Heartfelt Texture
The December Embossing Folder of the Month from Spellbinders features a charming heart-flower pattern that I couldn’t resist painting with Zig watercolor markers. The soft pinks and greens give the design a hand-painted feel, and the sentiment from the Stamp of the Month adds a thoughtful finishing touch. A twine bow and embossed texture complete the look. Have a wonderfully creative day!
A Joyous Christmas
The new Branching Holly embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release adds beautiful texture and depth to this clean, classic holiday card. Paired with layered die cuts and a pop of festive red, it captures that timeless Christmas warmth. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Cozy Wishes for the Season
For this card, I used the October 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month and the Stamp and Die of the Month Club products from Spellbinders. The embossed background pairs beautifully with the bold red house and simple sentiment, creating a clean and cozy holiday card that’s perfect for sending warm wishes this season.
Happy STAMPtember® – Birthday Blooms with a Pop
This birthday card for Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® release features the Stitched Flowers Embossing Folder, masked ink blending, and vibrant gem accents. The bold sentiment strips pop against the textured florals, pulling the whole design together. A cheerful, sparkly card that’s perfect for celebrating someone special!
Frightfully Fun with a Hint of Webby Whimsy!
Card #4 in my Halloween series is a cheerful little fright fest! 🎃 I embossed an older Tim Holtz spider web die into the background for subtle texture, then layered on images from the Tiny Frights stamp set using the new coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release. A grinning pumpkin, crescent moon, and bat bring the spooky vibes—plus a soft ink-blended glow and some sparkly orange gems for good measure! 🧡🕸
EEK! It’s a Skeleton Party…and a Blog Hop!
Card #3 in my Halloween series is bringing the spooky vibes—with a little sass! 💀 I used the Halloween Doodles stamps and coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release to spotlight this cheeky skeleton, potion bottle, and hat. The Sketched Manor from Card #2 makes a subtle cameo in the tone-on-tone embossed background. That giant “EEK!” in neon green? Pure Halloween drama. 🧪🖤
Sending Joy on Paper Sails
This cheerful card was inspired by my talented friend Maggie (@teacher11494), whose geometric designs always spark ideas! I paired her style with Spellbinders’ August Stamp and Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder of the Month to create a clean and colorful layout. The ink-blended blocks bring in playful color, while the layered textures and stamped paper sailboat add charm and movement. It’s a fun mix of whimsy and bold design!
It’s OK to Float Awhile
Need a reminder to pause and breathe? This vibrant handmade card features the August Stamp and Die of the Month Club from Spellbinders. I created the background using my favorite Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers for a bold, expressive splash of color 🌈. That message-in-a-bottle scene? It’s the perfect little escape. 💙
