Up, Up, and Hello!
Up, up, and hello! ☁️🌈 This cheerful card features products from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release—and it’s all about bold color and soft texture. I colored the hot air balloons with Copic markers for a vibrant, rainbow look, then set them against a dreamy embossed cloud background. A few black splatters and sparkly embellishments add just the right amount of whimsy. Simple, bright, and full of lift! 🎈✨
A Pop of Parrot Personality
This bold and playful card features products from Spellbinders’ Cheerful Chirps collection — and it’s all about that tropical flair! 🦜 I used layered die cuts to build this colorful parrot, blending vibrant greens, blues, and limes for a punchy, dimensional look. The rich navy background adds contrast and texture with a bamboo-inspired embossing pattern that grounds the scene without overpowering it. A few leafy accents and a simple “hello” sentiment complete the look. It’s the perfect anytime card with just the right mix of color, character, and handmade charm!
Set Sail with the Spellbinders June Clubs!
Set sail with the Spellbinders June 2025 Clubs! ⛵ I created two nautical-inspired cards using the Embossing Folder and the Stamp & Die of the Month—one is a fun rocker card (that doubles as a gift tag!) and the other features a bold porthole design. Both cards are packed with texture, waves, and charming nautical details like anchors, swords, and layered sentiments. Whether you’re crafting for summer or just love a good seaside theme, these club kits are sure to inspire! ⚓🌊
Thank You with a Twist – Blackout Technique
This thank-you card features products from Simon Says Stamp’s Moments In Time release — and a bold twist on the Blackout technique! Instead of using traditional black for the background, I opted for a rich navy blue to let the colors shine while keeping things soft and deep. I used the Floral Bundles embossing folder and colored the raised flowers with bright pinks and greens, letting them pop against the moody base. The Giggle Thank You die adds playful charm, and a bit of white twine and pearls finish off the look. Bold, modern, and full of personality — perfect for sending some standout gratitude! 💙
A Sweet “Hi” with Fresh Florals
This cheerful “Hi” card features the May 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month from @teamspellbinders! I paired the subtle embossed texture with bright, die-cut florals for a fresh and layered look. Aqua embellishments and a soft teal background bring a cool, calming vibe—perfect for my teal-loving crafty friends! 💙🌸
The Boldest Crayon
This bright + cheerful card features the May 2025 Clear Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month from @teamspellbinders! I created a rainbow row of stamped and die-cut crayons with a softly blended background and subtle embossed texture. The bold sentiment and playful layout make it perfect for sending a little encouragement—because you are the boldest crayon in the box! 🖍️🌈
Just Because…and Just Beautiful
This vibrant “just because” card features products from the You Are My Favorite release by @SimonSaysStamp 🎨 I watercolored the embossed florals with liquid watercolors and added a whole lot of splatter—white and black—for an artsy, expressive finish. Bold, bright, and perfect for sending a little sunshine! #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
The Sky’s the Limit
This colorful card features the Sky’s the Limit collection by Simon Hurley for @teamspellbinders—and it’s packed with good vibes! 🪁 I created a bold stenciled kite background, added layered clouds, and finished it off with a sweet sentiment that lifts the whole design. Bonus: I made a second card with this collection too—be sure to check back for the details on that card, too! 💙
Sending Cheer
This 4.25″ x 4.25″ mini card is bursting with spring cheer, thanks to the April 2025 Spellbinders Clear Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month! Layered pink and coral florals, a sweet little envelope, and a sentiment full of crafty love make this the perfect card to tuck into a gift bag or attach to a present. The embossed background adds subtle texture, and the compact size makes it extra charming. A small card with big happy vibes!
Hello, Baby
This adorable handmade card features new products from the Little Smiles Collection by Spellbinders! A charming stork delivers a bundled-up baby across a starry embossed sky, with soft layered clouds and a sweet “Hello, baby!” sentiment. Finished with a simple twine bow, this 3D scene is perfect for welcoming a little one, adding to a baby gift, or saving as a keepsake. The dies and embossing folder make it easy to create something truly heartwarming!
