I absolutely loved this kit! It was the first time I’ve ever used anything in the Spectrum Noir range. These aqua markers are fantastic. There are a lot of different ways to use them. Three pens doesn’t seem like a lot but you can get the whole rainbow by mixing them!… Read the rest

Mini Album Using Tonic Studio’s Craft Kit #33 – White Wonderland
This was the Tonic Craft Kit that sold me on the subscription. I love the color theme for the kit — which turned out to be the White Wonderland color trend (*). The dies are fantastic also because not only are they great for cards, but when I saw them, I knew I wanted to make a mini album.… Read the rest
F.L.I.P. – Snow-Themed Holiday / Christmas Cards
This FLIP was so much fun! I made a LOT of snow-themed cards. Snowflakes are super versatile since they are good for the winter holidays in general (e.g. for folks who don’t celebrate Christmas or maybe for folks who you don’t necessarily know what they celebrate). They are also great for any winter birthdays too.… Read the rest
Christmas Advent Calendar Folio – Box With Separate Lid
Love how this advent calendar folio turned it. It was my first time making one and it came together so much more quickly than I thought it would. I’m not as worried about making the next 5 advent calendars I’m planning on. LOL 🙂
In this version, I’ve made boxes that have separate lids.… Read the rest
F.L.I.P. Using Tonic Studios Craft Kit #34 – Art Deco Frames
This was a challenging craft kit for me because Art Deco is a style I love to look at but have never used on any of my craft projects. This is the perfect kit to finally break into that style! Plus! I was super excited that everything was designed for the A2 card size – 4.25″ x 5.5″.… Read the rest
F.L.I.P. Using Pink & Main Be Merry Kit
This is the first Pink & Main craft kit I’ve used. It was a really fun kit to work with because of the bright and unique colors. On the whole, the color palette is quite non-traditional for a holiday / Christmas theme. I would expect mostly red, green, gold and maybe blue and silver.… Read the rest

F.L.I.P. – Tree-Themed Holiday / Christmas Cards
I’m giving Christmas card packs as gifts this year and my goal is to ship them out by Dec 1 so folks can actually use them this year if they want. I got a pretty big jump on things with my 40+ cards using the Spellbinders Merry Everything Kit, but I’ll definitely need more.… Read the rest
Create a Flip Card Using Any Shape Die
I’m a fan of the Sizzix Flip-It dies and I have several that I love to use. They are definitely an easy way to make an impressive card. However, I found myself wanting to make a Flip Card using a heart as the focal image. I don’t know if Sizzix has one, but I couldn’t wait to shop for a die.… Read the rest

I’ve now used three different card kits from Spellbinders and I’ve reached the conclusion that they are AWESOME! I’ve made a lot of cards and even two mini albums (the first one using the Love the Moment kit and the next one from the Merry Everything kit). You can really create a lot of fun projects and cards using these kits.… Read the rest
