Spellbinders Make It & Bake It by Tina Smith

Hi crafty friends! It's release day over at Spellbinders and today I'm sharing inspiration from the FABULOUS Make It & Bake It collection designed by Tina Smith! It's delicious! The collection features 5 baking themed die sets, 1 sentiment stamp set and 1 3D Embossing folder.

This collection is so cute! I started my cards by die cutting the apron from some cute striped papers from the A2 Happy Stripes paper pad. My cards use the Made with Love die set, card 1 also uses the Confection Companions 3D EF and card 2 uses a sentiment from the Sugared Expressions stamp set.

Spellbinders Regal Reflections collection and DIY Color Deck inspiration

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card using a new die set and 3D embossing folder from the new Regal Reflections collection by Spellbinders. This collection features 2 die sets, 1 sentiment stamp set and 1 3D embossing folder. Check out what I made and scroll down for a complete supply list.

I pulled out my DIY Color Deck cards for some color inspiration and was stopped in my tracks at this gorgeous card. This image PERFECTLY depicted the feel of the gorgeous flower die set. I love the colors in the image so much that I used this SAME card as inspiration last year (scroll down for the photo).

Just look at these beautiful blooms! The die set is called Regal Blooms and has beautiful fan shaped layered flowers with a vase. The background uses the 3D embossing folder called Regal Lattice which is a dual image folder. I used the lattice portion for my card and I lightly inked the edges with blue ink. The sentiment is from the Cheers to You Sentiments press plate and I foiled in with Cobalt Blue foil. I love how this turned out!  

Here is my card from April 2025 using the same Color Deck card for color inspiration.

I used some papers from the A2 Charming paper pad to paper piece her hair wrap and robe. The colors in this paper pad are so serene, I thought they were perfect for a spa day!

Altenew Blossoms of Encouragement and IG GIVEAWAY!

Hi crafty friends! The Altenew November release is live and I have a beautiful floral card using one of the new 3D Embossing Folders as the background. This release features inks, wax seals, wax beads, stamps, dies, and MORE! 💖💖

Check out the card I made and scroll down for supply list and giveaway details.

My card focuses on the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Blossoms of Encouragement. This kit has a stunning floral stamp with coordinating die set, a coloring layering stencil, 3D embossing folder. I think these kits are the best bang for your buck with a cost of $66!

To start my card, I used the NEW Crisscross Blooms 3D Folder with light blue cardstock and adhered it to my card base. I used my large Misti and stamped my image on Bristol Smooth cardstock and die cut it out. I usually stencil my image before cutting it out, but this image is so large that stencils (6x6) fits around the cut image better. To add some depth and details, I used some Prismacolor pencils. I love how this turned out!

Spellbinders Cheerful Chirps collection, 2 card designs

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing 2 cards using the Cheerful Chirps collection which is part of Spellbinders June release. This collection features 3 adorable bird die sets, a sentiment stamp set and a 3D Embossing folder. 💖

Scroll down for both cards and a complete supply list.

My first card features the Pretty Birds die set and the Cross My Heart 3D embossing folder for the background. I lightly inked the background with soft pink ink and adhered it to my card base. I love the adorable birds AND the pretty flowers in this set.

Notice all the sparkle on the bird perch? I used a piece of the Antique White Assortment pack from the Treasured Cardstock collection. There are 4 new colors released this month, Aquamarine, Onyx, Ruby and Antique White! You should check them out, they are stunning!

My second card features the Flying High die set and the Spread Your Wings Sentiments stamp set. This regal bird and the flowers in the set are so sweet I had to make it a shaker card! I made my shaker element with the Scallop and Stitched Edge Oval die set.  

I love how these turned out! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

3D Embossing Folder Blackout Technique You Are Wonderful card

 Hi crafty friends! I have a fun card to share using the 3D Embossing Folder Blackout technique. This is my first time doing this technique and I am on the fence if I like it or not. With this technique, you color the REVERSE side of the embossed image and then drag your black ink pad over the flat "raised" areas.

There are a few videos on YouTube if you want a visual of how to do this.

AMARYLLIS GARDEN 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER AND WONDERFUL SCRIPT SENTIMENTS
 

  I used the gorgeous Amaryllis Garden 3D Embossing folder from the newest collection by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders called Amaryllis Christmas!

Yana's new collection features die sets, Glimmer hot foil and BetterPress Plates, layering stencils and a 3D Embossing Folder. Check out what I made and scroll down for a list of all the supplies I used.

I used blending brushes and inked the flowers with Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry and Lumberjack Plaid and the leaves and stems with Rustic Wilderness. Keep in mind, with this technique, you are coloring the RECESSED side.

I used a yellow glitter gel pen for the stamen accents. The sentiment is from the Wonderful Script Sentiments dies combined with the coordinating hot foil set.

Lastly I added a tiny flower bloom from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs die set with a single gem in the center.

This technique is a bit messy up close (which is why I'm on the fence), but overall gives a fun dramatic look. Have you tried this technique? I'm curious!

Pink pastel fall wax seal card

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing another fall themed card using a couple items from Spellbinders' great new fall collection called Falling Leaves. I used the Oak Forest 3D Embossing Folder and the Pumpkin Trio 3D Wax Seal. Check it out!

PUMPKIN TRIO 3D WAX SEAL AND OAK FOREST 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER
 

This Pumpkin Trio 3D Wax Seal is STUNNING. I absolutely love the dimension in these 3D wax seal stamps. You really can see the difference it makes.

I wanted to change things up from the traditional fall colors and try something new and light. I used the Autumn Leaves die set (this is a must have in your stash for fall cards) and die cut a variety of leaves in white, ivory and pale pink.

For the embossed background, I used the Oak Forest 3D Embossing Folder. I tried inking it with a few color combos and ended up keeping it white. I can't help myself and I loved the way it turned out.

Happy Hour features 5 die sets, 1 3D embossing folder, 1 sentiment BetterPress plate, and 1 BetterPress background plate with coordinating layering stencils and last but not least a new rectangles and label die set. 💖

If you missed my last card, you can check out the post HERE.

SUNSET IN A GLASS AND TROPICAL FLARE DIE SETS

 

My cards use the Sunset in a Glass and Tropical Flair die sets. I just love the shape of this glass, it's large enough to decorate in many ways. The set comes with dies to create a gorgeous sunset scene you have to check it out!

I wanted to come up with a fun fruity drink and my google search showed drinks called Magical Color Changing Cocktails. They are SO colorful and beautiful I had to recreate one 😍

The background is embossed with the now retired Orange Peeled Quilt 3D Embossing folder and I inked the edges with a little of the Peacock Feathers. The sentiment is from the Cheers Sentiment BetterPress plate from the collection and I foiled it with Matte Silver onto glossy black cardstock. The set has sentiments perfect for birthdays, meeting for drinks, Christmas and Halloween.

Spellbinders Playful Penguins Christmas card

 Hi everyone! I have a fun Christmas critter card using the adorable Playful Penguins die set from Simon Hurley's latest collection from Spellbinders.

PLAYFUL PENGUINS AND LAYERING SNOWFLAKES DIE SET

The Playful Penguins die set features 3 penguins and a few accessories including hats, sweater and mittens, a wreath and gift. So cute! I used the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D embossing folder inked with some light blue in as the background. I have my 2 penguins on top of the largest snowflake from the Layering Snowflakes die set which is also from the collection.

I love the tiny pops of red I put in the bow and hat.

 The fluff on their hats is from liquid applique! It's my favorite way to add a little wow factor!
