Spellbinders Merry Wishes Card Kit | 5 Quick Cards

 Hello Everyone!

Today I have an oldie but a goodie! So at the end of last year I purchased a few Spellbinders Christmas card kits in preparation for this year's festive season. I did notice that some of the kits, including the Merry Wishes card kit which I'll be using today, are still in stock and occasionally go on sale. These are great kits for making many cards but I'm just going to show you 5. Be assured you can make way more than this!

For 4 of these cards, I simply used the patterned paper included in the kit and added the ephemera and chip board stickers as desired. On the 5th card, I used the die set that comes with this kit to create the lamp post for a mini slimline card. On two of these cards, I chose to use the Spellbinders Merry Christmas Wishes November 2020 glimmer kit to foil the sentiment for the card. And for 2 of these cards, I used the blank cards supplied in the kit to make an A2 sized card. So this shows you that you can use the cards in the kit yourself or you can use you own card bases in any desired size. 

Here are some more detailed instructions of each card (numbered in the below picture):

 

1) - Adhere gold stripe and red spotted pattern paper to 5" x 7" card base

- add "it's the most wonderful time of the year" card to center

- add various ephemera around card with glue and foam squares

- Add Season's Greetings piece with foam squares

- embellish with gold sequins from kit and clear gems (from dollar store) 

2) - use Sizzix Opulent cardstock in charcoal, ivory, rose gold and gold to die cut lamp post dies and assemble with BearlyArt glue and jewel picker. Attach wreath (from Recollections cardstock), flowers (from Darice Core'dinations  red glitter cardstock) and bow.
- Adhere snowflake pattern paper to 3 1/4" x 6 1/4" card panel with Tombow Mono Dot Runner
