 Hi Crafty Friends, I resisted the City Holiday die set designed by Yana Smackula Spellbinders when it was released last year. But then I saw someone use it on a card for one of the recent club kits which I really loved, so I decided I needed to add it to my stash. Then recently Spellbinders released a few add on sets to turn a Christmas die set into an Everyday die set, so seeing I now had the die I added those my stash as well. This is the card I created using those sets. I love the awnings and flower boxes. I made a 5 x 7 card as it gives you more room to add a scene to the card. I added trees to the card using the Trails End die set also from Spellbinders and added some clouds to the sky. I Betterpressed and die cut out my sentiment and added it to one of the windows. 
I kept the inside of my card fairly simple, adding grass and a tree. I added one more of the Betterpressed sentiments to the top of the card.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a 16th birthday card I created with a Lego theme. As soon as I saw this Let’s Connect stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, I knew I had to order it as I have two Lego enthusiasts in my family.
For this card I used the Diamond Showstopper die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott.
I added the “16” to the middle of the diamonds which helps to keep the diamond portion of the card intact.
For the sentiment I used Concord & 9th’s Big Day Birthday die sets. I cut off the “IG” from the word “Big” to create the “BDay”.
Here is a look at the back of my card, I added the birthday sentiment which is from Altenew’s Birthday Builder stamp set. The other sentiment is from the Let’s Connect stamp set.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a 50th birthday card I made for my eldest daughter’s birthday recently. For this card I used the 5 x 7 Side Panel Card Showstopper die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott. The numbers are also from Made to Surprise. 
To decorate my card I used Papertrey Ink’s Cake Builder, Build-A-Party Hat & This is Big - Birthday die sets.
I added a sentiment from Made to Surprise to the panel on the back of my card.
Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a Mini Slimline card using products from Spellbinders April 2026 All Clubs Crate. The pansies, pot & zigzag panel are all from the Pansy Seed Co. die set. I layered this onto a Mini Slimline card, embossing the blue panel with the Market Weave Embossing Folder. I added a sentiment using the Fresh Packed Sentiment stamp & die set.
For the inside of the card, I added another pansy & zigzag panel,
I added two sentiments, the second being from the Ears to Spring stamp set.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 birthday card I created recently.
For this card I used Concord & 9th’s Big Day Birthday Stencils designed by Kristina Werner to create the background panel. I used the Big Day Birthday dies to add the sentiment.
For the inside of my card I had a leftover piece of the stencilled card, so I added that to the right edge of my card. I then used the Big Day Birthday stamp set & an older Altenew birthday stamp set to add the sentiment.
