Day In Full Bloom

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I am sharing a Trifold Building Block Card using products from Spellbinders February All Clubs Crate.

For the image on the front (left) of the card, I used the Press & Foil Club Kit ... From Ink to Petal. Normally this kit comes with a roll of foil, but this month we received a stencil so we could do the stencil portion of the image, 

I opted to foil my plate using the pink foil included in the Satin Pastels Glimmer Foil pack. I love how the glimmered portion of the image is pink the same as the stencilled tulips.

The sentiment is also included in the kit, and for this I used white foil as the pink wasn't as visible as the white.

For all the pink panels on this card I used the 3D Embossing Folder ... Shady Leaves.

Here is a look at the card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.

 

Ears To A Wonderful Easter

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

My Spellbinders  February All Clubs Crate arrived on Friday, so I was able to create my first Easter card for the year.

This is a 5 x 7 card and used the large die of the month and the Clear Stamp with coordinating die set for the sentiment.

For the background I used the Spellbinders/Simon Hurley Ornate Eggs 3D Embossing Folder with coordinating stencils.

For the inside of the card, I added a scrap of the embossed background along the bottom. I added a die cut Happy Easter which is from Karen Burniston. 

Finally I added a few flowers which were left over from doing the front of the card.

A First Class Hello

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a card using products from Spellbinders January 2026 All Clubs Crate. For this card I used the Press & Foil Kit which is a postcard design called Postcard Hello. I opted to glimmer my design using the Polished Brass foil which came with the kit. 

I used the 3D Embossing Folder called Cottage Wall, one end of this embossing folder is stripes and the other a flower design. I preferred not to have the flowers,  so I cut a second panel of stripes and lined them up.

My card is a 5 x 7 card.

I had another foiled bird spare, so I cut that out and added that to the left side of my card. I added two of the sentiments that are included in the press and foil kit. I also added two thin strips of gold card to the right hand side of the card.

Butterfly Smile

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Slimline card I created using a few of the club kits from Spellbinders All Clubs Crate from January 2026.

The Butterfly and flowers are from the Stitching Die of the Month called Butterfly Dance. Rather than adding stitching I decided to add glitter card to the centre part of the butterfly.

For the Slimline background I used the Cloud Nine 2D Embossing Folder, after embossing the panel, I added white pigment ink over the raised area to highlight the embossing.

Finally I added two sentiments using the Clear Stamp & Die of the month called Best Year Sentiments. 

For the inside of the card, I added another butterfly and two more of the sentiments from the Clear Stamp & Die of the month.

A Little Birdie Told Me

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another card I created using products from Spellbinders January 2026 All Clubs Crate.

For this card I used the Large Die of the Month - Hummingbirds Delight. I added a sentiment to the bottom of the card using the Spread Your Wings Clear Stamp set.

I also used both embossing folders - Cloud Nine, the 2D Embossing Folder and Cottage Wall, the 3D Embossing Folder.

For the inside, I added a panel of embossed cardstock along the bottom, a flower from the Large Die of the month and a sentiment.

Happy Birthday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

My card today used more of the club kits from Spellbinders All Club Crate kits from January 2026.

The main portion of this card uses the extra die set that all Club Crate members receive. I then added a sentiment and a hummingbird which is from the Large Die of the month.

The sentiment is from the Sweeping Celebration Sentiments Betterpress set.

For the inside I added a sentiment from Spellbinders Spread Your Wings Clear Stamp set and added another hummingbird.

For my card today, I decided to play with the new Photo Display Pop-up die set, rather than use photos on the pop up I decided to use Alphabet dies to spell out Happy BDay .... there would be many different occasions you could spell out using this die. I also love how easy it is to use this pop up.

I had a blank space at the side of the back pop up, so I add the hot air balloon from the Love is in the Air Charms set which is also a new die from this release.

To decorate the card I added two hot air balloons, using the new Hot Air Balloon die set. I wanted this card to have a masculine feel. I also added some grass along the bottom edge of my card, using the Nature Edges die set.

For the front of the card, I again used the Hot Air Balloons die set to add more hot air balloons to my card. I added two sentiments, one from the Love Notes Clear Stamp set and the other from the Stage Scenes Clear Stamp set. I used one of the labels from the Greeting Labels die set to die cut the sentiments.

Have a Nice Day

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 cards using a few of the kits from Spellbinders January 2026 All Clubs Crates release.

For the focal image of this card I used the Cottage Wall 3D Embossing Folder. I coloured the flower and leaves with alcohol markers. I then used a ink cube to add colour to the vertical lines of the embossed image.

I added two hummingbirds which are from the Large Die of the Month - Hummingbirds Delight. 

Finally I added the sentiments using the Clear Stamp of the Month - Best Year Sentiments.

For the inside of the card I added another sentiment using the Clear Stamp of the Month. The flowers along the bottom of the card are from the Large Die of the month.

 

This Is A Paper Hug

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two cards I created using stencils designed by Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th. These stencils are 6 x 9 in size which means you can create larger cards with them, and as I like making larger cards these are perfect for me.

For the stencil I used the Bitsy Blooms Stencil adding colours in various shades of pinks, purples and greens.

I used Spellbinders Woven 3D Embossing folder to add texture to the 5 x 7 panels of the card.

For the sentiments, I used stamps from Kristina Werner's Written Words 2 stamp/die set.

Here is a look at the inside of the card. I added strips of card to the sides of the card and added another of the sentiment stamps from the stamp set.

 

Thinking About You Today

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another card using 3 of the club it’s from Spellbinders December 2025 Caboodle. For this card I have used the Stencil of the month for the image. I added one of the sentiments using the Clear Stamp of the month. For the 5 x 7 background, I pulled out the 2D Embossing Folder. 

I die cut the white panel using Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals die set,before adding it to the front of my card.

For the inside of my card, I stencilled the bird and heart balloon only to the bottom and added another sentiment.

Let's Chat Soon

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing an Easel card I created using some of the products from Spellbinders December 2025 Club kits. I didn’t have much time in December to play, so I am making up for that now.

For the Easel portion of the card, I used the Gilded Rectangles die set from Chloe’s Creative Cards. It’s a die set I ordered late last year which I finally got to play with.

I used Spellbinders Stitching Die Set for December for the cups & sentiments, but I opted not to added any stitching. 

For the Embossed background, I used the 3D Embossing Folder for December, after embossing I added white ink over the raised areas. 

The “Let’s Chat Soon” is a die included in the Stitching Die set, but rather than die cutting it, I hot foiled it using white glimmer foil. 

Here’s a look at my card when it is closed ready to place in an envelope. It will fit in a 5 x 7 envelope.
