Friendship - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Brunch-Themed Friendship Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a playful friendship card created with the Spellbinders November Small Die of the Month set, which is all about brunch! The set includes the cutest breakfast items, each complete with arms, legs, and sweet expressions. I’ve used the waffle, a strip of bacon, and a sunny-side-up egg. The card is a fun and friendly way to invite someone to catch up, share a meal, or simply brighten their day.

- Create a 5″ x 7″ card base.
- Cut a 4″ x 6″ panel of patterned paper.
- Cut the focal items from a variety of cardstock colors with the Small Die of the Month set. Assemble. (Note: I trimmed the banner sentiment on either end to shorten it.)
- With a circle die, cut three circles in coordinating colors and dry-emboss with the Tiny Dots folder. Attach the circles to the patterned paper and trim. Mat the panel on to a slightly larger panel of black cardstock. Add assembly to the prepared card base.
- Add items to the circles with adhesive foam squares.

Spellbinders | Cozy Toes Slippers + Friends

Hello! Spellbinders has introduced a new batch of slipper faces and coordinating sentiments for the Cozy Toes Slippers die set (originally the October 2024 Large Die of the Month). These additions make it easy to create playful, friendship-themed cards all year long. For today’s design, I used the cow face dies and paired them with a sentiment from the Cozy Toes Friends stamp set: “You’re my go-to for comfort, laughs, and late-night chats.” The success of this card comes down to the color and pattern choices. I dressed my slippers in multi-colored polka dot pajamas that complement the black-and-white cow design.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper (Doodlebug Tinsel Time).
- Cut the cow faces with dies in the Cozy Toes Friends set and assemble.
- Cut the pajamas and slipper bases with dies in the Cozy Toes Slippers set. Assemble.
- Stamp the Cozy Toes Friends sentiment and cut with a banner/rectangle die.
- Add elements to the prepared card base.

I love when a well-loved product gets new life through additional designs. These new slipper faces expand the creative possibilities of the original set.

Spellbinders | Let Hope Guide You

Hello! Today I’m sharing a handmade card with a message of encouragement. Using the Spellbinders “Sailor’s Light” die set – the June 2025 Large Die of the Month club offering – I created a scene with a lighthouse casting its beam across the ocean. The sentiment “Let hope guide you” makes this card perfect for someone going through a tough time—or simply as a gentle reminder of brighter days ahead. See more inspiration HERE.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Cut Large Die of the Month pieces from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
- Add assembled elements to the prepared card base.
- Stamp the Fair Winds sentiment and cut with the coordinating die. Add to card.
