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!
Hello Sunshine 🍋 – Two Takes on La Dolce Vita
These two cards were created with Spellbinders’ La Dolce Vita collection and inspired by all things sunshine and citrus! 🍋 Each design features layered lemons and delicate blossoms, paired with a beautiful embossed background for a Mediterranean tile feel. I played with two different looks: one bold and dramatic with a navy base, and one light and fresh with a white-on-white palette. The “Hello Sunshine” sentiment ties them together perfectly. Whether you love contrast or a soft glow, these dies make it easy to add a burst of brightness to your cardmaking!
Set Sail with the Spellbinders June Clubs!

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! ⚓🌊

A Bold, Geometric Hello
🌟 This clean and graphic card features the You Are My Favorite release from @SimonSaysStamp, and I’m loving the bold look! 🖤 I used the new A2 Rectangles die set to create a geometric layout from layered rectangles and topped it off with a bold “Hello” and a few enamel dots.
