A Symphony of Creativity, Musical Cards That Delight
Hello friends, I’m Lorena Wakefield, and I’m so excited to share my latest project as a guest designer on the Spellbinders blog! Today I’m showcasing the fun and versatile Musical Notes Collection by Bibi Cameron for Spellbinders. This collection is full of charm and perfect for celebrating music lovers, birthdays, and any occasion that deserves a happy tune. I created three very different cards, all inspired by instruments and melodies.
Colorful Notes for My Brother
For the first card, I wanted something playful and bright. I die-cut the wavy music staff in black and added a rainbow of colorful notes dancing across it. A few enamel dots sprinkled in made the card even more cheerful. To finish, I stamped the sentiment “Brother, You Rock” in the corner. This card feels like a burst of joy, perfect for sending a happy surprise to a sibling.
3D Guitar Box Card
The star of the set is definitely this red guitar! I die-cut and assembled the pieces into a 3D box card that opens up, and the surprise is that inside it hides a birthday message. I added gold accents to the guitar for an elegant touch and included all the string details for a realistic finish. This one was so much fun to make, and it’s sure to be a keepsake for the recipient.
Grand Piano of Thanks
For the last card, I created a grand piano silhouette in classic black and white. The die-cut keyboard at the bottom sets the stage, and I added a cluster of pastel flowers on top for a soft and pretty contrast. Musical notes float upward, and the sentiment “A little happy note to say thank you” ties everything together. It’s an elegant card that would work beautifully as a thank you for a music teacher, mentor, or friend.
I had so much fun making this musical trio; each card tells its own little story, from playful to elegant to surprising. The Bibi’s Musical Notes Collection makes it easy to strike just the right chord for your projects.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these ideas inspire you to create something harmonious for your next crafty session!
Happy crafting,
Lorena Wakefield

Such great cards!
Beautiful cards, thank you for sharing!
This is such a perfect find for me. Our grandson is turning 14 this month and is an exceptional pianist. No more cutesy cards for him, he’s not a baby anymore. I had to find something that would catch his eye and that he’d love. The mini musical instruments set was perfect! I can easily draw in the top portion of the grand piano by hand and cut it out since I didn’t see it included. All the example cards were awesome.
