 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am excited to share a sneak peek of the new products being released by Karen Burniston on Thursday 23rd July. 
For my card today I have used the new Tool Box Pop-up die set along with the Tool Box Stage Add-Ons and the Tool Box Charms die sets. The tool images included in the Tool Box Pop-up die set are the same as the ones included in the existing Tool Box Charms die set, the only difference is they are mirror image which means you can back your tools if you like so they can be seen complete however you turn the card. 
I used the base from the Tool Box Stage Add-Ons to create the border on either side of the edge of my card. For the sentiment I used the Tool Times Sayings which is a new Clear Stamp set being released. I used one of the labels from the Greetings Labels die set to add the sentiment and a blank one on the top right for a hand written message.
Here is a view of my card from the back, so you can see the back of the tool box.
I kept the front of my card fairly simple, adding the border the same as the inside of the card. I added a Father's Day sentiment from the Fishing Clear Stamp set.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing another card I created recently using some of the products from Spellbinders All Clubs Crate for June 2026.
For this card I used the Stencil of the month to create the floral image. I then cut this down to fit onto the centre of a Slimline card. Before attaching it to my card, I used my Betterpress to add the sentiment from the Press & Foil of the month.
I embossed the panels on the base of my card using one of the embossing folders from the May 2026 Embossing Folder of the month.
For the inside of my card, I used the stencils again using all but the one with the leaf.
I added a sentiment using one from Kristina Werner.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 stencilled card I created recently. For this card, the swan image has been stencilled, using the Swan Serenade Stencil set from Altenew. After adding all the ink to through the various layers, I trimmed it down so it would fit on a 5 x 7 card base. For the card base I took a piece of pink cardstock and embossed it using Spellbinders Woven 3D Embossing Folder, which I then swiped with white pigment ink. To finish off the card I added a "swan" themed sentiment which is from Waffle Flower Crafts.
For the inside of the card I added another sentiment and the left over panel of embossed cardstock to the bottom edge.
Hi Crafty Friends, Fortunately Santa Claus is still a few months away (almost 5 I think), so don't panic. But as it is July and many cardmakers celebrate Christmas in July. I figured it was a good time to get started on making some of my cards for this year.
Last year I decorated my Christmas crackers using this Sizzix/Tim Holtz Santa, each Santa had the name of the person the cracker was for on it. After everyone had pulled their crackers I was able to rescue 4 of the Santas before they ended up in the garbage. So I pulled those out to you on my cards today.
As I needed to remove the names from the images, there were a couple of repairs I had to make to the belt and gloves. But that didn't take all that long.
I decided to make a shaped card using the stand from Spellbinders Pink Lemonade die set.
I added two sentiments to the stand using an older Honey Bee Stamps St. Nick stamp set which I embossed in white.
I added three die cut snowflakes to each of the cards to finish off the front.
For the inside of my card I added another of the sentiments from the stamp set I used on the front.
I added a die cut Christmas tree, which is from Karen Burniston's Evergreen Pivot Panels die set.
Aloha Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a Slimline card I created using products from Spellbinders June 2026 All Clubs Crate.
For this card I am featuring the cute penguins from the Penguin in Paradise die set, which is a bonus die set for subscribers who subscribe to all the clubs for the month.
For the sky area I used the Whimsy Skies 3D Embossing Folder. I used a Lawn Fawn Wave border die to create the ocean panel.
I die cut 4 penguins for the front alternating the colours of their hula skirt and head piece.
I die cut the torches which is from the Aloha Hula die set another bonus die set.
To finish off the card, I added the word "Aloha" using the sentiment from the Tropical Blooms die set, which is the large die of the month.
For the inside of the card, I added another penguin to the bottom of my card and a sentiment from the This Way to Rainbows Clear Stamp set of the month.
