    When I first saw the Spellbinders Counting Sheep Stamp & Die Set, I knew I wanted to make the sheep out of felt.

  • Hextra Special Friend

    Hextra Special Friend

    I’m starting today’s card by stamping this cute Witchcrafting scene from Trinity Stamps. It’s meant for Halloween, but I’m going to color it as a Galentine’s card.

  • Snowdrop Note

    Snowdrop Note

    If this card looks familiar, you’d be right. The snowdrop panel is from December.

    Spellbinders Love on the Rocks is such a pretty die set! This is the second time I’m using it.

    Using ephemera for cards is quick and easy! I started by tracing around my two quokkas and cutting out some heavy, white cardstock.

    The theme of the January 2025 video hop is Minimalism and I’ve chosen to use the Spellbinders BetterPress of the Month for January for my card.

  • Vivid Blooms

    Vivid Blooms

    I started out by studying the arrangement on the packaging. It uses one of each of the flowers and a couple of the smaller leaves. So that’s what I die cut from Hammermill cardstock.

  • Winnie the Pooh

    Winnie the Pooh

    I love Winnie the Pooh and the original illustrations! So I jumped at the chance of creating cards with the Classic Pooh Simple Stories and Spellbinders collab.

    This is a pretty simple card, consisting only of two dark purple pieces of cardstock plus the sentiment and some sequins.

  • Jaycee’s Hearts

    Jaycee’s Hearts

    As soon as I saw Jaycee’s playing deck-themed release with Spellbinders, I knew what I wanted to create with it. With Valentine’s Day on my mind, I chose the heart dies for my first card.

  • Birthday UFO

    Birthday UFO

    Simon Hurley’s Space Adventure release with Spellbinders is so much fun! I created a birthday card with a UFO, two aliens and a matching sentiment.

  • Amanda’s Bunnies

    Amanda’s Bunnies

    First I stamped all four bunnies from Trinity Stamps Baby Bunny Stamp Set a couple of times on Hammermill cardstock with Memento Dye Ink in Rich Cocoa. This is an alcohol marker friendly ink.

  • Social Media Calendar & To Do List

    Social Media Calendar & To Do List

    To help me stay on track, I’ve designed my own weekly calendar and to-do list. You can print it in color or black and white. It prints in landscape format on letter-sized paper.

    I started by stamping and heat embossing the big Poinsettia stamp set twice: once with gold embossing powder on Hammermill and once with Distress Embossing Glaze in Speckled Egg on vellum.

    Merry Giveaway Cards

    I cut out the A2 Cover Die from an old background. The background was stamped with a Taylored Expressions background stamp and heat embossed in light blue.

  • California Santa

    California Santa

    I want my Santa to sit at the bottom of an A2 card with the sentiment above him. It’s a pretty big sentiment, so it’s important to plan out my card.

  • Oval Holiday Shaker

    Oval Holiday Shaker

    I cut the oval base layer three times from red foil cardstock and once from clear acetate. Next I cut the oval frame three times from red glitter foam.

    BetterPress First Impressions

    But this blog post is mostly about taking the BetterPress for a spin. I own a number of plates already, because they foil fantastically well.
