Everyone needs birthday cards in their stash...ALL THE TIME! Which made me buy the Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit. I love the monster die set in it so I decided to wish Spellbinders a happy birthday with a pizza eating monster!

Die Cutting! Card Backgrounds, Images and Sentiments!


I love die cutting! There is a new Spellbinders Lisa Horton Collection called Summertime that has dies to create backgrounds, 


images, 


and even sentiments.


And although the collection is called Summertime, I hope you can see how versatiled it is!


Using die cutting to create cards is my favorite way to combine colors of cardstock and quickly create layered cards!


Check these cards out in my video!


The supplies I used are listed below. Thanks for stopping by!
