Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun Slimline Pop-up card using new products from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott.

For this card I used the Spread Your Wings die set from the Another Surprise Inside Collection which was released in July. This die set includes dies to create a butterfly pop-up card as I have done here. But it also includes a number of smaller butterflies which can be used to embellish the card.

I love that it fits inside a Slimline card.

I added a sentiment to the top section of the card, which is from the new Verses & Sentiments stamp set also from the Another Surprise Inside Collection.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

 Today I am sharing a fun Fish Bowl shaped card using dies from Trinity Stamps.

For this card, I have used the Fish Bowl Die set which coordinates with their Circle Card Die set.

I decided not to use the Circle Card die set for this card, using just the elements included in the Fish Bowl die set to create the shaped card.

There is a fish included in the die set, but I decided to pull out a Spellbinders Club kit from last year. I found these fish already assembled which were the perfect size for this card.

The sentiment is also from Spellbinders.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing four Christmas cards I created using products from Altenew.

For this card I used the Winterberry 3D Embossing Folder & coordinating stencils. I figured while I have all the inks etc out I might as well make 4 as one, after all I need to make a number of cards to send out each Christmas.

Here is a close up of my card. After stencilling the card, I added gold splatter to the card.

For the sentiments I found some already made gold glimmer foiled Christmas sentiments. I had two of each type of sentiments, so I used those on these cards. 

This is the same card as the one above, just the sentiment is differed. Two say "Season's Greetings" and the other two say "Merry Christmas".

I kept the inside fairly simple, added a red strip that I also gold splattered to the bottom of the card.

I also stamped a Christmas sentiment in gold to the top portion of the card. This is an older stamp set from my stash.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two A6 Christmas cards I created using products from Altenew.

To create the poinsettia I used Altenew’s Lush Botanicals: Poinsettia Die set & 3D Embossing Folder. 

I added a textured background using Spellbinders July 2026 3D Embossing Folder of the Month … Festive Greetings.

The sentiment is from the Merry Messages Betterpress Plate which i foiled with gold glimmer foil.

I stamped an older Christmas sentiment to the inside of my card using gold ink.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun summer time themed card using products from Spellbinders. This card is a 5 x 7 card.

I found some older beach themed patterned paper in my stash which I had from Divinity Designs. So I pulled that out to use on this card.

I recently purchased the Surfboard die set, as I had seen a few other people use it with the hula girl. So I also pulled out the hula girl which was a bonus die set from the June 2026 All Clubs Crate.
