Dimensional Cosmos + a Clever Foil Twist
This card features the stunning cosmos from Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s Summer Solstice Garden Collection at Spellbinders — and wow, do they bring the drama! These dimensional blooms are shaped and shaded for a lifelike effect that truly pops off the card. Because of all that lovely height, this card isn’t mailbox-friendly — it’s best hand-delivered or sent in a box 💌. And check out the sentiment! I created it using leftover foil from a prior BetterPress plate foiling — the negative foil became a second, high-contrast version with white text on a black background. A sweet “thinking of you” moment with texture, color, and a clever twist!

Snail Mail Hugs
This sweet and cheerful card features the April 2025 Spellbinders Clear Stamp & Die of the Month along with the Embossing Folder of the Month—perfect for sending some snail mail hugs! A layered bird holding a mini envelope steals the show, set against a textured embossed background and a vibrant pink banner stamped with tiny envelopes. The sentiment is nestled in greenery with a few sequins for sparkle. It’s a fun and fresh design to brighten anyone’s mailbox!

Chirp! You Crack Me Up!
This playful spring card features products from the Simon Says Stamp “Favorite Things” release! 🐣 I used Copic markers to color the adorable chick, adding shading for extra fluff and dimension. The semi-circle die helped create a clean window opening, giving the chick a fun little space to peek through! Behind the window, I added a soft blue ink-blended background with embossed hearts for texture. The speech bubble and sentiment tie everything together for a lighthearted, cheerful design.
