  • Faceted Petals

    Faceted Petals

    This card builds on a previous thank-you card. This one adds more layers, texture and colors.

  • Minimalist Sympathy Card

    Minimalist Sympathy Card

    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.

  • Moody Thanks

    Moody Thanks

    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.

  • Stitchmas: Day 9 – 12

    Stitchmas: Day 9 – 12

    This year I’m co-hosting an Instagram hop using the Spellbinders Stitchmas Advent Calendar. We’re hopping on even days, starting on December 2nd.

  • BetterPress First Impressions

    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.

  • Stitchmas: Day 5 – 8

    Stitchmas: Day 5 – 8

    I cut the star background from Hammermill Cardstock and the segments from Recollections Gold Foil Cardstock.

  • Spellbinders Love on the Rocks

    Spellbinders Love on the Rocks

    Today I’m participating in Spellbinders launch of the Love on the Rocks Collection. For this card I used the die set called Love on the Rocks and the press plate sentiments.

  • A Slimline Christmas

    A Slimline Christmas

    I had a dual purpose for these cards. I needed to create a card with an old kit or subscription for an Instagram hop and I needed sample cards for my next giveaway.

  • Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4

    Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4

    My plan was to create round ornaments with my stitched die cuts, using wooden coasters as my base. I started by painting the edges with gold paint.

  • Reindeer Shaker Card

    Reindeer Shaker Card

    I’m still charmed by Simon Hurley’s Woodland Wildlife Stamp and Die Set. So for an Instagram challenge with a snow globe theme, I watercolored the reindeer from it.

  • Yeti Anniversary

    Yeti Anniversary

    I created a felt yeti with Rocky, the Dancin’ Yeti for his launch. But I also wanted to color him with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

  • Peach & Purple Mums

    Peach & Purple Mums

    For these two cards, I foiled the flower in peach and purple. Then I added some ink blending with a pale blue dye ink centered on the flower.

  • 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.

  • Christmas Boutique

    Christmas Boutique

    When I got this die set I felt kind of meh about it. But now that I’ve created a card with it, I think it’s super cute! It was fun to put together, too.

  • 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.

  • Green Craftmas

    Green Craftmas

    First I used my Pinkfresh Solid Hot Foil Plate with all the cool-toned leftover foil to make my own foiled cardstock.

  • 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.
