die cuts - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Floral Sneaker

Hello! For the feminine take with the Large Die offering for March 2026 at Spellbinders, I swapped the grill tools (see my first card HERE) for a bouquet of cheerful flowers while keeping the classic sneaker front and center. This die set has options for both masculine and feminine cards, making it versatile for many occasions.

- Cut Seaside cardstock with the largest Essential Stylish Oval die and add to an A2-size base.
- Cut the sneaker and flowers from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
- Add assembled items to the card front.
- Press the Crate offering sentiment, cut with a banner die, and cut apart. Note: I edited the sentiment, which said, “Have a Super Birthday.” Add the sentiment pieces to the card front with foam.

Hero Arts | Retro Crafting Fun

Hello! If you remember the days when denim jackets were covered in colorful flair buttons, today’s card might bring a smile to your face. This cheerful design uses a fun Hero Arts die set that creates miniature retro-style buttons, paired with the sentiment “You’ve Got Flair.” The result is a happy, nostalgic card that celebrates individuality and a little bit of vintage style.

Spellbinders | Superheroine Card

Hello! Today I’m sharing a Mom or friendship card created with the Spellbinders March Small Die kit, featuring a super heroine in the clouds. The dry-embossed sky with a subtle star pattern, adds texture and dimension. The sentiment “You Saved the Day” perfectly complements the theme, making this card ideal for celebrating someone who truly does it all.

Spellbinders | You’re Pure Classic!

For this playful Father’s Day card, I reached for the Spellbinders March Large Die of the Month Kit and leaned into a theme that feels perfectly “Dad.” What’s great about this die set is that it’s versatile enough to create a feminine card as well!

Classic sneakers take center stage, paired with grill implements, a mustard bottle, and a hot dog for a fun backyard vibe. I set the scene against a BetterPress dot grunge background, which adds texture and energy. The sentiment ties everything together and celebrates that timeless dad style. What is great about the is there’s a way to make a feminine card as well!

- Press the background with blue ink on Malibu cardstock. Trim and add panel to an A-2 size card base. Press the sentiment with the same set and trim.
- Cut the sneakers, grill tools, condiment bottle, and hotdog with dies in the March Large Die of the Month Kit from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
- Add the assembled items and sentiment to the prepared card base with glue and foam squares.
