kit – Merry Everything. If you missed my first post of projects created with the kit click here.
My first project is a holiday card (a nighttime trip to get a Christmas tree) created with the Merry Everything kit’s die set and stamp set.
In addition to the stamp set and die set, I used the kit’s solid cardstock, gold and silver foil cardstock and glitter cardstock to create the card. I heat-embossed the ‘Tis the Season sentiment, which is one of several holiday-themed sentiments included with the kit’s stamp set.
Yesterday, I shared a scrapbook layout created with pieces from the Merry Everything kit. Today, I am sharing two pocket scrapbook pages created with contents in the kit documenting the same Christmas morning as the scrapbook layout. I added stickers and die cut pieces to the printed pocket scrapbook cards for some embellishing.
Not a scrapbooker? The pocket scrapbook cards can easily be incorporated on greeting cards.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hello! Today I am sharing three projects created with the Spellbinders holiday kit that contains OVER 630 PIECES aptly called Merry Everything. Let’s take a look!
The Merry Everything kit includes: 25 cards & 25 envelopes, patterned paper, cardstock, foil cardstock, a stamp set, a die set, pocket memory keeping cards, stickers, chipboard, tags, twine, glitter alpha, and more! The colors and themes are on trend and easily coordinate with one another.
My first project is a set of Christmas tags which were a cinch to assemble with the kit’s contents. These are so pretty, my holiday packages can be wrapped with plain paper.
Next up, two “ready made” cards I created by combining pieces – patterned paper, pocket memory keeping cards, diamante embellishments, and die cut shapes – from the kit. Again, these were created in just a few minutes.
My final project is a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout documenting the excitement of Christmas morning for two young boys. I combined pieces from the kit – pocket memory keeping cards, die cut pieces, stickers, tags – to create embellishment clusters for the page. Additionally, I used solid cardstock (the journaling strip), vellum paper, and patterned paper from the kit on the layout.
I’ll be back tomorrow with two more projects, a card created with the die set and stamp set and pocket memory keeping pages, using pieces from the Merry Everything holiday kit!
Hello! I’m sharing two projects (a card and a scrapbook layout) using Taylored Expressions Mini Caps Alpha & #’s dies. These dies are great for personalizing a project!
First up – a needle crafts-themed card – with a punny sentiment.
I cut the letters and adhered them to the Cross Stitch dry-embossed background within the Embroidery Hoop. I added a heart cut with Little Bits – Buttons (to represent the word “love”) and a needle cut with Little Bits – Needle & Thread. I added thread to the button and to the needle and adhered the frame to a background, which I had been dry-embossed with the Cable Knit embossing folder.

For my second project, I created a scrapbook layout for which I used the Mini Caps Alpha & #’s to create a title and embellishment.
I was a scrapbooker before I was a cardmaker, and my layouts have, for the most part, been light on embellishments, allowing the journaling and photos to do the heavy lifting. For this layout, chronicling a special trip my husband and son took this past summer, I created the “GO” embellishment by adhering letters cut with the Mini Caps Alpha & #’s set on to a circle, which I had cut with one of the dies in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. I also die cut the letters for the title, adhering them on to the journaling card, which I cut with a die in the Stitched Square Stacklets set. I printed the date onto cardstock with my computer printer and cut it with the Tab Edger die.
It’s great to be able to personalize a scrapbook page with coordinated embellishments and title without buying any additional supplies!

Welcome to this month’s creative hop which started on the Reverse Confetti blog. You should have made it here from Lisa’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you!
I’m sharing a holiday layout (chronicling our annual trips to a local nursery to shop for our Christmas tree and other holiday items) for which I created embellishments using Reverse Confetti supplies.
I printed the journaling with my computer printer, stamped it with a sentiment from Here’s the Story and cut it with the Gift Card Holder die. I cut leaves and holly berries with the Holly Confetti Cuts and added those to the journaling card. To finish, I added snowflakes cut with the two different dies in the Layered Snowflake set.
In addition, I’m sharing some of my favorite Reverse Confetti cards from this past year (hard to choose as I have many favorites)! Click on the links underneath the cards for the original posts.
I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate. Comments close Thursday at noon Central Time; the winner will be announced on Friday. Now it’s time to hop on over to the blog of Kay Miller.
