  • Abstract Thinking

    Abstract Thinking

    Abstract Study creates a large-scale pattern that adds interest, without stealing the show. I can see using this one for many of embossing folder techniques.

  • Spring Days

    Spring Days

    This is the last card in this series of cards using the April BetterPress Kit, Post Edge Expression, and the Field Notes 3D Embossing Folder from Spellbinders.

  • Embossing Folder Friend

    Embossing Folder Friend

    For the sentiment I used the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month for August 2024. I like the chunky font and that it has shadow dies for all the words.

  • Blue Note

    Blue Note

    I dry embossed the Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder Field Notes several times with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide.

  • Wonderful Postage

    Wonderful Postage

    I created the white outline by using the postage stamp outline from the Spellbinders April 2025 BetterPress Kit of the Month.

  • Mixed Media Smile

    Mixed Media Smile

    First I placed the letter from the Spellbinders April 2025 BetterPress Kit of the Month in the top right corner, inked it up with Versamark and heat embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Detail in Silver.

  • Sparkling Santa

    Sparkling Santa

    This is the second time I’m using Sizzix Tim Holtz Santa Greetings Die Set. This time I went high contrast with it.

  • More Gorgeous You

    More Gorgeous You

    First I popped the eye shadow palette up on foam tape at the bottom of the card. Then I aligned the mascara with it on the left and popped it up with more foam tape.

  • Wedding Copperplate

    Wedding Copperplate

    In this card, the beautiful calligraphy by Paul Antonio takes center stage. I foiled the BetterPress Plate ‘On Your Wedding Day’ in pale blue.

  • Gorgeous You

    Gorgeous You

    This is such a fun, girly die set! It’s called Spellbinders Gorgeous You Makeup and it’s part of the Gorgeous You Collection.

  • Flower Cart

    Flower Cart

    I selected palette 120 from the Color Cube Volume 1 and used the matching Ohuhu Alcohol Markers to color my white cardstock.

  • 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.

  • Snowdrop Shaker

    Snowdrop Shaker

    The snowdrop plate is part of the January Set of Spellbinders Florals Through the Year Collection. So I created a snow-themed shaker card with it.

  • Chrysanthemum Cards

    Chrysanthemum Cards

    I associate chrysanthemums with cemeteries. So it was natural to use the Chrysanthemum Press Plates for sympathy cards.

  • A Yeti Christmas

    A Yeti Christmas

    I’m now designing for Spellbinders. You know I love their products, so it’s a great fit for me!

  • Felt Owl Friend

    Felt Owl Friend

    Felt on cards seems to be having a moment. I wanted to use it on an upcoming project, so this is a practice card.

  • A Monster Study in Teal

    A Monster Study in Teal

    I’m still trying to reclaim Halloween tropes from the overdone, traditionally-discordant colors. Halloween cards can be tasteful, really!

  • For the Love of Paisley

    For the Love of Paisley

    Paisley is my hands-down favorite abstract pattern! So of course I needed the Glimmer Kit of the Month for June ‘22.

  • Dainty Ghost

    Dainty Ghost

    I glued the first vellum piece to the back of the pattern paper slightly offset, so it looks fuller. Next I glued the second vellum piece offset in the other direction to the back.

  • Empathetic Kittens

    Empathetic Kittens

    I created these cards using Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set and leftover die cuts from recent projects.

  • Stencil All the Things

    Stencil All the Things

    My idea for this card is to create a floral wreath out of white cardstock and vellum. I’ve seen other designers do that and I always love the results!

  • Tropical Birthday

    Tropical Birthday

    ‘Things With Wings’ is the theme for my June 2024 YouTube cardmaking video hop. My starting point was the Spellbinders die set Tropical Friends.

  • Jaycee’s Cards

    Jaycee’s Cards

    I was going for a cyanotype effect and used Ranger Archival Ink in the color Cobalt. Archival ink on a firm linen ink pad is pretty easy to work with.
