Hello, artful buddies. Allison Frazier right here. I’m excited to be on the Spellbinders weblog and YouTube channel as we speak sharing two enjoyable methods to make use of the Chompster die set from the Just Add Cake Birthday Cardmaking Kit. One card options solely merchandise from the equipment, and the opposite options a number of further merchandise from my Spellbinders stash. I do know the equipment is named “Just Add Cake,” however you’ll see that simply including cheese may be simply as enjoyable!
For my first card, I used solely merchandise out there within the equipment. Since the Chompster set itself has every part you should make an lovely card, I needed to problem myself and discover distinctive methods to include the opposite die units within the equipment. Believe it or not, I truly used each die set within the equipment, apart from the Make It Count Sentiments. I needed to sacrifice utilizing that die set in favor of the humorous sentiment from the stamp set. When it involves Chompster, he can eat both pizza or a cupcake. Since I had already made a card with a cupcake when the equipment first got here out, the choice was straightforward. It needed to be pizza!
