Spellbinders - Right as Rain

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.

- Create an A2-size card base.
- Cut Fairways & Fish Tales elements from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble as necessary. Add assembled elements to the prepared card base, using foam squares to pop up elements
- Stamp the Fair Winds sentiment in navy ink. I cut the sentiment with a cloud die that was included in the June 2024 DOML set “Summer Vacay,” which is no longer available. (The Fair Winds set includes dies to cut the sentiments and the coordinating die could be used to cut the sentiment.) Add the stamped sentiment to the card base.

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.

Girl with Balloons Birthday Card Idea

Hello! Today I’m sharing a birthday card featuring a sweet girl being lifted off the ground by two playful balloons—one shaped like a bear and the other a smiling face with a party hat. This cheerful card is a creative mashup of several die sets from Spellbinders, including one where the original girl held a kite. I swapped it out for balloons to create a fun, floating effect! I finished the design with patterned paper that reinforces the birthday theme and color palette, adding extra charm and visual interest.

- Cover A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Cut the Memory Frames and back with a coordinating patterned paper. Add the frame assembly to the prepared card base.
- Die-cut the girl with dies in the Up and Away set. I coordinated her clothing with colors in the patterned paper. Assemble. Find inspiration for the Up and Away set HERE.

Encouragement Card: Fridge Door Scene

Hello! Today I’m sharing a handmade encouragement card that’s perfect for busy moms navigating the chaos of end-of-school season. Created with Spellbinders die sets, this card features a refrigerator door covered in magnetic alphabet letters that spell “just breathe,” along with tiny notes and photos that reflect the hustle of everyday life. When opened, the card reveals shelves stocked with kitchen staples like ketchup, mustard, and jam—reminding the recipient that even in the busiest seasons, they are thought of and supported.

The “Spell It Out Fridge” die set can be used to make a shaped card with or without the fridge interior.

- With the “Spell It Out Fridge” die set, cut the fridge door front from cardstock and use other dies in the set to cut the magnets, notes, photos, and fridge magnets.
- Cut the fridge interior panel. Trim off the left-hand side flap and add the fridge door front. Use dies in the “Spell It Out Fridge” die set to cut the fridge door shelves. Assemble.
- Cut the fridge foods with dies in the Spell It Out Fridge Staples set. Assemble.
- Add assembled items to the fridge door front and interior.

I opted to add the fridge door shelves on the right-hand side. A message can be written on the left-hand side or below the door shelves. Alternately, put the fridge door shelves on the left-hand side and add the personalization on the right!
