Hi Crafty Friends,
As I have two grandchildren, I need two treat holders to give to them for Halloween. This is the second one I made using the Stitching Die of the Month from Spellbinders All Crates Club for August 2026. If you missed seeing the other one I made scroll down a few days and you will find it.
Although this is a stitching die set, I opted not to do the stitching, but I still used the insert dies that create the holes as I thought that added to the "aged" look a mummy would have. This die set is called Frank-N-Stitch.
I also used the 3D Embossing Folder ... Spooky Web for the black back panel. This embossing folder has two different designs on the one folder and I used the stripes for this project.
To create the treat bag itself, I again pulled out the Divinity Designs Card Caddy & Gift Bag die set, omitting the handle included in the set.
Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am back with a 5 x 7 Halloween card I created using some of the products from Spellbinders All Clubs Crate for August 2026. Most of the dies used on this card are from the Large Die of the Month ... Boo Mobile. What fun! I added a road to the bottom of the card, using a die from Lawn Fawn that I have had in my stash for years.
For the inside of the card, I repeated the road at the bottom of the card. I added a sentiment from the Clear Stamp/Die of the Month ... Trick or Snark. I also added a few bats around the sentiment.
 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing a Christmas card I created recently. I didn't get around to making many Christmas cards for August, but I did make over 20 in July so I guess that is a good start. I will work on making more in September. For this card I pulled out my supplies from Hero Arts Vintage Vinyl Collection again. This time using the smaller record from the Record Collection die set and also a couple of the stamp sets which are all linked below in the supply list. This card is inspired by one Nicole Sphor made recently on a YouTube live she did, I did make a couple of changes to mine, but it is very similar to hers. I used Altenew's Festive Greenery die set to added a little touch of Christmas to the card.
For the inside of the card, I decided to use the cut of pieces of the records from the front of the card ... why waste them. I also added a strip of embossed cardstock to the bottom edge.
Finally I added a sentiment from one of the stamp sets.
Hi Crafty Friends, The Spellbinders All Clubs Crate for August 2026 was Halloween themed. Now I don't normally do a lot of Halloween stuff, as it isn't all that big a deal here in Australia where I live. However this club kit looked like lots of fun so I decided to get it anyway and so I got busy making some fun projects for my grandkids using the sets included in the kit. Sometimes it's fun to do something you don't normally get to play with. I only ended up making a few cards as I don't need a lot of those. Instead I went with treat holders, money cards etc. For my first project I created a treat holder, I will fill it up with some fun goodies to give to one of my grandchildren. To decorate the bag, I used the Scaredy Cat die set which was one of the bonus die sets from the kit.
To create the bag, I used Divinity Designs Card Caddy & Gift Bag die set die cutting it from purple cardstock. The die set does come with a handle, but I decided not to use it for these bags.
I added clouds to the front of the bag using a cloud stencil and black ink. I also added a circle for the moon.
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.
