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 💙 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!

2026 JANUARY LARGE DIE
 

This month's Large Die set is called Hummingbirds Delight and features 2 beautiful hummingbirds, a postage edged Polaroid type frame and beautiful blooming flowers.

As you can see from my first photo, I took color inspiration from the beautiful Color Deck card. I was drawn to the gorgeous photo and embraced the challenge to only use colors from the photo. For small pops of sparkle I used Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock for the flower centers and parts of the bird's wings and tail.  Lastly, I used a sentiment from the Ideal Moments BetterPress plate and dies and I pressed it with black ink, I love the variety of sentiments in this set! I love how this turned out!
