I recently participated in a crafty elements gift exchange hosted by Cards By Kendra and received this beautiful galaxy-themed pattern paper pack. I am infamous for "collecting" pattern paper, but knew I just had to make some cards with this paper before putting the pack away. I also recently received Tim Holtz glow distress grit paste. This is a new medium for me and I don't have many stencils in my stash, but wanted to incorporate this paste in the galaxy backgrounds anyway. I looked through my dies and was able to find a few smaller icons that I was able to cut out of a thicker card stock to create my own disposable "stencils". This worked perfectly to create a few glow-in-the-dark accents on these beautiful galaxy backgrounds! 🌟

Spellbinders October 2020 Dancin' Santa I 5 card designs

Hello & welcome to the newest addition to connecting with MTaylor Creations! I'm excited to be able to bring more to you following my card making adventures, hoping to post regularly and coordinate with some YouTube tutorials. For projects without a coordinating video, more details will be shared on the blog post to help with recreating should you want to CAS any projects. 

For the first post, I'm happy to share Spellbinders Card kit of the Month for October 2020, Dancin' Santa! This is such a cute card kit and I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time I was waiting to receive the kit in the mail after the reveal, checking to ensure the tracking was showing an on-time delivery almost daily. 😊

I quickly opened the package after hearing the mailman drop off at my door to find all of the little embellishments, patterned paper, and dies/die cuts even more darling in person than in the many unboxing videos I had watched up to this day. I immediately began imagining some ideas of what I could create to get my holiday cards started with just 2 months left until Christmas! 

Without further ado, I'd like to share the 5 card designs I created for a total of 10 cards. To get more details on how I put each card together, please check out my YouTube video and be sure to like and subscribe to see more content in the future. Thank you for checking out my blog and hope to see you return soon!
