Classic Holiday Charm with a Botanical Twist
This holiday card brings together timeless elegance and fresh botanical flair 🌿✨. I used the “Happiest Holidays” BetterPress plate from the Spellbinders Yana’s City Holiday Collection, pairing it with the brand-new Dina Wakley BetterPress Inks for bold, beautiful color. Framed in navy and finished with a soft bow and holly accents, it’s a festive greeting with classic charm and modern polish 💌🎄.
S’more Fun with Friends
Campfire vibes and critter cuteness? Yes, please! 🏕️ I created this playful scene using products from Simon Says Stamp’s new “Happy Camper” release. The critters, tent, and camper were colored with Copic markers, while the softly blended background sets the scene. It’s the perfect reminder that everything is s’more fun with friends! 🔥💚
All Dressed Up and Ready to Howl!
All dressed up and ready to howl! 🐾🎃 I used the new Pupkin die set from Spellbinders to create this playful Halloween card featuring a pumpkin-costumed pup, glowing moon, and spooky silhouette. The ink-blended background sets the mood while tiny details like the pup’s layered costume and skull accessory bring the whole thing to life. Cute, a little creepy, and totally festive — this one’s got all the Halloween vibes! 💀🌕👻
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!
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!
