Clean & Simple Love Songs
I added red glitter glue to three of the hearts. I was tempted to do more, but I stayed strong. I think it’s more impactful because it’s only three.
-

Perfect Blend
Then I added lots of Color Essential Gems in the color Spectrum AB. They’re very pretty with a gold toned iridescence.
-

I’d pick you again
The December BetterPress Kit of the Month includes a plate with 4 sentiments and the coordinating die. They’re all about love and can be used independently from the heart. Very useful!

Jaycee’s Infinity Shakers
I started by stamping the larger animals from Simon Hurley’s Woodland Wildlife Stamp Set on watercolor paper with Distress Oxide in Antique Linen.
-

Doggone Style
This little cutie with his fancy purse is part of the November 2025 Stitching Die of the Month from Spellbinders
-

Fave Girlfriend
The sentiments gave me a Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe, so I watercolored the images in Tiffany Blue and brown.
-

Made With Snowflakes
My vellum strip was longer than the card panel width, so I bent the edges around the panel and attached them with double-sided tape.
-

Pink Magic
I stitched the circle and reindeer nose with three strands of pink variegated floss. The circle segments I stitched with 2 strands of white embroidery floss.
-

Craftoween 2025
The die set for day 2 contains 8 dies that create a raven wearing a monocle, bowtie and top hat, while standing on a skull.
-

Introducing Fergus
Stitching is faster and more reliable than gluing. Next time I’ll stitch as much as possible.
-

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.
