Hero Arts February 2026 Spring Tweetings stamp and die set

Hi crafty friends! Hero Arts is out with their February release and today I'm sharing a cute spring chicks circle card using the adorable Spring Tweetings stamp and die set which is part of the Eggstra Special collection and features Stamp and die sets, a cover plate, stencils and even landscaping dies! Everything you need for your spring cards💛
Just look at these cute chicks and eggs which are from the Spring Tweetings stamp and die set-so adorable! I stamped all the elements, colored with my Copic markers and then die cut out. I added stickles to the colored eggs for a bit of sparkle!
The patterned papers I used are from the Lawn Fawn 6x6 Rainbow Ever After (which is sadly out of stock), I used a striped piece for the base and an ombre piece for the next layer.
It's been awhile since I did some good ole stamping and coloring and it was really fun. I love how this turned out!! Stay tuned for inspiration using another stamp and die set from the release called No One Lilac You! 💜

Spellbinders Good Fortune Horse circle card

Hi crafty friends! 2026 is the Year of the Horse beginning on February 17, 2026. To honor that Spellbinders released a stamp and die set called Good Fortune Horse. This beautiful horse die set comes with beautiful layered mane and tail and an ornate saddle, and comes with 4 sentiments to take you into the new year!
I looked online and found some really beautiful Year of the Horse images. I haven't made a circle card in awhile, so I used the Postage Edge Circles and Everlasting Circles die sets for the base. I kept things red and gold with pops of black. Of course I added some pretty flowers, this time I used the Floral Spray die set. I thought the shape and scale of the flowers went with this beautiful horse!
 I love how this turned out!!

Simon Hurley Spooktacular: 2 card designs

 Hi crafty friends! I have 2 fun Halloween cards to share today. I am using the new Spooktacular collection by Spellbinders designed by Simon Hurley.
 Check out both my cards and scroll down for a clickable supply list.
First up is a circle card using 2 of the items from the collection. The fabulous cat is from the Bewitched die set and the split background uses both the Damask 3D embossing folder and paper from the A2 Spooky paper pad. Oh and the little bats are from a die set released last year called Haunted House (sold out). 
Note: Bewitched is currently sold out on Spellbinders website, but is in stock at Scrapbook.com
Next we have these darling ghosts which are from the Boo Crew die set. These ghosts are so cute and the set has a variety of hats, ties and glasses options! Once again, I used some of the A2 Spooky paper pad along the bottom.
 I love how both of these turned out!

Nordic Pretty Petal Flower Circle Card

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a cute circle card featuring the Nordic Pretty Petal Flower die set by Poppystamps.

 The Nordic Pretty Petal Flower die set has a large flower base, 3 petal overlay designs and a variety of flower center options. For my flower, I die cut the base with pink cardstock and the overlay pattern a lighter shade. The leaves were die cut from the flower base with pale green cardstock. I cut 2 of the "petals" and flipped them around and you have leaves!

You're So Sweet Strawberry Circle Card

  Hi everyone! I have a fun strawberry circle card to share today. I used the Berry Sweet die set, Stitched Scallop Circles die set and a few other products by Scrapbook.com
BERRY SWEET STAMP AND DIE SETS    
 
 It's been awhile since I made a circle card! I recently bought the Honeybee Stamps Stitched Scallop Circles die set and wanted to use them, so when I was cleaning out and found these die cuts left over from this older card, I thought they would work together perfectly. 
I die cut the card base from the scallop circles and then die cut 2 patterns from the Berry Sweet A2 paper pad. I cut one of the patterns in half and adhered it over the other pattern. I then trimmed a small strip of the white with black dots paper and black cardstock and adhered it below the half mark. I wrapped the twine around 2 times and tied into a bow.
The strawberries and leaves were die cut from 2 shades of green and red cardstock and inked a bit of red and green ink to give them more dimension. You can see a little shine on the strawberry leaves and that is from the Lime Green glitter brush marker. I added a little white flower and a gold pearl as the finishing touch.

Die-Cutting Essentials Magazine feature with Alex Syberia Designs

 Hi everyone! I can finally share some exciting news! The wonderful team over at Alex Syberia Designs asked me to create 5 cards for a special feature in the new Die-Cutting Essentials magazine (Issue #109)! I was so excited and honored to be asked! The magazine issue is now available and I can share my projects with you.

The feature was all about BIRTHDAY cards and had a color palette of bright pink, light pink, orange, light blue and green! It was so much fun to create these. I want to give a special shout out to Natalia with ASD for being so wonderful to work with. Now on to my cards.
First up is fun blooms card using the Fantasy Flowers Die set. I lightly inked each of the blooms at the base of the flower with coordinating ink to give a bit of depth. The delicate cover plate is called Tiny Flowers and I die cut it with white cardstock and adhered it over a light blue card base.

Next up is a simple flower blooms card using the Delicate Blooms Die set. This one is really simple and quick to put together. The background was made with the Elegant Stripes Hot Foil plate with light blue foil.

Next up is an elegant birthday card using the Floral Balloon Extravaganza Stamp and Die set. The background was made the Dazzling Fireworks Cover Plate on white cardstock and then I added Diamond Stickles to the fireworks die cut marks! So pretty and sparkly. And that balloon image is so so pretty, I colored it with Copic markers.

Next up is a colorful birthday cake card using the Celebrate with Cake Stamp and Die set. I stamped the birthday cake with light blue ink and stamped the cake accents and platter with a darker blue and die cut them out and assembled. The background was made the Tiny Dots Hot Foil plate with bright pink foil.

Last, but not least, is a fun little circle card that features 2 of the adorable pandas from the Cheerful Panda Moments Stamp and Die set. The circle card base is made with the Nested Stitched Circle Die set and lightly blended green and blue ink for a faint backgroud for the pandas. 
 
Alex Syberia products used on these cards:
Fantasy Flowers Die Set
Tiny Flowers Cover Plate
Nested Scalloped Frames Die Set
Elegant Stripes Hot Foil Plate
Tiny Dots Hot Foil Plate
 
Other supplies:
