Bright Cheery Watercolor Cards - Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month

Sincerely Yours - Spellbinders Card Club of the Month

Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month Membership for April 2021 is perfect for reconnecting with friends and family in a traditional way, through the mail.  

This kit is packed with wonderful images, soft cornflower blues, soft pinks and flowers to fill a field but I am focusing on the stamp set that is included in the kit.  


The background of the card was stamped onto watercolor paper then colored with Spellbinders / Fun Stampers Journey Color Splash Watercolor Pencils.    I love these watercolor pencils because they are easy to use and blend.  


Additional Information

The tea/coffee cup stamps were stamped on to watercolor paper  with Fun Stampers Journey  - Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink Pad  and colored using Spellbinders / Fun Stampers Journey Color Splash Watercolor Pencils. 

These pencils are amazing.  The set has an array of colors that capture most every color I need.  The pigmentation is rich and blends so wonderfully.  I do use a paint brush for blending.  I have yet to find a water brush pen that I like.

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.

Lady Bug and Bumble Bee Shaker Cards


Spring is here and I am celebrating the warm weather and the gifts of nature.  I created some shaker cards featuring two of my favorite flying wonders; the bumble bee and the lady bug.  

The fabulous chipboard shaker designs are from Creative Embellishments, and the shaker elements are from Buttons Galore's Sprinkletz collection of shaker mixes and embellishments.  

Here are the shakers featured today; Creative Embellishments Bee Shaker and Creative Embellishments Lady Bug Shaker.  





First up, the Bumble Bee Shaker.  The chipboard shaker has been painted with acrylic paint and filed with Sprinkletz Bumble Bees Shaker Mix  from Buttons Galore.  

The Sprinkletz are fun polymer clay bee shapes perfect for adding as shaker mix.  The card also has been embellished with  black and white Sprinkletz (Inkblot) for decoration. 




Both cards also feature Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for April and Spellbinders Clear Stamp of the Month Club.  I thought the border die from Spellbinders April Club made a darling accent for the bugs flight path.

Next the lady bug shaker card featuring Creative Embellishments Lady Bug Shaker filled with  Buttons Galore-  Very Cherry Sprinkletz and topped with Buttons Galore 3 D Lady Bug Buttons.

The black dots on the lady bug wings are from the Bumble Bee Sprinkletz shaker mix.
