Simon Hurley Sending Hugs collection

Hi crafty friends! I'm back today with a fun card using some cute stuff from the new Simon Hurley collection for Spellbinders called Sending Hugs. This collection features an adorable dog, cat and Bear/Panda die sets and a puffy heart 3D embossing folder with layering stencil!
How cute is this doggie? So much detail! The die set is called Darling Dog and it's named perfectly 💙 The gorgeous background is the Puffy Heart 3D embossing folder colored with the coordinating Layered Puffy Hearts stencil (currently out of stock). 
The details on the cute doggie are fabulous! For the background, I stenciled the hearts with 3 shades of blue (linked below) and adhered it to the card base. For the sentiment, I went old school and used a hole punch on both ends and wrapped my twine and tied into a bow. The little star and heart accents are from the dog color charm dies. I love how this turned out!

2026 JANUARY LARGE DIE

As you can see from my first photo, I took color inspiration from the beautiful Color Deck card. I was drawn to the gorgeous photo and embraced the challenge to only use colors from the photo. For small pops of sparkle I used Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock for the flower centers and parts of the bird's wings and tail.  Lastly, I used a sentiment from the Ideal Moments BetterPress plate and dies and I pressed it with black ink, I love the variety of sentiments in this set! I love how this turned out!

Hero Arts What a Ride Collection

Hi crafty friends! Today is release day over at Hero Arts and I'm sharing a few cards from the new collection called What A Ride. This collection features a fun wavy cover plate, Yes You Can dies and coordinating layering stencil set and 2 stamp sets with matching dies. I love the groovy vibe of this collection!
YES YOU CAN DIE SET, LAYERING STENCIL AND WAVY LINES COVER PLATE

Here are the same colors flipped to a landscape orientation! 
To start I chose my color palette with 2 shades of pink, 2 shades of teal and white. I die cut the Wavy Lines cover plate with all 5 colors. I mixed and matched the placement and ended up making 2 cards with the possibility of 3 more! I die cut the Yes You Can set with white for the letters and the shadow in black. Of course I had to add a flower accent, so I used flowers from the Apple Frame die set
YES YOU CAN DIE SET AND LAYERING STENCIL
 
This last card uses the Yes You Can Layering stencil and die set. I kept my colors similar to the cardstock and stenciled my layers with the ink colors listed below. I wanted to cut this down to a mini slimline, so I pulled out my trusty Master Layouts 07 die set for my panel. In order to get the die cut letters to fit in the stenciled openings, I used the letter dies without the shadow on them. I cut both black and white with the letter die and layered them slightly askew. I love how fun these turned out!

Susan Tierney-Cockburn Double and Single Peonies die set

Hi crafty friends! You all know I love a pretty flower die and today I'm sharing a card using one of the flower dies from the latest collection from Susan Tierney-Cockburn for Spellbinders. The collection is called The Poet's Garden and features 4 flowers and 1 sentiment set.
DOUBLE AND SINGLE PEONIES AND PERFECT TOUCHES ARCHES DIES

My card uses the Double and Single Peonies die set which is popped up on layered arches die cut from the Perfect Touch Arches die set. The sentiment is from the A Little Message press and die set.
 To start, I embossed my card front with the Tiny Dots embossing folder. I wanted some texture as my background, so this folder was perfect. I die cut my arches from white and kraft cardstock and before layering together, I added black splatter to the white panel. It's been awhile since I used my stitched  ribbon and I thought it would perfectly frame my peony! I used a few lilac gems for the final touches. I love how this turned out!
