Let Your Heart Soar - Hot Air Balloon Cards - Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month - Feb. 2021

Hot Air Balloons - Spellbinders Card Club of the Month


Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month Membership for Feb 2021 is going to make your heart soar.  In fact that's the name of the kit this month, "Let Your Heart Soar".   It's  filled with hot air balloons, flowers, bright colors and uplifting images.  This kit has fabulous elements for everyday, general purpose cards. 

Here is an image of the entire kit: 

This is an image of the die included in the kit - which also coordinates with the stamp set in the kit, for a stamp/die set combo.  

The first card I made is quite simple but I love the bright bold colors and the cheery balloon.  Simplicity can be wonderful and calming.  

Another super simple card, but with a stamped quote that reads, "Go where your dreams take you."
The sentiment stamp is included in the kit as well.  




 

A little bit about the monthly "Extras" Spellbinders offers for sale in their on-line store. 

  The "Extras" are the packaged die cuts and the paper pad from the kit that can be purchased individually from Spellbinders. Here's a link to this month's Extras from the Spellbinders Store.  Each month the selection of extras changes.  

This month you can grab the Let Your Heart Soar Chipboard Frames  Let Your Heart Soar Die Cut Shapes  and the paper pad for Feb.  shown below:

Celebrate with Patriotic Cards


I'm here to celebrate Independence Day through the July Challenge at Creative Embellishments.  
Creative Embellishments has some awesome patriotic chipboard pieces that helped make my cards especially festive.  The red card is adorned with a hot air balloon from the 4th of July Set 2  painted with acrylic paint and a beautiful Lace Border (#1) that looks like a bunting.

The July Challenge has a patriotic color theme and the twist is color blocking.  You can see all the details of the challenge right here.  
Please join along in the fun and upload your project on the blog post. 


The image below shows the wonderful patriotic chippies I used.  


The blue card uses the Patriotic Star as the focal point.  I embossed the chipboard with white embossing powder and then added a piece of bold red cardstock to make the star pop and really show off the stars and strips of our beloved nation. 

While really not a color blocked card, I think the different patterns have the effect of some blocking.  At least that's the story I'm going with!



This is the second card - with a bold pop of patriotic red.  I used acrylic paints for the hot air balloon. Once again, these are the chippies I used on this card. 


The papers used for these cards comes from Maja Design - Life By the Sea collection.
