 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 Shaker card I created using products from Spellbinders June 2026 All Club Crate. I used the inner decorative frame die from the Mahalo Sea Turtle die set to cut a hole into my blue card. I then embossed this panel using the August 2025 3D Embossing Folder - Underwater Waltz. After embossing, I went over the raised area with white pigment ink to highlight the embossed areas. I then die cut a the outer & inner frame die from holographic card and adhered it over the blue piece on the main card. I created a shaker card using foam tape and acetate, filling the opening with various colours of sequins, before adhered it to a 5 x 7 top folding white card. To decorate the front I added the turtle from the Mahalo Sea Turtle die set. I used the large die of the month - Tropical Blooms to create the flowers & foliage on the lower left side of my card. To finish off the front of my card, I added a sentiment using the This Way To Rainbows Clear Stamp /Die set. I also added a few of the holographic circles that fell out when making the frame to add randomly to the card.
For the inside of the card, I added a blue panel to the bottom of the card and then added the green turtle.
For the sentiment I added a birthday sentiment from LDRS Essential Birthday Sentiments stamp set.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 Hot Dog themed birthday card I created using products from Hero Arts & Spellbinders.
To create the background for my card I used Spellbinders Stripe Right die set to die cut card in two yellow colours and a red. I layered these stripes onto a piece of 5 x 7 thin white card in order of size until I filled the card. I then used Spellbinders Market Weave Embossing Folder to add texture to the panel. This was then cut down to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 and adhered to the front of a top folding 5 x 7 white card.
To decorate the card, I used Hero Arts Hot Diggity Dog and Squeeze Bottle die sets to create the hot dog and tomato sauce/mustard bottles. Before adding the sauce bottles to the card I used the Many Franks Clear Stamp set to add the fun sentiments to them.
I wanted to add a birthday sentiment to the bottom of the card so used one from Karen Burniton's Word Set 2 - Birthday die set.
To finiish the front of the card I added some red gems to it.
For the inside of the card I added a few more stripes to the bottom of the card, embossing these panels with the embossing folder used for the front.
I added two sentiments, one from the Hot Dog Clear Stamp set and the other from the Many Franks Clear Stamp set.
To finish off the inside I added two more sauce bottles on either side of the greeting.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a fun Accordion Stepper card using dies from Hero Arts Coney Club Collection.
To create the card base I used Studio Light's Building Blocks die set which creates the Accordion Stepper.
To decorate my card I used the Hot Dog Stamp set from Hero Arts, as you can see this has a hot dog/dachshund theme.
For the yellow and red panels on the smaller squares I used Hero Arts Cookout Stencil.
I added panels to the back of the card, so I could use the extra images and have a place to write a personal sentiment to the recipient when the time comes.

I used their Caterpillar Holder and Stitched Dandelions die sets to create this card.
I put the caterpillar on the front brown panel and then added the flowers to the back panel and surrounding the caterpillar at the back.
For the sentiment on the sign the caterpillar is holding I used a sentiment set from Karen Burniston called Bug Greetings.
