Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing two Slimline Sympathy cards I created receiving the Press & Foil plate from Spellbinders February 2026 All Clubs Crate. When I first started playing with this particular plate back in February when I received my kit, I foiled the plate 3 times, but only ended up. using one of the foiled panels at the time. I have had this set on my desk since then wanting to use the other two panels to make sympathy cards which I have finally done. 
One of the panels I had foiled with pink foil (two actually, because the original one I posted was also pink). So I used pink inks with the included stencil to make the tulips below the foiled tulips pink. I added a sympathy sentiment from Spellbinders You Are Everything Sentiments Betterpress plate, which is foiled but using black foil for the pink card. 
For the yellow card, I used gold foil for both the tulips & the sentiment. The embossing folder used on both cards is called Tufted.
I added a sympathy sentiment to the inside of both cards, for the pink card I stamped using black ink and for the yellow one I used gold ink. The sentiment is from Paper Inspiration and I have had this in my stash for many years.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I have a fun gnome themed Arch Accordion card to share with you. This card uses products from Spellbinders March 2024 Club Kits and two of their Arch die sets. I have been wanting to make this style of card for sometime, so am happy that i finally got around to making one. For the arch shapes I used Spellbinders Essential Arches for the base and inner arches. I used the Colorblock Accent Arches to add the layer the creates the fun pattern around the edges. To join the arches I cut 2 inches panels that measured approx 3 inches in height. I scored at 1 inch and then glued these to the bottom front of the arches that needed to be joined. Adding the tabs to the front means they are hidden when you add your layers on top. To decorate my panels I used the Glimmer of the month from March 2024 ... Sketched Lines. I used gold glimmer foil to add the lines to the white arches and also to create the red sentiments at the bottom of each arch. The gnomes are from the Stamp of the month ... Storytime Gnomes. I also used one of the sentiments from this stamp set for the sentiment on the left panel. I used some older Whimsy Stamps Speech Bubbles dies to add the stamped sentiments in, doing a little of creative partial die cutting to make the dies fit the sentiments. The other two sentiments are from an older book themed Mama Elephant stamp set from my stash.
This is a look at the front of the card, when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card using products from Spellbinders March 2024 Club Kits. For the blue background panel I used the Checkered Scallops Embossing Folder, which was the embossing folder for that month. I used the books from the Large Die of the Month ... Classic Tales. The Owl is from the Small Die ... Wise Owl. For the sentiment I gold glimmered the sentiments from the Glimmer of the month ... Sketched Lines. To finish off the card I added some gems.
For the inside of the card, I added another panel of the embossed blue card along the bottom. I added the open book on top of this panel. I finished the card by adding a sentiment using the Stamp of the month Storytime Gnomes.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a fun sewing themed Jar shaped Easel card I created for a friends birthday. I have been making her sewing themed cards for as long as I can remember.
For my card I used two die sets from Spellbinders April 2024 Club Kits ... Pins & Needles Jar die set and Faux Stitched Sentiments & Floss die set. Unfortunately both of these die sets are out of stock now, but fortunately I had them so I could make this card.
As you can see, I decided to create a jar shaped Easel Card, adding the sewing themed images to the jar and also the base (which is also jar shaped).
Here is a look at the card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing two more fun Oval shaped Christmas cards using products from Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas Collection. 
For both my cards I used the Essential Arches & Color Block Arches die sets to create the oval shaped card bases. To decorate the card above I used the Penguin die set using the body from the Bear die set. I added the cute glasses/spectacles also included I the die set. The present is a sticker. 
All the sentiments used on these cards are from the Spectacular Holiday Sentiments stamp/die set.

For my second card, I used the Deer die set again with the Bear die set for the body.
Here is a look at the inside of the card, which is the same as the first card other than the paper.
