10 cards, Spellbinders' Let Your Heart Soar

So, on the last day of February I'm posting the first 10 cards from the February Spellbinders' card kit of the month, titled "Let Your Heart Soar".

I took quite a few ideas from other card makers, but the most obvious is that I used a bunch of embossing folders (Thanks, Tina, at Cards and Coffee Time)

I pulled out my old sentiment dies and an edge die for this one. There are only so many ways I need to tell someone to let their heart soar, but I always could use some thank-you cards.

I also pulled out this old sentiment from Lawn Fawn, since it really seems appropriate.

I don't know about you, but I'm not sure who I'd send a "Dreaming, one of a kind" card to. But hey, they are already printed. I'm loving the little puffy stickers.

And, the star of the show is this hot-air balloon die, pieced and inlaid just as fine as you please.

I have already made 4 more from this kit, but they are not photographed yet. So, watch this space for some more flying themed cards.  I figure I'll keep going until the March kit is due to arrive. I haven't yet EVER run out of stuff in the kit to create with. This time I'm trying harder!

 

Two more for Whimsical Forest

 

Ok, a couple more from the Spellbinders Whimsical Forest kit.  This was supposed to be a little diversion before the January kit got here. But the January kit arrived and before I could open it up, disaster struck in my closet, in the form of ANOTHER wire shelf loaded with clothes fell off the wall. This has completely thrown me off my cardmaking as I am now required to clean out my closet instead of having fun. Being an adult isn't all it cracked up to be.

Anyway, here are a couple more cards I slipped in before the February kit gets here, sometime early next week. No, I never even opened up the January kit yet. I have several unopened kits, so there's plenty to look forward to.
