Hello! I was recently a guest on the Spellbinders blog showcasing the Expressions of Faith Collection. My projects feature the Kaleidoscope Cross, the Gleaming Cross, and the Faith Glimmer Sentiments. I hope you’ll head to the blog post to read about my approach with the collection, suitable for a variety of faith-themed projects.

Spellbinders Spooky Greetings
Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Halloween card showcasing the Spellbinders Spooky Greetings Glimmer Hot Foil set.
- I glimmer foiled the set’s sentiments on to colored cardstock and trimmed the foiled cardstock into 1/2″ strips.
- I adhered the strips to a dry-embossed background, staggering the sentiments.
- I added the bats, cut from glitter cardstock, with dimensional adhesive.
What I like about this card: the colors and its simplicity.
Thanks for visiting!
Spellbinders Card Kit – Christmas Wishes
Hello! Today I am sharing five cards created with the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit from Spellbinders. The Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit, a holiday-themed cardmaking kit which was released in November 2019, contains ten cards and envelopes, nine pieces of cardstock, eight dies, a patterned paper pad, a stamp set, die-cut shapes, adhesive gemstones, chipboard elements, and adhesive. The kit is overflowing with product!
My first card combines patterned paper with die-cut shapes and adhesive glitter elements. This took just minutes to assemble.
My second card incorporates ornaments cut with dies in the kit from metallic gold cardstock which is also included. A chipboard element was used for the sentiment.
I used the kit’s poinsettia die on my third card with a heat-embossed sentiment from the included stamp set. Adhesive gemstones were added as embellishment.
My additional cards use the kit’s die-cut and chipboard pieces with patterned paper.
There is more inspiration for the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit within the product information. Thanks for visiting!

On the first card, I used the Small Die of the Month set to create a rectangular frame of ivory cardstock.
- I applied VersaMark ink to parts of inside of the corner pieces and both of the joiner pieces and heat-embossed them with gold powder.
- I added the assembled frame to a base, on which I arranged 1/2″ strips of colored cardstock. On the center strip, I glimmer foiled a sentiment from the More Sentiments set in Matte Gold.
I also created a card using only the corner die to create a square frame. I glimmer foiled a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments II set in Matte Gold.
