Today is the 6th and the window is NOW open!
You can check out all the February clubs HERE.

2026 FEBRUARY SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH
 
This month's Small Die set is called Spring Haul and features a cute wheelbarrow with options of cute Easter eggs, chicks, flowers, carrots and bunnies to fill it! I spelled out my sentiment from an alpha die from the Spell it Out Fridge, Large Die set May 2025.
For my background, I chose a pretty green with white flowers piece of pattern paper from the Easter Basket 6x6 pad. I used the largest die from the Perfect Touch Rectangles die set to cut the white panel and then die cut my spring and Easter goodies in a variety of happy spring colors! I love how this turned out! Stay tuned for inspiration I have using the Large Die club!!

Pretty Pink Posh 2026 Spring and Easter release

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh for their February Spring and Easter release! You may have seen some sneak peeks from their design team over the last few days showcasing cute Spring/Easter themed (spring flowers, bunnies, chicks, watering cans, etc) stamps, dies and stencil sets!!
πŸ’₯The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.πŸ’₯
Both of my cards start with some papers from the A2 Cottontail paper pad.  
My fun shaker card uses the Daffodil Shaker die set and the Large Spring Shadow die and to fill my little shaker I used the Pastel Dreams Shaker Beads. I kept the colors pretty true to the pattern paper and added some white splatter to the background. I wanted a pop of dimension and sparkle, so I used some glitter foam for the Spring sentiment.
This cute umbrella card uses the umbrella and sentiment dies from the Spring Holder Addons die set (this is the add on set to the sweet Chick Holder die set). The little flowers are from the Stitched Spring Flowers die set. I used the largest die from the Eylet Rectangle die set with white cardstock and added a pop of yellow to ground all the flowers.
 
I love how these turned out!! Stay tuned for more inspiration using this release!!

Spellbinders This is Life Collection, Part 2

Hi crafty friends! This is part 2 of inspiration with for the This Is Life collection from Spellbinders. Things in the US are really trying and pretty much a dumpster fire right now, so the timing for the collection is spot on!! We need to keep our joy and sense of humor when faced with scary and difficult times and this collection really does give me a chuckle.
UGH CLEAR STAMP AND DIE SET
 
My cards use the new Ugh stamp and die set and a tiny pop of fire from the Dumpster Fire stamp and die set. I kept things clean and simple with the same cardstock strips I used on my first 2 cards.
Just in case you missed my first post, here are the first 2 cards from the collection. 
I also played along in this week's Freshly Made Sketches 721. I thought the sketch lent itself perfectly for the cardstock strips design element I used for this collection! This is a fun sketch, play along if you can.
To add a bit of sparkle, I used my Sunshine Yellow Glimmer Brush marker to the fire peeking out from the "h". Quick, easy and no glitter fallout!! I love how this turned out!

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.

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 πŸ’™ 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!
