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.

Spellbinders | Relax & Enjoy

Hello! The Fairways & Fish Tales kit (the March 2025 Small Die Kit Club offering) from Spellbinders is full of creative possibilities, whether you’re crafting for a golf enthusiast or someone who loves a quiet day on the water. For this card, I focused on the fishing elements, creating a serene scene with a single fisherman and the sentiment “Relax, and enjoy!” A new color palette gives it a totally different feel from my previous card, proving the versatility of this kit.
