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. The garden scene is tucked into an apple die from my stash, making it just right for back-to-school. I colored the images with Copic markers and built the design around a bold red strip that gives it a pop of classroom color. 🍎✂️
Comfort, Joy, and a Mug Full of Magic
This card brings all the retro holiday feels! 🎅☕ I used products from Spellbinders’ Wonderland Collection to create this nostalgic design featuring a vintage-style Santa mug – complete with whipped cream on top! Surrounded by bright gifts, a whimsical tree, and a sprinkle of sparkle, it’s all about comfort & joy with a handmade twist. Perfect for anyone who loves classic Christmas charm! 🎄✨
Fa La La & Frosty Fun
Fa la la and frosty cheer! ⛄🎶 This winter card features products from Spellbinders’ Wonderland Collection, with a joyful trio of snowmen singing their hearts out. I added embossed snowflakes, glittery snowbanks, and pastel scarves to bring this cozy scene to life. A foiled “Fa La La La La” sentiment adds the perfect finishing touch. This one is packed with charm and sparkle for the season. ❄️💙
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 Rainbow Ride to Birthday Magic
This birthday card is pure magic! 🦄🌈 Featuring the Pocket Ponies set from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like Yourelease, it stars a flying pegasus soaring over a rainbow with glittery wings and a whole lot of personality.

Rainbows & Cheerful Wings
This playful card features products from the Cheerful Chirps collection by Spellbinders — and it’s full of color and personality! 🐦🌈 I used my Copic markers to blend rainbow gradients across the birds’ bodies, giving them each a unique, vibrant look. They’re perched on simple branches with sweet white flowers, all set against a clean white background that lets the colors shine. A popped-up panel and a few sparkly embellishments add just the right touch of dimension and shimmer. This card is sunshine, color, and a whole lot of happy all in one!
