Spellbinders | Whimsical Fall-themed Card

Hello! Fall is the perfect season for cozy, storybook-inspired designs, and the September Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders captures that magic beautifully. I created a card featuring a squirrel holding an acorn outside his tiny acorn-shaped house. Surrounded by colorful fall foliage, the scene feels straight out of a woodland fairy tale. The sweet sentiment, “May your fall be full of quiet wonder,” ties it all together for a card that celebrates the gentle joys of autumn.

- Dry-emboss Teal Topaz cardstock with the Tiny Dots folder and add to an A2-size card base.
- Stamp and cut the sentiment with the Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Die set.
- Cut the house, foliage, and squirrel with the Large Die of the Month dies from Bristol paper and color with Distress Oxide inks. Assemble.
- Add items to card base with glue and foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | A Ghostly Twist

Hello! Sometimes the best card ideas come from looking at supplies in a new way. I thought it would be fun to pair supplies from Spellbinders, a ghost with a house die set originally designed for Christmas. I’m sure I’m not the first to turn this townhome into a haunted house, but it was such a delight to see how easily it shifted seasons. A BetterPress sentiment finished the scene.

You can see the Christmas card created with the City Holiday set HERE and the card with the Boo Crew set HERE.

- Cover a 5″ x 7″ card base with patterned paper. (I used a piece from the Simple Stories Spooky Things pad.)

Spellbinders | Boo Crew Halloween Card

Hello! Halloween will be here before we know it. I’m getting a head start on spooky crafting with a die-cut-only card made using the Boo Crew set by Simon Hurley, which features three playful ghosts, each with a distinctive personality.

Spellbinders | Swimming in Happiness

Hello! There’s something magical about bringing home new fish from the pet store. I captured that moment with Spellbinders die sets, creating two colorful fish swimming in a clear plastic bag. The design came together quickly with just a few die sets and delivers a big visual impact. With the sentiment “You Brighten My Day,” this card is perfect for sending cheer to someone special. The mix of colors and die-cut details brings this fun, aquarium-inspired card to life.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
