Counting Down to the 25th in Style!
A bold and festive way to mark the 25th! This handmade holiday card features the Suzanne Hue Texture & Foliage collection from Spellbinders, with vibrant die-cut holly leaves and a bold green “25” front and center. ✨ A kraft background adds a rustic touch while shiny gold pearls and bright white berries bring in that classic Christmas sparkle. It’s a little bit modern, a little bit traditional, and a whole lot of merry! 🎄
Double the Fun – Mid Century Style
Geometric goodness, retro vibes, and double the technique fun! I used the Mid Century Elemental Plate from the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release to create this clean and modern fall card. 🍁 I die cut colorful shapes for the top and embossed the card front using the same plate with a rubber embossing pad. It’s a fresh twist on a timeless design! 🧡💛🤎
Poinsettia Perfection with a Pop of Holiday Cheer
This joyful holiday card features layered poinsettias and playful splatter details using the Lisa Horton – All About Christmas Collection from Spellbinders! 🎄 The bold red background and vibrant green foliage make the design pop, while the dimensional black sentiment ties everything together. It’s festive, fresh, and full of holiday cheer! 🌺✨
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. 💙
Bold Blooms & Big Smiles – Plus and Instagram Hop
Bold blooms and bright colors take center stage in this card I created with the Delicate Blossoms background stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s “Happy Camper” release 🌸. I colored the florals with Copic markers, added crisp black accents, and finished with a simple sentiment strip. It’s cheerful, fresh, and perfect for sending a smile! 🖤 See all the design details now on the blog!

A cozy scarf, a little Santa hat, and layered sentiments bring warmth and charm to this wintery design. Simple, sweet, and full of Christmas joy. ❄️💚
Shoot for the Moon!
This rocket-fueled card took a fun twist when some wayward white splatter created the perfect trail behind my astronaut pup 🚀. I used products from the new Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release to build this space scene, complete with a Copic-colored Earth and deep galaxy background. Sometimes the best details are the ones you didn’t plan! 🌍✨
An Apple for the Teacher
School is (almost) back in session and it’s the perfect moment to celebrate those amazing educators! I created this sweet teacher-themed card using the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release.

I colored the images with Copic markers and built the design around a bold red strip that gives it a pop of classroom color. 🍎✂️
