Autumn Flower Cart
I want to add some more depth to my composition, so I’m mixing Ground Espresso and Villainous Potion to use as a shadow wash.

Variegated Stitched Pumpkins
The Spellbinders Stitching Die Set for September 2025 is a fun top-down view of pumpkins in three different sizes. It’s called Stitched Pumpkin Tops.
-
Missing Tile Sympathy
I could have used the hexagon die included with the set to create the hole. But I felt that it was too neat. Grief isn’t neat.
-
Peach Pattern Play
When I got the September BetterPress Kit of the Month from Spellbinders, I immediately knew that I wanted to play with the patterns.
-
Little Fish
I used the same silver speckled holographic foil and dark turquoise cardstock for one of the sentiments, “Even little fish make big waves.” It’s such a great sentiment!
-
Turquoise Impression
I glued the turquoise bottle die cut to the back of the embossed bottle, taking care to only spread glue above the score line. This gave me a shaped card that will stand up on its own.
-
Cheerful Kitty
My grey kitty is from Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set by Spellbinders. You can find an introduction to the die set in a previous post.
-
Cozy Sheep
For the background I used the July Embossing Folder of the Month from Spellbinders. It’s called Frosted Stitch.
-
Nautical Motifs
My idea for this card was to create a faux dip dyed background and then BetterPress over it with a nautical motif.
-
Harbor Weave
For this quick and easy card I used the Spellbinders BetterPress Kit for June 2025. It’s called Harbor Weave. I love the round shapes!
-
Mariner’s Weave
Spellbinders June Clubs are all about the ocean and sea. The Embossing Folder of the Month is called Mariner’s Weave. It makes me think of fancy Nordic sweaters with stitches going in different directions.
-
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.
-
Rosegold Birthday
Next I used the large cover plate from the May BetterPress Kit to make an impression on rosegold mirror cardstock. It’s called From A to Z.
-
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
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.
-
Watercolor Butterflies
I painted the butterflies with Chrome Orange (Schmincke) and Cinereous Blue (Sennelier) using flicking motions from the center of the butterflies to create movement and dimension.
-
Blue Note
I dry embossed the Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder Field Notes several times with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide.
-
Wonderful Postage
I created the white outline by using the postage stamp outline from the Spellbinders April 2025 BetterPress Kit of the Month.
-
Adventure with Pooh Bear
I was trying to capture the feeling of being a kid looking forward to weeks of summer school holiday. All the possibilities!
-
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.
-
Jaycee’s Wild Joker
The Joker character has many faces, from the Batman movies to the kitschy Pierrot figurines of the 80s. The Spellbinders Wild Joker Die Set is rooted in playing card illustrations.
-
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
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.

Flowering Tree Giveaway
I created these two cards for an Instagram giveaway. It ends on March 24, 2025. I’d love it if you would participate!
