Large Die of the Month - Right as Rain

Encouragement Card: Fridge Door Scene

Hello! Today I’m sharing a handmade encouragement card that’s perfect for busy moms navigating the chaos of end-of-school season. Created with Spellbinders die sets, this card features a refrigerator door covered in magnetic alphabet letters that spell “just breathe,” along with tiny notes and photos that reflect the hustle of everyday life. When opened, the card reveals shelves stocked with kitchen staples like ketchup, mustard, and jam—reminding the recipient that even in the busiest seasons, they are thought of and supported.

The “Spell It Out Fridge” die set can be used to make a shaped card with or without the fridge interior.

- With the “Spell It Out Fridge” die set, cut the fridge door front from cardstock and use other dies in the set to cut the magnets, notes, photos, and fridge magnets.
- Cut the fridge interior panel. Trim off the left-hand side flap and add the fridge door front. Use dies in the “Spell It Out Fridge” die set to cut the fridge door shelves. Assemble.
- Cut the fridge foods with dies in the Spell It Out Fridge Staples set. Assemble.
- Add assembled items to the fridge door front and interior.

I opted to add the fridge door shelves on the right-hand side. A message can be written on the left-hand side or below the door shelves. Alternately, put the fridge door shelves on the left-hand side and add the personalization on the right!

Spellbinders | Congrats, Grad!

Hello! Send your congratulations with a handmade graduation card that’s as smart and spirited as the grad! Using the Spellbinders “Classroom Chronicles” die set, which is the May 2025 Small Die offering, I created a cheerful apple character in a graduation cap, seated on a stack of books labeled “Congrats,” “Student,” and “Wisdom.” Patterned paper adds to the schoolhouse charm, and I personalized the design with die-cut letters from the Large Die offering to spell out “Henry.” Whether for a preschool promotion or a college send-off, this fun design works for grads of all ages!

- To begin, cover an A2-size base with patterned paper that has been attached to vellum with double-sided adhesive to quiet the pattern.
- With the Small Die of the Month set, cut the apple, accessories, and books from solid cardstock. Assemble and add to the card front.
- With the Large Die of the Month set, cut the letters from black glitter foam. Glue to the card front.

Say Hello with a Doggone Cute Design

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a playful handmade card featuring a die-cut dog sporting a baseball cap and a cheerful “Hello” sentiment—created with Spellbinders dies. This lighthearted design is perfect for sending a casual greeting, especially to a young child. I chose fun patterned paper to enhance the relaxed vibe, making the card feel friendly and fresh.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Use a die in the Essential Arches set to cut Cascade cardstock. Use the next smallest arch in the set to cut another piece of patterned paper. Attach the two and add to the card base.
- Use dies in the Family & Friends Vignettes set (the March 2025 Large Die of the Month set) to cut the dog and hat. (I used other elements from the kit HERE.) Assemble.
- Cut the sentiment with a die in the Fresh Picked Sentiments set (twice for extra depth).
- Add dog and sentiment to the prepared card base.
