For my first card, I created a shaker window element on the front of my card base by die cutting acetate with the main die. Since the acetate was very thick, I trimmed it out the rest of the way with snips. Then I added another die cut element on top, that I had inked up with some Gina K Skeleton Leaves Ink.

Next, I added a sequin mix from my stash to my card in a little pile, doubled up on some foam tape under the shaker window and popped it all up over the sequins. Then, I pulled out some of the adhesive butterflies and stuck them on the front of the window. And to finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment, “hello lovely” to the front with some Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink.

For my second card, I stamped out the jar image from the stamp set and colored it in with blue-green Copic markers. I stamped some of the butterflies inside the jar and colored them in, too, with one extra outside the jar. Then, I fussy cut it all out and set them aside. Next, I added some Pool Party ink from Hero Arts in a gradient from the bottom corner. Over that, I stenciled in the leave by die cutting them out and using the negative space as a stencil.

Then, I added a few strips of the patterned paper from the pad in the kit along the bottom. Next, I die-cut the Lovely word twice in white and once in metallic cardstock and stacked them up for dimension. I stamped just the word “hello” on the jar and adhered the die cut “Lovely” under it.

To finish off the card, I colored in the sprigs with Copic markers, adhered them to the front of the jar and popped everything up with dimensional square adhesives from the kit.

For my last card, I stamped out the kitty and sentiment from the kit onto the front of one of the included card bases using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. Next, I colored in the cat image with cool gray Copic markers and added grass around him with a Mono Drawing Pen. Then, I die cut the flowers several times from white cardstock. I adhered them in an array around the kitty, colored in the centers with a blue-green Copic marker, and added a stem with my Mono Drawing Pen.

Finally, I stamped butterflies up above the kitty with Blue Raspberry ink from Gina K. Then, I added some black definition to the centers and antennae with a Mono Drawing Pen.

This kit has sooo much more to offer, than these three cards can show! You can find tons more inspiration on the Spellbinders website! Also, my friend Marie Heiderscheit, always has some amazing inspiration available on her blog, here!
