Spellbinders | Up, Up, and Adorable!

Spellbinders card using the Up and Away die set to create a scene card with a boy flying a kite.

Today, we’re soaring high with a sweet and sunny scene card, perfect for celebrating birthdays or welcoming a baby boy into the world! 🌤️🎈

This design features a playful little boy flying his kite beneath a big smiling sun and a puffy white cloud—an instant mood-lifter in card form. All the elements were crafted using the brand-new Up and Away die set from the Sky is the Limit collection by none other than the crafting wunderkind himself, Simon Hurley.

Handmade card featuring a die-cut boy flying a kite, with a die-cut sun and cloud above. Background is a soft aqua watercolor wash. Card uses teal and aqua cardstock in a playful, kite and sky-themed scene.

Color Me Happy

The card showcases a bright and breezy color palette, with Waterfall and Teal Topaz cardstock stealing the spotlight. These shades of aqua and teal give off major sky-blue vibes that feel both fresh and fun.

Background with a Breeze

For the sky, I created a soft, dreamy wash using Pool Party Reactive Ink on watercolor paper. I used a flat brush for that gentle sweep—like a serene spring sky just waiting for a kite to dance across it.

Die Cut Delight

Every piece on this card—from the kite and the boy to the sun and cloud—is die cut and carefully layered for a dimensional scene that really pops. The clean lines and whimsical style of the dies make them a joy to work with. And let’s be honest: the Up and Away set is pure magic!

Perfect for…

  • Baby showers (especially for little boys!) The repeating aqua and teal color palette reinforce the baby theme.
  • Kiddo birthdays
  • Or just sending sunshine and smiles on a cloudy day

This one’s going into my “make again soon” pile—because how can you not love a card that makes you want to run outside and fly a kite?

Happy crafting, and may your skies stay sunny! ☀️🪁
