Haunted with Heart: A Dimensional Take on Sketch Manor
Card #2 in my spooky series is here—and this haunted Sketch Manor has serious dimension! 🏚 Using the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps, I layered the stamped manor piece-by-piece for a 3D look. Even the front doors open (in true haunted fashion)! 🚪 Paired with a glowing moon and a comforting sentiment, this card mixes eerie and heartfelt in the best way. 💛
Clean, Simple, and a Little Spooky: Boo to You!
Spooky season is here, and I’m kicking it off with this clean and simple Halloween card featuring the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps! 🦉 I kept the design minimal but playful, with a Copic-colored owl in a witch hat, a softly blended background, and a bold “boo” to make you smile. 💚🧙♀️ This is the first in a 7-card series, so stay tuned for more spooky fun coming soon!
Moonlight & Mischief
Moonlight, mischief, and a whole lot of cuteness! This Halloween card features that wide-eyed black cat from Spellbinders’ Simon Hurley Spooktacular Collection, set against a glowing moon inked in yellows with just a hint of green to tie in the cat’s festive hat. It’s playful, a little spooky, and totally ready to cast some crafty spells!
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! 💀🌕👻
You Light Up My Life
This card is bringing the fireworks! 🎆 Featuring products from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release, it’s all about color, cuteness, and a whole lot of heart. Two sweet critters take in the show under a bright sky filled with stamped fireworks (with a little sparkle added, of course ✨). The circular window adds depth, while a forest tree line keeps things grounded. A sweet sentiment ties it all together: You light up my life! 💚
Celebrating Under the Stars
Cue the sparklers! 🎇 This celebration card features the cutest crew from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release—ready to light up the night under a galaxy sky.

A Wreath of Love for Mother’s Day
This floral card features the You Are My Favorite release from @SimonSaysStamp and is perfect for Mother’s Day 💙 I built a sweet wreath of tiny blue blooms around a bold sentiment and added just a touch of sparkle to finish it off. Simple, heartfelt, and full of love. #SSSYouAreMyFavorite

This 4.25″ x 4.25″ mini card is bursting with spring cheer, thanks to the April 2025 Spellbinders Clear Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month!

Hello, Baby
This adorable handmade card features new products from the Little Smiles Collection by Spellbinders!

Elegant Wedding Cards
I created these elegant wedding cards using the @teampellbinders “Copperplate on Your Wedding Day Sentiments” collection, foiling the stunning script in Polished Brass for a timeless shine. To add a personal touch, I accented each card with different floral die cuts from my Spellbinders stash. One design features soft blues and navy with a hexagon frame, while the other showcases warm orange florals with a delicate gold twine bow. Both are perfect for celebrating love in style!
