Hero Arts Beary Sweet collection by Carly Tee, Day 2

Hi crafty friends! Yesterday was release day over at Hero Arts and I shared 3 cards using the new Beary Sweet collection designed by one of my FAVORITE crafty friends and human, Carly Tee!! If you missed those cards, you can check them out HERE.
Today I'm sharing another 3 more cards using the collection and first up are 2 cards using the Big Bear die set and the Big Hugs die set for the sentiment.
CARD 2:
Both of these cards started with a piece of patterned paper for the background. I then cut the bears and HUGS sentiment and I had each of the bears hold a candy gummy ring. I mean how cute are they? 💖
 
Lastly, I have a card using the Penny Candy Jar die set and a die cut sentiment from the Candy Kebob die set. Like the others, I started with a piece of fun pattern paper and die cut the candies with colors to match.
I also want to let you all know about the NEW Locking Compartment storage container from Spellbinders. I used it to help me sort my die cuts when I was making my cards for Carly's collection. It worked great! It has 24 compartments and the lid is closed nothing moves or gets mixes up!
I love all the cards I made with this collection and I hope you have a chance to check it out!

Spellbinders All My Senses Collection by Jaycee Gaspar

Hi crafty friends! It's release day over at Spellbinders and today I'm sharing inspiration from the super cool All My Senses Collection designed by Jaycee Gaspar! For us older Gen Xers, this collection reminds me of all the color block art and fashion of the 80s! The collection features 3 die sets, 1 sentiment press and die set, 2 press plates and 1 layering stencil set.
After seeing this collection, I IMMEDIATELY pulled out my DIY Color Deck cards and found the 3 cards with fabulous women images. This image PERFECTLY depicted the feel of the gorgeous die set. I was thrilled that the papers from the A2 Charming paper pad matched the colors and vibe of the inspiration card - it was all meant to be!!
My card uses the Fragmented Gaze die set and the sentiment is from All My Senses sentiment press and die set. I foiled the sentiments with my favorite foil color, Cobalt Blue 💙 I love how this turned out and stay tuned for another card using this collection.
 
Also released today is a new collection designed by Yana Smakula called Yana's Tulips. It is darling, so be sure to check it out!

Spellbinders March 2026 Large Die, Press & Foil and Embossing Folder Clubs

Hi crafty friends! It's March 7th and that means that the Spellbinder's clubs are open!! Today I'm sharing a card using the Spellbinders March Large Die of the Month, Embossing Folder and Press and Foil clubs!
You can check out all the March clubs HERE.
Scroll down for a full list of supplies.

Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 5th of each month, which means existing Club Members will be able to cancel subscriptions or make edits to payment or shipping info up until the 4th of each month.
2026 MARCH LARGE DIE, PRESS & FOIL AND EMBOSSING FOLDER CLUBS
 
This month's Large Die set is called Classic Kicks and features this converse high top shoe, some barbecue utensils and lots of floral accents! The Embossing Folder is called Solar Flare and it has a really cute sun beam with stars and dots accents throughout, and the Press and Foil is called Greetings Maker and features 17 bold words and a die!
I googled "colorful converse shoes" and was surprised at all the amazing styles, back in my day (cough, cough) they mostly came in black! 😂 Anyway, they have ombre styles now, and I couldn't resist using 3 of my favorite Distress Oxide ink colors and ink blended the shoes and flowers. I love the large bold font of the Greetings Maker Press and Foil and used white foil on glossy black cardstock and used the fabulous Solar Flare Embossing Folder as the background. Everything about this card makes me smile! I love how this turned out!
