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.
This is a 5″ by 6 1/2 ” Christmas card. The pattern paper is “Say Freeze Fige” a 48 paper pad by Recollections from Michaels. The dies are from Spellbinders: Reindeer and Sleigh, Create a Flake Six, and Holiday Sentiments. The gold foil paper is from Hobby Lobby
This a 6″ by 6″ card. The large beautiful die is “Label 48 Decorative Elements” die by Spellbinder. The “Happy Holiday” is also a Spellbinder die. The bling is from Queen & Co.

This gift bag is from a video by “My Sister Scrapper” on YouTube – “Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate Gift Bag and Matching Cards”. I got the bag from Hobby Lobby and the measurements for decorating the bag are: Front and Back pattern paper 7 ¾ inches by 8 inches Top Punched Strip 2 ½ inches by 7 ¾ inches Cardstock strip ½ inches by 7 ¾ inches Small strip of pattern paper ¼ inches by 7 ¾ inches. The punch used for the top strip was from Martha Stewart, and the doily was made by a 6 inch Mini8Punch by We R Memories Keepers. The alphabet letters are a “Victorian Letters” Die from Spellbinders and the carolers are a Bigz die “Victorian Carolers” by Tim Holtz. I used a clear “Wink of Stella ” brush on the letters.
This card is another example of the beautiful layering that a Spellbinders die can create. The Spellbinders die used was Decorative Labels Twenty-Eight. The embossing powder was “Princess Gold” by Ranger and the stamp was by Stampabilities. The bling used was from Queen & Co. – rhinestones “Pretty in Pink”.
This card and the card above it are examples how easy it is to make exquisite layered cards by using Spellbinders dies. The Spellbinders die used to make the 3 layers on the card is the beautiful Romantic Rectangles Two die. The embossing powder used was “Princess Gold” by Ranger and the stamp was by Stampabilities.
The “Come Away with Me” collection from Graphic 45 was used to make this Bon Voyage card. “Stormy Sky” and “Vintage Photo” were the Distress Inks used on the card and the die was “Around the World” by Spellbinders.
