Hi crafty friends, I hope you are doing fine! Here are very 5 easy simple and colourful ideas for you using the Spellbinders Kits of this month – August 2022
***All the kits used in his post will be available till the end of August when new kits are released.
Amazing Paper Grace
I fell in love with the two (2) largest dies included in the “Peekaboo Trellis Panels” – The Spellbinders APG of this month.
They are to die for!!
The dies ( designed to create 5×7 inches cards) will partially die-cut the paper and because they do not have blades at the sides they can be used to die-cut the gorgeous inlaid patterns on a wide variety of projects.
I only used two of the 13 dies included in this set to make 2 slimline cards ( 7 x 4 inches)
So using the panel die, I die cut a piece of DIY coloured paper.
The paper was made by applying Earth Tones of Liquid Color Burst on a piece of watercolour paper.
I just added a piece of cardstock to the edges to create the front of these cards and I glued them onto a card base.
Cards recipe:
- The Intricate Detail was die-cut using the Amazing Paper Grace – APG
Available at Spellbinders USA – Spellbinders UK - For the sentiments ” Hello” I used Vellum, Gold Mirror Cards and a die from the Small Die of this Month
Available at Spellbinders USA – Spellbinders UK - To add colour, I used Liquid Color Burst Earth Tones
Available at Amazon UK – Canada – USA. - I also used the larger butterfly die included in the Delicate Butterflies die set for one of the cards.

It includes over 200 items to enjoy papercraft and I only used 3 dies included in the die set!! Nooo
What could I do? I love butterflies !!
- So I die cut the butterflies out of a piece of watercolour paper that I coloured using Earth Tones of Liquid Color Burst, I added a golden body and a vellum backing piece.

spellbinders large die of the month
The Spellbinders Large die of the month is called “Strawberry Patch” and it includes 16 cutting dies that will cut 30 pieces as some images are layered.
I simply die-cut a piece of DIY coloured paper made using the Brights Liquid Colour Burst as I was swatching the colours and trying the new medium.
Card Recipe
- Large Die
Available at Spellbinders USA – Spellbinders UK - The sentiment is from the Clear Stamp of this month called “Perfect Floral Bloom”
Available at Spellbinders USA – Spellbinders UK - To add colour: Brights Liquid Colour Burst
The Brights Liquid Colour Burst produces very intense colours but you can blend them to mute the colours.
So while I was experimenting with the medium, I made other DIY paper that I used for the card below.
- To make this card, I also added a die-cut sentiment made using a die from the Small Die – August 2022 called “Outlined Sentiments”
Available at Spellbinders USA – Spellbinders UK/ Europe - I also added an embossed panel made using the Embossing Folder of this month called “Intertwined Lattice “
