Spellbinders | Stars, Stripes & Celebration

Hello! I’m sharing a card made with bonus items from the Spellbinders Crate, an embossing folder and die set, and it felt like the perfect project to celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday. The background was created using a fireworks embossing folder, which instantly sets a festive tone. For the focal point, I filled an Uncle Sam hat with florals, an American flag, and a firework, creating a design that feels both patriotic and celebratory. I finished the card with a subtle BetterPress sentiment that complements the design without detracting from the focal image.

Spellbinders | Tropical Fun

Hello! Today’s card brings a burst of tropical fun featuring the May 2026 Large Die Kit Club from Spellbinders. I created a bright, playful scene featuring a cheerful parrot paired with a soda can, a colorful fruit skewer, and a tiny umbrella for that extra island touch. The embossed background helps set the tone with added texture. Finished with a BetterPress sentiment, the card has a lighthearted, vacation-inspired feel.

Spellbinders | Bears on Vacation

Hello! Today’s A2-size card features the Spellbinders May 2026 Small Die of the Month set, with two adorable die-cut bears and a suitcase creating a sweet little scene (the kit also includes a cat). I used oval dies to focus attention on the focal point and added patterned paper for extra interest. The sentiment BetterPress “Hello Sweet Friend” finishes the card perfectly, making this a simple, cheerful design for sending a thoughtful note.

Spellbinders | Market Shopping

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card created with this month’s Large Die of the Month Kit at Spellbinders. The shopping bag filled with produce, flowers, bread, milk, and cheese has a French market feel that makes it easy to build a scene full of everyday beauty. For this card, I used patterned paper for the bag to add a bit of personality and set it against a dry-embossed background for a soft texture.

    • Dry-emboss an A2-size cardstock panel and add it to a card base.
    • With dies in the Large Die of the Month Kit, cut the shopping bag pieces from patterned paper. Add the back piece to the card base. I cut the front panel 1/2″ longer than the amount shown. I scored the panel twice and adhered a 1/4″ flap to the back of the card. By doing so, I created a bottom for the bag.
    • With dies in the Large Die of the Month Kit, cut the shopping bag contents and assemble as required. Add to the inside of the bag.
    • Better Press the sentiment and cut with its coordinating die. Add to the front of the shopping bag.
    • Adhere the bag closed with foam square adhesive.
