Horoscope Zodiac Cards and More - Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month

 



Horoscope Zodiac Cards using Spellbinders Card Kit for October

  Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month Membership for Oct. 2021 is out of this world!  
It's a stellar delight for the whole family - with florals, unicorns, and two complete zodiac sets to cover the entire year. 

  Here is a picture of the entire kit this month.   


This is the die set
 in the card kit this month - a wonderful frame to use through the year.  It's a great staple to add to your stash.  Please keep in mind the moon, stars and words inside the frame come out leaving just the frame if desired (as shown in my cards today). 

Here is a close up of my entire 12 card set.  Note I did use additional supplies from prior Spellbinders Card kit leftovers. Plus the oval die used in some cards is a classic retired die, Spellbinders Chantilly Paper Lace from Becca Feeken S5-332.  

It's important to note this card has more than just the zodiac however I just featured the entire horoscope this month. 





I also featured one oval die that I adore.  


Remember,  Spellbinders monthly club dies are uniquely designed for Spellbinders and only found in their store.   You can find past club kits still available for purchase here while supplies last.

Spooky and Whimsical Halloween Shaker Cards - Whimsy Stamps


 
Whimsy Stamp - Guest Blogger
Today I am thrilled to be a special guest blogger for Whimsy Stamps as we celebrate the start to the Halloween season.   I created shakers cards using some of the sweet and some of the spooky designs.  

Whimsy Stamps is more than stamps.  They have an amazing selection of unique dies with a variety of themes including build-a-scene die sets that really caught my eye. 

Scroll down to see some DIY tips and instructions.  
 
31 Nights of Halloween
 GIANT ALERT... Whimsy Stamps is hosting it's annual 31 Nights of Halloween...scroll down for more info. 


Sweet Shaker Card
Here is my first shaker card - sweet before scary - stamped onto watercolor paper and painted with watercolor pencils. 
This card features a few products: 







Easy DIY Instructions
Here are my easy DIY instructions:  





I'd also like to take a moment to mention the embellishments added to the card. The shaker mix is Monster Mash Sprinkletz (NK150) shaker mix from Buttons Galore. Totally adorable and perfect for this crazy shaker.  

I also added a 3D button Bat and spider also from Buttons Galore and More.  These are from the Happy Hauntings 3D button pack HH104. They make perfect finishing touches.



Next up - spooky.  
This card features the  Whimsy Stamps - Build -a-Graveyard Die Set - designed by Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp).  Well actually this is a combo of the sweet and the spooky because I used the sentiments from Spooky Kitties Clear Stamp by Dustin Pike as the stamped sentiments  for the grave stones.   

This is the wonderful way to mix and match products.  I like to keep thinking of ways to combine products to get the most "bang for my buck" as the saying goes. 


Below is an image of the featured die set.  





The cool shaker mix used here is also from Buttons Galore.  It's from their new product line called Jewelz.  I mixed a few different Jewelz  colors together;  Amethyst Jewelz (JZ117)  and the black are Jet Jewelz (JZ129)  


If you are lime me, I needed all the Halloween colors so I bought the combo kit from Buttons Galore.  This is Halloween Jewelz Mix - JZHalloween








I want to highlight that 31 Days of Halloween hosted by the Whimsy Stamps team.  Stay tuned because there are prizes, frightful inspiration and lots of fun.  


Thanks for stopping here today.  Happy crafting.

Halloween Spooky Greetings Card - Spellbinders



Spooky Halloween Card with Scroll Work - Spellbinders 

 Getting my Halloween cards in order.  This year my three Gray cats, "The Grays" will be assisting in the celebrations thanks to Spellbinders. 

I'm combining two collections to create this card: 

Here are images of the dies used today: 

 Open House Boo! Etched Dies from the Halloween CollectionCelebrate Scrollwork Card Builder Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken


While this isn't the likely combination, it's festive and fun and my three Grays are hosting the Halloween party.  

I thought Becca Feken's Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection  would make a surprise tag/card for the scrollwork base.  


Below is the hidden surprise awaiting when the tag is removed.  


The card was embellished with some flat sided, faceted crystals from Buttons Galore's new Jewelz - crystal embellishments "Jet Black" JZ129 also found in the Jewelz Halloween Mix  While there are many interesting and sparkly elements to the Packed Powder shaker mix,  I only needed a few crystals for this card. 





The cards today were created using the paper from 
Echo Park - Halloween Party Collection - 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Below is an image of the front and back of the Spooky Greetings tag.
