The sentiment “Seas the Day” sets a cheerful tone, and the dry-embossed fishing net background adds texture and reinforces the maritime theme. Whether you’re crafting for a beach lover or just love ocean-inspired designs, this card is sure to bring a smile!

Spellbinders | Floral Beauty

Hello! There’s something timeless about a card full of beautiful blooms, and today I’m sharing a floral design created with several Spellbinders die sets. One of the featured sets was originally the January 2023 Large Die of the Month Club kit; it’s available for individual purchase—perfect if you missed it the first time around! I love combining die sets to build unique arrangements.

- Dry emboss a cardstock panel with the Flowers & Foliage folder. Add to a 5″ x 7″ card base.
- Cut the Club Blooms pieces from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble as required.
- Cut the pot with dies in the Azalea and Garden Pot set and assemble as necessary.
- Adhere the pot, blooms, and foliage to the card base.
- Stamp the Message Strips sentiment with blue ink and cut with a banner die in the set. Add sentiment across the pot.

Statement Carnation in a Vase

Hello! Sometimes a single bloom says it all. For this card, I created a dimensional carnation using a Susan Tierney-Cockburn die set and placed it in a vase to let the flower take center stage. Because the carnation has such a strong visual presence, I kept the overall design clean, adding just a touch of patterned paper in the background and a BetterPress sentiment to complete the look.

- Create an A2-size card base and cover with Echo Park – My Favorite Summer patterned paper.
- Cut the Carnation pieces from Susan’s Garden Specialty Cardstock and Fern (leaves) cardstock. Follow the video in the product link to form the carnation.
- Use dies in the Ceramic Vases set to cut the vase.
- Press the You are Everything Sentiments plate in black ink. Cut with the coordinating die set.
- Add assembled carnation, vase, and sentiment to the card with foam adhesive. Glue leaves behind the bloom.

Cheerful Crayon Card with Caboodle Set

Hello! Bright, cheerful, and full of personality—this mini-slimline card showcases five anthropomorphic crayons made with this month’s Caboodle bonus set Yay! Crayons” from Spellbinders. Each crayon has expressive faces, arms, and legs, bringing playful character to the design. The sentiment “You color me happy” makes this card perfect for celebrating friendship, thanking a teacher, or sending a smile just because.

- Create a 6 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ card base. Cover with patterned paper sized 6 1/4″ x 3 1/4″.
- Die-cut the crayons with the Caboodle bonus set from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
