Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a fun interactive 5 x 7 card that I created recently. For the interactive portion of the card, I used the Slide & Hide Mechanism die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott. 
When you pull up the panel with the arrow, it reveals the background scene and a sentiment comes down from the bottom. To decorate the card I used dies from Spellbinders Summer Camp Collection designed by Allison Frazier.
Here is a look at the inside of my card, I used a sentiment from an older Honeybee Stamps stamp set.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing two 5 x 7 birthday cards using Spellbinders Poppy Background Betterpress Plate.
I used the Betterpress plate to black foil the image. I then used the coordinating stencils to add colour to the poppies. For this card I used red inks to get the red poppies.
I added a die cut sentiment which is from Papertrey Ink.
This card is done the same as the one above, however I added the inks with a lighter hand and without reinking to get the pink poppies.
I used the Woven 3D Enbossing Folder to add the texture to the base of my card.
For the inside of my card I used Concord & 9th’s Big Day Birthday Sentiment set to add the birthday greeting.

 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card using products from the Spellbinders April 2026 All Clubs Crate. For this card I used the Large die of the month … Market Tote, which includes dies to create the tote and the food & flower dies to fill it. To add texture to the tote I used the Embossing Folder of the Month … Market Weave. I added sentiments using the Fresh Packed stamp set which is the Clear Stamp of the Month.
For the inside of the card, I added more of the food die cuts to the bottom of the card. I added a sentiment to the sign which is from the Stitched Die of the Month.
iHi Crafty Friends,
Last week I shared two cards I created using a foiled Betterpress image. For my card today I am using the same image, but this image is the negative image that you can get by using the left over used foil and a solid plate.
This Betterpress plate is called Sweet Memories and was one of the monthly plates from the Betterpress Society.
For my card I created a Trifold card using the 5 x 7 Trifold Showstopper die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott.
Here is a look at the back of the card. I added a sentiment onto the white panel.
