Spellbinders December Card Kit

 Happy Monday!  I'm popping in to share four cards that I made with the December Spellbinders card kit.  This kit is called Beauty is Everywhere and it is GORGEOUS!  You can sign up to get the card kit or any of the other Spellbinders club kits right here.   This will be the last time I share cards made with the monthly card kit.  I love working with the card kits, but it was time for me to switch things up.  Starting in January I will be sharing projects made with the Glimmer kit, the stamp and die kit and a brand new club kit that I'm very excited about!   Now... on to the cards!

I think this first card is my favorite of the four that I made.  When I saw the die cut butterflies in the kit I had something else in mind, but then I realized that here was enough to fill a card front.   I thought the beautiful black and white floral patterned paper was the perfect backdrop and so I went for it.  I used two of the die cut sentiments from the kit, as well.   You can't see it in the photo, but the butterflies have glitter on them so they sparkle in the light!

This card features more of the pretty pattern paper, a layered floral embellishment and embellishments that I created with two of the dies included in the kit.  The butterfly and the lacy border piece are dies from the kit.  The butterfly is a two piece set.  A solid butterfly and then and insert to create the detail.  I die cut the solid butterfly from pink glitter cardstock and the insert from white, layered them and adhered to the card.  I just love that butterfly die set and can't wait to use it again!

This card features a chipboard frame, another layered floral embellishment and an image from the stamp set.  I backed the chipboard frame with the patterned paper and then used the rest for my card front.  I added the floral embellishments, the die cut bow and the sentiment that I stamped in watermark ink and heat embossed in black.  I them trimmed out the sentiment and added it to the card front.   The smaller flower/leaf cluster in the upper corner of the frame was created by cutting down another layered embellishment and trimming leaves off another die cut.  I think it balances out the card perfectly.

There are so many pretty papers in the 6x6 pad included in the kit and this one just jumped out at me.  I covered the front of my card base with the paper and then layered several different die cut embellishments to the card front.   There are pretty matte and shiny pink sequins in the kit so I used two matte and one shiny sequin to finish off the card.  

I hope you enjoyed my cards.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
