Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a CAS slimline card created with the Spellbinders January 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club “Spreading Love.” This is a brand-new Spellbinders kit club for 2022. The folder size will generally be 5.5 x 8.5 inches and can be used to make cards in a variety of sizes including slimline, 5 x 7, and A2.


Hello crafty friends and happy 2022! I’m delighted to share a Valentine’s Day project created with the Spellbinders January 2022 Large Die of the Month “A Pocket Full of Love.” Read more about the set here.
This unique die set creates a pocket in which to place a note, a photo, a gift card, and more. The enclosure is revealed by pulling up the heart. I enclosed a photo of my grandparents taken during their honeymoon in 1921.



Hello from the cold and snowy Pacific Northwest. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with the recently-released Be Bold Color Block Love You die set at Spellbinders. The Be Bold Color Block collection features die sets with which you can quickly and easily create bold and graphic greetings. I previously shared cards created with a Christmas die from the collection in this post.

With the Be Bold Color Block Love You die set, I cut the “LOVE” letters from colored paper in red and three shades of pink. I adhered the letters to Snowdrift cardstock for stability. I die-cut the “you” from white glitter cardstock which I also adhered to Snowdrift cardstock.
I taped the “LOVE” letters on the back and attached the assembly to blue paper (from the Echo Park Celebrate Winter collection).
