I love crafting…matter of fact, I have another blog that is solely dedicated to crafts! I dabble in all kinds of different crafting mediums but my favorites are paper crafts, especially scrapbooking.
Today I wanted to introduce you all to a fun collection of craft supplies from Spellbinders. The supplies that I will be showing you today are all from the Celebrations product line and are readily available via various retailers online and offline.
The collection that I am featuring is by Richard Garay and the entire collection includes dies, stamps, paper, inks & accessories that are all coordinated to work perfectly together. You can create one-of-a-kind greeting cards, gifts, scrapbook layouts and more.
For the review I received 2 of the little craft kits to check out for all of you. I received the Celebrate Party Hat Card kit and the Best Day Ever Treat Bag kit.
Each of the kits includes everything that you need except for a glue stick and scissors. You will need to supply those. In addition, they came with a full-color instruction sheet with step-by-step directions.
I first made the Celebrate Party Hat Card using all of the supplies from the kit. This took me less than 3 minutes to complete. I then moved onto the Best Day Ever Treat Bag project which took me less than 2 minutes to complete. Total time invested…5 minutes if that.
I think the Celebrate Party Hat Card is cute & adorable. However, I think the Best Day Ever Treat Bag is dumb. Sorry, just being honest here. I would BUY the party hat card kit but I would NOT buy the treat bag kit at all.
I do want to admit, I am a very experienced paper crafter and I own a ton of crafting supplies. I am very picky on what I purchase and I feel that the quality of materials in the cardmaking kit are “good” but the quality of materials in the treat bag are “poor”. I definitely could of came up with something prettier than that. Plus, the tags for the treat bag were poorly printed onto the cardstock…not a nice, crisp & clear image at all.
So, for this review…I am giving the cardmaking kit a 3 out of 5 stars and the treat bag a 1 out of 5 stars on my rating scale. I hate to be negative in any of my reviews but I simply was NOT impressed with that treat bag project at all.
In addition to the 2 kits…I received a little packet of clear rubber stamps with celebration “wording” on them. I opened them up and I thought the quality was terrible. I own a LOT of rubber stamps (traditional and clear) and these were not great. I am going to donate them to a local shelter that I know who has a women’s scrapbooking group for them to use.

I am glad that you are honest in your reviews. It really helps us seldom crafters know what to pick and what to avoid.. The card kit does look cute.
Your welcome Sherry. I thought the card kit was cute…but that little paper bag was lack-luster in my opinion.
Wow. I’m sorry these didn’t work out. The kits look so cute, but I know that quality differs greatly from company to company. For crafts I want something durable that is going to be clear and look well put together. Something that will make me want to show it off and inspire me to do more. Thank you for your honest review.
