Spellbinders | Dive Into Joy

Hello! Today I’m sharing a card that takes us on an underwater adventure, made with the August 2025 Small Die of the Month set from Spellbinders. I built a lively ocean scene complete with two divers, colorful fish, and flowing underwater plants. The sentiment “You Brighten My Day” adds a cheerful touch, making this card perfect for sending a little sunshine to someone special. The details in this die set make the scene come to life—it was such a joy to put together!
