Sending Joy on Paper Sails

Spellbinders | August 2025 Clubs
08/13/2025

Hi everyone!

This card was inspired by my friend and fellow designer Maggie (@teacher11494), who has a total gift for bold, geometric designs! I paired that graphic style with playful elements from Spellbinders’ August Stamp and Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder of the Month to create a cheerful and slightly nautical design.

💡 Design Highlights:
• Inspired by the queen of geometric design – Maggie (Instagram: @teacher11494)! 👑
• Color-blocked background using soft square ink-blended panels 🌈
• Textured embossing adds subtle movement both in AND behind the main panel
• Black twine and sequins add a modern, sparkly finish ✨
• The heat-embossed paper sailboat and sentiment bring a bit of whimsy ⛵

This card is proof that a little color, texture, and clever design can make your creativity set sail! 🖤

I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
