  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hello Pumpkin!

    Hello Pumpkin!

    The scene I was visualizing needed a frame of some sort. After browsing through my Spellbinders bin, I selected a die set called Essential Arches.

  • Spellbinders Fall Warehouse Sale

    Spellbinders Fall Warehouse Sale

    Here’s my haul from the Spellbinders Fall Warehouse Sale. All these goodies set me back $62.
