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.

Gnome Slimline Card

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Slimline card using products from the Made To Make Craft kit, which is the first Craft kit designed by Sam Calcott/Made to Surprise available from Craftworld. 

For this card, I used the stamp set and pattern papers included in the kit.

For the inside of my card, I added a sentiment and a couple of images included in the kit.

Hello Emoji Easel Card

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing a Circle Easel card using products from Trinity Stamps.

For the circle portion of the card I used the Circle Shaped die set. I then decorated the circle using the cards using the Basic Emoji Builder & All Hands Emoji Add-on die sets.

I added the sentiments using a die set from Lisa Horton Designs.

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

Honey Jar Card

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope 2026 will be a good one for all of us.

Today I am sharing a shaped card I created using Spellbinders Honey Jar Die set which was the large ie of the month back in January 2024. I was able to get it on sale a few months ago and put it away for Christmas.

Everything used on the front of the card is from the die set other than the sentiment.

For the inside of the card, I pulled out some old Honey Bee Stamps sentiment stamps, and added another bee.
