I have an amazing hoard of cardstock, pattern paper and dies, that I have collected over the last 9 years! I decided to give my non-papercrafting family and friends a “Super Holiday Coupon” in order to reduce some of my stash. I will be posting some of the projects on my blog over the next two years.

Spellbinders has started a “Card Kit of the Month Club”! The kit is $35.00 with free shipping and a 3 month subscription. It has dies, paper, ribbons, tags, glitter, glue dots, stamps, and embellishments to make 10 cards. The cards are 4 1/8″ by 5 3/4″ and 10 envelopes are provided. I received three project ideas with detailed how-to instructions, and I also have access to tutorials on http://www.makersmart.com/.
I am so excited that Spellbinders has started a “Die of the Month Club”. The monthly dies cost $12.50 with free shipping and a 3 month subscription. The “December 2015” dies are the greenery under the flowers. There were 3 similar dies in the kit, and I used two of them on the card. The website for the dies is http://www.makersmart.com/. I love the idea of getting beautiful new dies every month. There are also informative videos on ways to use the dies on the website. I also used “Standard Circles Small” and “Petite Scalloped Circles Large” by Spellbinders on the card. The cardstock on the 5″ by 6 1/2 ” card was “Just Peachy”, “Jelly Bean Green”, and “Ivory” by Gina K. Designs. The pattern paper was the “Make a Wish” page from the “Time to Celebrate” Collection by Graphic 45. The flowers were by Recollection and the ink was “Sweet Leaf” from Close to My Heart.
Hanukkah begins at sundown today and last for eight nights. The menorah die is by Die-namic Dies. The two Spellbinders dies are Captivating Squares and Classic Squares Large. The pearls are by Queen & Co.
