Spellbinders | February 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit

Hello! I am sharing spring-themed cards created with the Spellbinders February 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit of the Month. The “Spring Delight” kit includes a 6×6 paper pad, die cut shapes, sticker sentiments, embellishments, card bases, and more!

In addition to the kit contents, I used circles and rectangles on two of the cards to help frame the focal pieces. For the cards with sticker sentiments, I added a strip of cardstock to the sticker before adding the sentiments to the cards with foam adhesive. Additionally, I found that mixing the flat die-cut pieces and chipboard pieces brought more dimension to the cards.

Spellbinders | Duck with Umbrella

Hello! I am sharing a “hello” card created with several Spellbinders supplies including the cute Duck with Umbrella die set, part of the Showered with Love Collection.

Create background by adding a 1-1/2 inch of dark gray cardstock to patterned paper (I used a paper from an Echo Park pad that I had in my stash). Add to A2-size card base. (I first tried a background without a defined ground; it left the duck floating in space.)
Cut Duck with Umbrella from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble. (After I had the duck assembled, I realized I had dressed him like Paddington Bear!)
Stamp I’ve Got You Covered sentiment on Snowdrift and cut with one of the On Cloud Nine dies. Cut additional clouds.
Add elements to background, using foam adhesive on duck and sentiment cloud.
