Hello

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing a fun new card I created with you!

What do you do when you get new dies from two different companies that you desperately want to play with ... combine the two of course. Which is what I did for this card. 

I just love the new Steamboat Willie Duo die set which I used to create this familiar cartoon character, it is soooo much fun.

For my card base, I used Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's new Star Showstopper die set.

For the top stars I used Spellbinders Mariner's Weave Embossing Folder which is the June 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month. 

For the sentiment, I added the Hello die set. I didn't order the accessories when I ordered Steamboat Willie, but I have fixed that now LOL!

Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope. It should fit in a Slimline Envelope or a 5 x 7 Envelope.

Here is a look at the back of my card. I kept it very simple, just adding the stars to the centre of the card and a "For You" stamped sentiment.

Santa Slippers

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s the 25th June, which means it is exactly 6 months until Christmas! So today I am sharing a Christmas card I created. 

This card uses Spellbinders Cozy Toes Slippers die set which was the large die of the month for October 2024. This is such a fun die set with slippers of various designs including Santa, Reindeer, a penguin etc. You’ll definitely see more of this set in the future. 

For my card I created a Tri Shutter card, using an older die from Tattered Lace. I covered the front with a rectangle panel for a different look. 

Here is a look at my card when it folded ready to be placed in a envelope.

And finally the back of my card. I added a white panel to the right side of my card so I could add a stamped sentiment and a place to write a personal message. 

Scribbled a Note

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing 3 cards I created for my teacher daughter to give to the staff at her Childcare Centre she works at for Childcare Educators Day in September. 

Apparently I need to make a total of 17 cards … these three now bring that total to 13 (I shared another a few weeks ago).

To create this card I used products from Spellbinders May 2025 Club Kits. For this card I used the stencil of the month, colouring the pencils in rainbow colours. 

The sentiments used on the front is from the Glummer of the Month, which I glimmered onto red cardstock using white glimmer foil.

For the inside of the card I added a stamped sentiment from MFT Stamps.

I added the large pencil which is also included in the Glimmer of the Month set.

 

Springtime in Kyoto

Hi Crafty Friends

 I have a fun fold card to share today that I created recently. I used the Honeycomb Card die set from Creative Craft Products to make this fun fold card. 

To decorate my card I used products from the Spellbinders Spring in Kyoto Collection designed by Alex Siberia. For this card I used the Kokeshi Doll die set and Parasols Betterpress Plate & stencils.

I betterpressed the Parasol plate four times so I could decorate all the panels on my card.

Here is a look at the back of my card, I added a vertical happy birthday Sentiment which is an older stamp from my stash.

Here is a view of the back of my card when it is closed.

 

Cheerful Chirps

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 Trifold card I created using products from Spellbinders Cheerful Chirps Collection.  Living in Australia of course I had to create a cockatoo and for this card I created a Major Mitchell Cockatoo, which is an actual bird.

The cockatoo is made using the Flying High die set, all sentiments from the Spread Your Wings Sentiment stamp set and the Bamboo Screen 3D Embossing Folder.

For the trifold card I used the Made by Surprise by Sam Calcott’s 5 x 7 Trifold card from the Showstoppers 1 Collection.

Here is a look at the back of my card. I added a white panel to the right hand side for a place to add a sentiment and write a personal message.

90th Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a 90th birthday card I created recently for a friend to give to her sister later in the year.

I used the 5 x 7 Side Panel card from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott’s Showstopper 1 Collection.

 

To decorate my card I used the cake,  party hat and birthday sentiment dies from Papertrey Ink.

I added them”90 th” to the narrow panel on the right which is another Made To Surprise die set.

Here is a look at the back of the card. I added a white panel, so I could add a sentiment and have a place to add a personal message.

This card uses the new Arch Pop-up and the coordinating Rainbow Add-ons die sets to create the fun pop up rainbow at the top of the card. I used pastel colours to create my rainbow opting for pink rather than red.

Along the bottom edge of my card, I used the cloud die from the Curved Edges die set. I die cut the edges twice for each side of the card. I added two sentiments from the Rainbow Greetings Clear Stamp set.

 

I die cut three unicorns from the Leaping Animals die set, die cutting the mane, tail etc from different colours. I also assembled one of the unicorns so it was facing the opposite direction. 

I kept the front of the card fairy simple, repeating elements that I had used on the inside of my card ... the rainbow, unicorn and a sentiment.

I used the Oval Crosshatch die set to layer my sentiment.

Spellbinders Weekender 2025

Hi Crafty Friends,

A few weeks ago, I participated in a virtual class which was given by Spellbinders Paper Arts. One of the things I liked about this was the ease of being able to participate, as I was able to order my kit from my local store here in Australia. I didn’t get to make card from all the classes yet, but I have the supplies and access to all tutorials which I have already watched.

First up on Friday night (Saturday morning for me) Channin Pelletier  shared two cards using supplies from the kit. As I had prepared my homework for one of her cards prior to the weekend, I was able to make my card. I did make a few changes, such as changing the size to 5 x7 and adding texture to the yellow background by using the Plaster 3D Embossing folder.

Next up was a card designed by Kim Kesti of Spellbinders. I love that ship! Again I changed the size of my card to 5 x 7. I also added another of the main ship portion to add a slight border.

Of course I had to decorate the inside of my card, with sentiments and left of card along the bottom edge.

The next class I was able to participate during the weekend due to time zones was one given by Suzanne Hue. I enjoyed making her version of the ship card, yes I did change the size to 5 x 7 which meant I was able to add clouds & birds to the top portion of my card. I also added another extra sentiment.

The inside of this one is fairly simple. I am adding it here for my records.

Next up, Suzanne shared her second card using the Beyond the Door die set. I loved the Easel Card she created.

I think this is pretty much the same as her card other than the lemons on either side of the sentiment. I used lemons from the die set rather than the lemon stamp included in the Sentiment set.

The last class for the weekend was given by Jennifer Macguire, she always gives a fun twist to the cards she creates. The rays of the sun on this card actually spin!

I. decorated the inside of my card by adding some of the blue shimmer spray to the bottom of the card and adding a sentiment. The shimmer spray was also used on the blue panel on the front of my card.

Jennifer’s final card was a Z Fold card using the Beyond the Door die set.

When the card is closed the open arch door on the front of the card, shows the scene which is attached to the inside of the card.

I enjoyed the classes I did and would definitely consider participating again next year.
