Hero Arts + Carly Tee Beary Sweet IG Hop

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be a part of the Hero Arts + Carly Tee Beary Sweet IG Hop. Carly's new collection, Beary Sweet is BACK IN STOCK and we're celebrating over on Instagram. This adorable collection is filled with cuddly bears, sweet treats, and charming details to help you create projects that are playful and oh-so-sweet.😍
My card duo uses the adorable small bears and heart from the Bear Hugs die set and the sentiment is from the Let's Stick Together stamp setI arranged them rainbow order on a panel die cut with my favorite new label shape, the Playful Stitched Panels. The background is embossed with the Polka Dot and Posy Duo 3D Folder.  
Designer Tip: The tiny dotted accents between my bears are the negative pieces from their eyes! I love keeping tiny extras and use them for embellishments. I love how these turned out!

Scrapbook.com Cardmaking Kit, beautiful floral dies, stamp set and pretty papers!

Hi crafty friends! I LOVE me a good cardmaking kit, so when Scrapbook.com comes out with the crafty kits for their SBC Fest classes I always take a close look. My card today comes from the Spring 2026 SBC Fest card kit from Laura Graff's class. I fell in love with everything in this kit!

Here is Laura's complete kit which is priced at $32.99
There are 7 total SBC Fest 2026 class kits still available and you can check them out here.
AND the classes are uploaded online, so you can watch and play along any time! You can watch them here.
Instead of my usual white background, I chose a darker print from the Heirloom paper pad as my background. I chose the colors from the paper, I love doing that since it's all guaranteed to work. I worked with light peach, white and 2 shades of blue. I felt the floral cluster needed a big bloom in the center, so I did use one of the flowers from the Sunnylane Florals die set to supplement the florals in the die set. I love how this turned out.

Spellbinders We All Have Baggage collection

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a fun card using some of the We All Have Baggage collection from Spellbinders designed by Sheri Ballantyne. This collection features 4 die sets (2 with a stamp set) and 1 separate sentiment stamp set. 
To start my card, I picked out some pattern papers from the new 6x8 Heirloom paper pack by Scrapbook.com. I thought the vintage feel of these papers were perfect for this card. The suitcase and sentiment are from the Retro Luggage and Sentiments die and stamp set. I love all the details on this suitcase and had a lot of fun putting this together.
I stamped a few of the elements that came in the stamp set to create a custom background and I die cut it with the Nested Postage Labels die set.
Note:  Retro Luggage and Sentiments die and stamp set is sold out, be sure to sign up for notifications when it comes back in stock.

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 😍
