Spellbinders Poppy Song collection, Black and White cards

Hi crafty friends! I'm back today with a card duo using the gorgeous Poppy Song collection by Spellbinders. I did the cards almost identical, one in black and one in white. Do you have a favorite?

LEAF & BLOOM, HELLO FRIEND AND PLAYFUL STITCHED PANELS DIE SETS

My cards use the Leaf & Bloom die set which features these 3 poppy flowers and stems as well as a gorgeous leafy sprig. The Hello Friend sentiment is part of the Essentially Yours Sentiments collection and the double stitched panel is from the Playful Stitched Panels die set and is fast becoming my favorite!!

Do you have a favorite? I really want to try to use more black and colored card bases as I am such a white cardstock girlie. I am torn, I like both equally 😍

Spellbinders April 2026 Large Die of the Month Club

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card using the Spellbinders April Large Die of the Month and a sentiment from the Clear Stamp/Die of the Month. Today is the 18th and the window is still open!

You can check out all the April clubs HERE.

2026 APRIL LARGE DIE AND CLEAR STAMP OF THE MONTH

This month's Large Die set is called Market Tote and features this fabulous tote with TONS of goodies to put inside. They include a baguette, a variety of root veggies, milk jar, these tulips and so much more! The Clear Stamp/Die of the Month is called Fresh-Packed and has 8 sentiments with dies, a netted shopping tote die and stamps of some fruit and a small flower bouquet.

I love a good flower tote bag! So of course I had to make my tote with some pattern paper from the new Lawn Fawn Bitsy Blooms paper pack. I kept things simple and spring like with using only the tulips dies from the set. Of course there is so much more to use, it's almost overwhelming.

I love how this turned out and have put it with my stash of birthday cards.

Hero Arts Tranquil Garden collection

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing 2 super clean and simple card designs using the sets from the new Tranquil Garden collection from Hero Arts.

My cards use the Lotus Flower die set and sentiments from the Lovely Labels Press and Foil plates. I added some interest to my lotus flowers by sprinkling in a small pattern paper on a few of the die cuts and adding some ink blending and glitter pen to the tips. I think these simple technique adds so much to the overall look. 💗

For the sentiment, I kept it simple and just pressed them with black ink. The set comes with 4 sentiments, dies to cut them out as well as 3 frame options and a die for them as well. The sentiments are for very timeless and can be used on many cards!

Here are the sets I used:

Lotus Flower die set (set of 33) $22.99

Lovely Labels Press and Foil plates (set of 12) $21.99
