I am so behind on my blog posts.  I’ve got cards scattered all over my craft room just waiting for me to do a post.  Once that’s done I can take a few cards to my antique booth and package up the rest for donation.  So in an effort to catch up I’ve picked out a few of my favorite cards from each “collection” and plan to do a couple short and simple posts.

This batch of cards were made using Spellbinders Together is Best September 2021 monthly card kit.  As I know I’ll never “finish” the kit in one sitting, I focused on the die cuts, stickers and other ephemera.  I’ll save the stamp and die sets for the next time I pull out the kit.

This card used a simple black and white paper as the background and a gold foiled chipboard picture frame as the center for several pink ephemera pieces.

This card features another chipboard picture frame as the center of the card.  Here I added the family of nesting dolls inside the frame to create a “family” portrait.

Here I used a green tone-on-tone paper to create a panel for several ephemera pieces so they don’t get lost on the busy floral background.

This card features the same layout but by using larger ephemera pieces and a gold puffy sticker sentiment they don’t get lost on the busy papers.

I did make a few more cards with this kit, but it didn’t even make a dent in all of the die cuts, stickers and chipboard the kit includes.  I’ll have plenty to work with the next time I pull this kit out.
