Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! I’m sharing a tropical-inspired card featuring one of the June 2026 Spellbinders Crate subscription bonus items. The scene of a charming hula girl with tiki torches is set against a dry-embossed background. I used a BetterPress sentiment to complete the design. The result is a fun, cheerful card that captures the relaxed spirit of a tropical getaway.
Hello! Bring a touch of the tropics to your cardmaking with this vibrant design featuring the Spellbinders June 2026 Large Die Kit Club. This may be one of the most elaborate and intricately detailed floral die sets I’ve ever worked with! The tropical blooms take center stage against a dry-embossed background filled with pineapple texture for added dimension and interest.
While I chose a BetterPress sentiment for this card, the kit also includes dies to create an “Aloha” greeting, making it easy to embrace the set’s island-inspired theme. The combination of lush florals, tropical motifs, and rich texture creates a card that feels warm, cheerful, and perfect for a variety of occasions.
Hello! This cheerful ocean-themed card was created using the Spellbinders June 2026 Small Die of the Month set, featuring a detailed turtle die cut as the focal point.
The design brings the scene to life with a wave-style die cut paired with a patterned paper background that sets a tropical tone. A BetterPress sentiment completes the design. I used oval dies to focus attention on the focal point.
Hello! I’m sharing a card made with bonus items from the Spellbinders Crate, an embossing folder and die set, and it felt like the perfect project to celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday. The background was created using a fireworks embossing folder, which instantly sets a festive tone. For the focal point, I filled an Uncle Sam hat with florals, an American flag, and a firework, creating a design that feels both patriotic and celebratory. I finished the card with a subtle BetterPress sentiment that complements the design without detracting from the focal image.
Hello! Today’s card brings a burst of tropical fun featuring the May 2026 Large Die Kit Club from Spellbinders. I created a bright, playful scene featuring a cheerful parrot paired with a soda can, a colorful fruit skewer, and a tiny umbrella for that extra island touch. The embossed background helps set the tone with added texture. Finished with a BetterPress sentiment, the card has a lighthearted, vacation-inspired feel.
