Mum Celebrate You

Hi Crafty Friends,

Yesterday was Mother’s Day down here in Australia, so today I am sharing a Mother’s Day card I created recently. 

For this card I used Concord & 9th’s Handpicked die set, this set includes dies to enable you to die cut the edge of the design if you wish to.

For the inside panel I added a piece of Waterfall cardstock that I die cut using Trinity Stamps A7 Diamond Eyelet Background.

I added two sets of Betterpress plates to add the sentiments on the inside & added another flower from the die set.

 

Arcade Game

Hi Crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a fun Arcade Game Machine shaped Mini Slimline card using a die set from Trinity Stamps.

I used an older stamp set from Lawn Fawn to add the sentiment.

Here is a look at the inside of my card. Again I used another older Lawn Fawn set to add my sentiment.

 

Flower Shaker Card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing another card using products from Spellbinders Just Add Cake Card Kit. 

This time round I created a shaker card using the Garden Party die set and the shaker domes which are designed to fit in the centre of the large flower. 

The sentiment is also from the sentiment set also included in the set.

I added a bee to the top left corner of the card. This is on a tiny spinner, so the bee spins around 

For the inside of the card I added a few flowers along the bottom of the card. I also added a couple more sentiments.

 

Deer Slide and Hide

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun interactive 5 x 7 card that I created recently.

For the interactive portion of the card, I used the Slide & Hide Mechanism die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott.

When you pull up the panel with the arrow, it reveals the background scene and a sentiment comes down from the bottom. 

To decorate the card I used dies from Spellbinders Summer Camp Collection designed by Allison Frazier.

Here is a look at the inside of my card, I used a sentiment from an older Honeybee Stamps stamp set.

Poppy Birthday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two 5 x 7 birthday cards using Spellbinders Poppy Background Betterpress Plate.

I used the Betterpress plate to black foil the image. I then used the coordinating stencils to add colour to the poppies. For this card I used red inks to get the red poppies.

I added a die cut sentiment which is from Papertrey Ink.

This card is done the same as the one above, however I added the inks with a lighter hand and without reinking to get the pink poppies.

I used the Woven 3D Enbossing Folder to add the texture to the base of my card.

For the inside of my card I used Concord & 9th’s Big Day Birthday Sentiment set to add the birthday greeting.

Fresh Packed Birthday Cheer

 

Hi Crafty Friends, 

Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card using products from the Spellbinders April 2026 All Clubs Crate.

For this card I used the Large die of the month … Market Tote, which includes dies to create the tote and the food & flower dies to fill it.

To add texture to the tote I used the Embossing Folder of the Month … Market Weave. 

I added sentiments using the Fresh Packed stamp set which is the Clear Stamp of the Month.

For the inside of the card, I added more of the food die cuts to the bottom of the card. I added a sentiment to the sign which is from the Stitched Die of the Month.

Black & White Birthday Wishes

iHi Crafty Friends,

Last week I shared two cards I created using a foiled Betterpress image. For my card today I am using the same image, but this image is the negative image that you can get by using the left over used foil and a solid plate. 

This Betterpress plate is called Sweet Memories and was one of the monthly plates from the Betterpress Society.

For my card I created a Trifold card using the 5 x 7 Trifold Showstopper die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott.

Here is a look at the back of the card. I added a sentiment onto the white panel.

Just Because

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing an arched shaped card using a Betterpress plate from Spellbinders.

For this card I used the Daisy Trio Betterpress plate that I foiled using black foil. I used the Essential Arches die set to create the Arch shaped card.

For the inside of my card, I used another Betterpress plate, again foiling with black foil. 

 

Day In Full Bloom

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a foiled Trifold Card using products from Spellbinders. 

For the front of the card I used Spellbinders Friendship Grows Betterpress set which was the Betterpress Society set from November 2025. I used the included border die to cut the border along the floral image on the right side of the panel. I used black foil on the floral image.

I used the Shady Leaves 3D Embossing Folder on the orange panel, adding white ink to the raised areas.

For the middle panel I added the sentiment using an older sentiment from Made To Surprise. The oval layers uses the Essential Stylish Ovals die set.

And Many S'More

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another card using Spellbinders Summer Camp Collection designed by Allison Frazier. 

This time round I created a Slimline Easel card so I had plenty of room to create a scene. This card measures 4 inches x 8 1/2 inches when folded.

I used Lawn Fawn’s Slimline Grassy Hillside die set to add all the grass to the card.

To decorate my card I used the Woodland Trio, Trails End and Camp Days die sets.

I used the sign from the Trails End die set to add my greeting and added the stamped sentiment from the Summertime Sentiments Clear Set.
