Hero Arts | Thankful for You

Hello there, today I have a card to share combining a few of the Hero Arts Hero Studio September 2025 Kits. My main focus is the bonus item that you get when you purchase The Whole Studio. It is an adorable cat and mouse die this month! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my card by die cutting the cat and mouse from the Hero Arts Hero Studio September 2025 The Whole Studio. I cut the cat from Spellbinders Fog and Anchor ColorWheel Cardstock, cutting the nose part from white and the eyes and nose from Raven. The mouse was cut from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock in Fawn and Truffle, with the ears being Chiffon and the eyes and nose being Raven. 

The pieces were assembled and adhered together with liquid glue, adding a thin foam square behind the mouses head. I then took the Hero Arts Hero Studio September 2025 Cling of the Month and stamped it onto a panel of Spellbinders Lilac ColorWheel Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. 

I used watermark ink to so that there were some lighter areas and some slightly darker, rather than it be solid. I wanted it to kind of look like a quilt (I am not sure how successful I was with that though!). I then cut the panel using the Hero Arts Hexagon Infinity Dies. The hexagons were adhered to a white US A2 sized card base. The cat and mouse were then adhered on top with thin foam tape.

I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Hero Studio September 2025 Card Kit of the Month onto Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Hero Arts Purples Enamel Dots.

Concord & 9th | Holiday Charm

Hello there, I am back to share another two cards with you that I made using the latest Concord & 9th release that I have the pleasure of guest designing with. This time, I am using the wonderful Holiday Charm Inlay Die. As the name suggests, this is made to be an inlay die but you can absolutely use it in different ways too. I went with the traditional inlay for my cards though. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my cards by die cutting the Concord & 9th Holiday Charm Inlay Die 8 times from Concord & 9th Cardstock in Aqua Sky, Oceanside, Peacock, Ballet Slipper, Sweet Pea, Dragonfruit, Silver and White. If you just mixed and matched with what you had, this would give you 8 cards! 

For my first card, I started off with the Aqua Sky base. I adhered it to a white A2 sized card base using liquid glue and then started inlaying all the pieces. I used Silver for the bells and the ornament/bauble toppers, and used Oceanside and Peacock for the foliage. 

I used White for the berries, doves and sentiment, and the ornaments/baubles are Ballet Slipper. The holly berries and ribbon from the doves are Dragonfruit. I messed up here, I should have used the same colour as I what I used on the bow (and candy canes) which was Sweet Pea but I have only just noticed that! Oops! 

For the second card I used White as the base and again used Aqua Sky, Oceanside and Peacock for the foliage. I used Ballet Slipper for the foliage berries and doves and silver for the bells and ornament toppers (I did have to cut these a second time). The ornaments and holly berries are using the Sweet Pea cardstock. 

I used Dragonfruit for the candy canes, sentiment and bow at the top (again I messed up with the lower ribbon parts! I will have to see if I can correct that before I send these out!). 

I used Bearly Art Glue to adhere all the pieces and an embellishment tool came in handy to place all the pieces down!

The first card took me a little while but the second went a lot quicker! I have kept all the pieces from the other cardstock colours and so will make the others at some point! Whilst a little time consuming, these would be great to mass produce as once the die cutting is done, it's just a case of popping the pieces in like a puzzle. Also they are completely flat so perfect for posting/mailing! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Spellbinders | Gingerbread Train

Hello there and happy Monday to you! I'm was over on Spellbinders Blog yesterday sharing three cards using the Candy Christmas Collection by Stamperia. This fun collections features all things gingerbread - a plane, train, house and even gingerbread parachuting! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

The peek above shows the card I made using the Spellbinders Gingerbread Train Etched Dies. I used the main train plus one of the carriages but there is another carriage if you wanted to make a full slimline card. I made somewhat of a mini slimline - 3.5" x 6.5" and I thought the size worked well for this collection. The train is adorned with candy and sweets and it's fun to mix and match all the different elements. I didn't even add them all on to my train!

Concord & 9th | Accordion Tree Farm

Hello there, I am both delighted and honoured to be guest designing with Concord & 9th this month for their amazing holiday/Christmas release! I have loads to share with you but first up is the Accordion Tree Farm Bundle. This set is made to be used with the Accordion Card Base Dies but you can use it on it's own too! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

For my first card, I die cut the base layer of the trees in the Concord & 9th Accordion Tree Farm Die Set from Concord & 9th Wheat Cardstock. I then cut the top layers from Concord & 9th Sprout, Oceanside and Peacock Cardstock. I adhered the tops onto the bases with liquid glue. 

I took the adorable little fox from the Concord & 9th Accordion Woodland Dies and die cut him from Concord & 9th Spiced Cider, White and Ballet Slipper Cardstock. He was assembled and adhered using liquid glue. I then die cut the slope/landscape from the Concord & 9th Sleigh Full of Cheer Dies from white cardstock. 

I die cut a panel of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Concord & 9th Accordion Tree Farm Stamp Set on top using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then adhered the trees below using liquid glue, as well as thin foam squares. 

The snowbank was adhered on top, followed by the fox. I adhered a panel of Concord & 9th Aqua Sky Cardstock to a white A2 sized card base and then adhered the tree panel on top using thin foam tape. 

For my second card, I die cut the base layer of the trees, as well as the layer with the tree farm stand on, from Concord & 9th Wheat Cardstock. The top layer of trees were cut from Concord & 9th Sprout, Oceanside and Peacock Cardstock. I adhered the trees down first to an A2 sized white card base, followed by the tree farm stand on top. I cut the wreath from Concord & 9th Sprout Cardstock and the bow from Concord & 9th Dragonfruit Cardstock. The wreath was adhered to the stand. 

I took a panel of white cardstock and die cut it using the front oval panel die from the Concord & 9th Accordion Card Base Dies. I cut the string of lights from Concord & 9th White Cardstock and the lights themselves from Concord & 9th Aqua Sky Cardstock. They were adhered together and then adhered so that either side is adhered to the back of the oval panel. 

I added foam tape onto the back of the oval panel and then adhered it on to the card. I cut the car from the Concord & 9th Accordion Tree Farm Die Set from Concord & 9th Ballet Slipper, Buttercup, Black, White and Matte Silver Cardstock. The pieces were adhered together and then I added vellum on the back for the windows. I cut the tree for the top from Concord & 9th Sprout Cardstock and the stump and ties from Concord & 9th Wheat Cardstock. 

It was adhered on top of the car and then the car adhered to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Concord & 9th Accordion Tree Farm Stamp Set onto Concord & 9th Black Cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Concord & 9th Dew Drops.

I absolutely love the cut line detail on those tree dies! They make perfect Christmas trees but trees for all year round too, I think! Thank you so much for visiting me today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Spellbinders | Autumn Cheer

Hello there, today I have two cards to share using products from the Spellbinders Autumn Archives Collection by Kelly Bangs. This collection, as the name suggests, is all about autumn. I have two clean and simple cards to share using some of the products from the collection. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

For both cards, I used the Spellbinders Falling Leaves Etched Dies. You cut the base of the leaves and the veining separately, so you can cut the veins from a darker or lighter colour of cardstock, or something like gold would be nice too. For my cards, I went tone-on-tone! 

I started off my first card by die cutting the acorns from the Spellbinders Falling Leaves Etched Dies from Fawn ColorWheel Cardstock for the base layers and Spellbinders Truffle ColorWheel Cardstock for the top pieces. They were adhered together using Bearly Art Glue. 

I cut the leaves from Spellbinders Beeswax and Terra Cotta ColorWheel Cardstock and adhered the veins on top with Bearly Art Glue. I took a white US A2 sized white cardstock and arranged them on top. Once I was happy with the placement, I adhered the leaves down first with Bearly Art Glue, followed by the acorns with thin foam squares. 

I hot foiled the Spellbinders Autumn Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Opaque Black Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. They were then die cut out with the coordinating die. I cut the dies again from white cardstock and adhered the die cut behind the foiled sentiment. It was then adhered on top of the acorns and leaves. 

For the second card, I started off by die cutting the tag from the Spellbinders Documenting Labels Etched Dies from white cardstock with the hole reinforcer from Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock. I adhered the hole reinforcer on top and then threaded black twine through and tied in a bow. 

When die cutting the acorns and leaves from the Spellbinders Falling Leaves Etched Dies for the first card, I die cut extras to use on the second card. The leaves were adhered flat to the tag with Bearly Art Glue and the acorns with thin foam tape on top. The tag was then adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with more thin foam tape. 

I adhered the sentiment on top, from the Spellbinders Autumn Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set, that was foiled with the first card's sentiment. To finish both cards, I added black dots using Altenew Finer Line Pens.

Spellbinders | Boo Crew

Hello there, I'm delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing a card with a step by step photo tutorial using the Spellbinders Spooktacular Collection by Simon Hurley. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I thought it would be cute to have the ghost from Spellbinders Boo Crew wearing the witches hat from the Spellbinders Bewitched! I then added the glasses over the top because, well, I had too! So cute! I added ink blending to the card base and then simply added the ghost and sentiment on top.

Spellbinders | Spooky Hugs

Hello there, I hope you are well! Today I have a card to share using the Spellbinders September 2025 Small Die of the Month Club Kit called Harvest Magic. The set features a pumpkin, a cat, a ghost, a skull, flowers, and foliage. I did not use the ghost or skull but used everything else. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my card by creating the pumpkin/jack-o'-lantern. I started off by die cutting the face and body from the Spellbinders September 2025 Small Die of the Month Club Kit from Spellbinders Carrot ColorWheel Cardstock, as well as the layer that goes inside to make the carved parts look 3D. I added ink blending to these using Hero Arts Core Inks in Papaya and Tangerine. I cut the base layer from Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock. 

I cut the tongue from Spellbinders Tutu ColorWheel Cardstock and then adhered the pieces together leaving the front part without glue, so that I could pop the cat inside. The cheeks were cut from Spellbinders Blush ColorWheel Cardstock and adhered on top. The cat was cut from Tim Holtz Distress Black Heavystock. The eyes were cut from Spellbinders Beeswax ColorWheel Cardstock and the nose from Blush. The ears were cut from Tutu. 

She was assembled and adhered inside the pumpkin. I die cut the top of the pumpkin from Carrot and Rainforest ColorWheel Cardstock and adhered them on to her head. I added thin foam tape to the back of the cat and pumpkin and adhered them to an A2 sized white card base. I cut the foliage from Spellbinders Peridot and Rainforest ColorWheel Cardstock and adhered them around the pumpkin. 

The flowers were cut from Spellbinders Lavender and Lilac ColorWheel Cardstock and the centres from Beeswax. They were adhered to the card with Bearly Art Glue, as were the leaves. I hot foiled the sentiment plate from the Spellbinders Halloween Icons Press Plate & Die Set onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Opaque Black Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was die cut out using the die and adhered below the pumpkin. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Onyx Color Essentials Gems.

SPELLBINDERS CLUB KITS

To buy the kit - if you are a current subscriber to the Small Die of the Month Club Kit (or any kit), you do not need to do anything. You will be charged as normal on the 5th of the month and your kit will be shipped to you. If you are a new subscriber, you can purchase the kit from the 6th - 27th September 2025. Members can cancel their membership at any time. If you are not keen on subscribing to the kit but still want it, you can purchase it individually (without a subscription) on the 10th of the following month but the price will be higher. 

If Halloween isn't your thing, you could definitely use the cat and foliage from this kit on their own.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Simon Says Stamp + Altenew STAMPtember 2025 Collaboration

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Simon Says Stamp + Altenew STAMPtember 2025 collaboration set called Joyful Bouquet. As the name suggests, it features a beautiful bouquet plus lots of lovely sentiments. 

This set is exclusive to Simon Says Stamp and once it sells out it will not be restocked, so if you like it, grab it while you can! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my card by stamping the bouquet image from the Simon Says Stamp + Altenew STAMPtember 2025 stamp set onto white cardstock using Altenew Permanent Black Ink. I then coloured the image using alcohol markers, adding some shadows with colour pencils. 

The image was die cut out using the coordinating die. I stamped the sentiment using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink onto the same white cardstock and die cut that out as well. I cut the die another two times from white cardstock and adhered them behind the stamped one for dimension. 

I adhered a panel of Altenew Crafty Necessities Jet Black Cardstock onto a US A2 sized white card base and mixed a little Altenew Titanium White Gouache with water. I splattered it onto the card and set it aside to dry. Once dry, the image was adhered on top using foam tape, cutting the image overhanging the sides of the card base with scissors. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.

Simon Says Stamp + Hero Arts STAMPtember 2025 Collaboration

Hello there,  today I have a card to share using the Simon Says Stamp + Hero Arts STAMPtember 2025 collaboration set. It is called Snowy & Bright and features mountains, trees, a snowman, a little dog, two skaters and sentiments. I loved the design of the mountains, so used those as my focal point today. 

This set is exclusive to Simon Says Stamp and once it sells out that's it! So if you like it, grab it while you can! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by stamping the bottom of the mountains from the Simon Says Stamp + Hero Arts STAMPtember 2025 Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Hero Arts Orchid Core Ink. For the snow at the top, I wanted a light layer of ink, so I grabbed a Hero Arts Small Ink Blending Brush and just dabbed Hero Arts Passion Flower Core Ink at the top of the stamp before stamping them above the bottom part of the mountains. 

There are two mountains in the set, so I stamped one of them twice. I then stamped the dog from the set onto white cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. I added a teeny tiny bit of Copic Marker colouring using V15 & V12 for the scarf and C1 for the shading on the dog. I then cut the dog out using the coordinating dies. I cut the dog die another two times from white cardstock and adhered them behind the stamped one. 

Since the mountains are cut in two pieces with the dies, I decided to fussy cut these out using scissors instead. I took a US A2 sized white card base and stamped the sentiment on top using Hero Arts Intensified Black Ink. I also stamped the snow flurries from the set too. The mountains were adhered on top with thin foam tape, followed by the dog.

Spellbinders | All About Christmas

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing a step by step tutorial using new products from the All About Christmas Collection by Lisa Horton. This is such a wonderful collection as there are products for Christmas in it, but lots of staples too that can be used all year round. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I used the Spellbinders Christmas Sentiments Clear Stamp & Die Set as my main focal point and then built around it from there. I used the Spellbinders Christmas Foliage Etched Dies and then of course had to add one of the super cute birds from the Spellbinders Little Birdies Etched Dies wearing a hat, scarf and boots!

Spellbinders | Foliage 2 Ways + New Tools

Hello there, I hope you are well! Today I have two cards to share using the new Spellbinders Seasonal Wreath Etched Dies. I wanted to show that the set isn't just for Christmas and the holidays but can be used all year round too! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my Christmas card by die cutting the greenery die in the Spellbinders Seasonal Wreath Etched Dies set three times from Spellbinders Waterfall ColorWheel Cardstock. I adhered them to the front of an A2 sized white card base with Bearly Art Glue, popping the end of each one behind the end of the next one. 

I then cut the dies that look like mistletoe (to me!) from Spellbinders Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock. They were adhered on top of the greenery ones but you could definitely just use one or the other and not both! I die cut the berries from Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock and adhered them on top. 

I then die cut the bird from Spellbinders Little Birdies Etched Dies from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I used Lavender for the body of the bird, Lilac for the wing, Raven for the eye, Beeswax for the beak, and Poppy and Classic White for the hat. I adhered the pieces together and then onto the wreath, adding Spellbinders Micro Foam Squares behind his head. 

For the sentiment, I hot foiled the Spellbinders Merry Messages Plate onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and adhered overhanging the wreath. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Color Essentials Gems. 

For my next card, I used just the greenery dies from the Spellbinders Seasonal Wreath Etched Dies set. To me they looked like generic leaves so I thought they would work for all year round. I die cut the die three times from Spellbinders Rainforest ColorWheel Cardstock and three times from Spellbinders Peridot Cardstock. 

They were adhered to an A2 sized white card base with Bearly Art Glue. I then die cut the bird again, this time using Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock in Seaside for the body, Waterfall for the wing, Raven for the eye and Beeswax for the beak. I also cut flowers from the Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies set from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock in Blush, Carrot, Beeswax, Classic White and Hero Arts Ultra Pink Cardstock. 

The flowers were assembled and adhered using Bearly Art Glue and adhered to the wreath, the bird was then popped in between so it looked like it was sitting in amongst them. For the sentiment, I hot foiled the Spellbinders Birthday Wishes Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Foil. It was die cut out using the coordinating die.  I then adhered the 'happy birthday' one on to the card. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Color Essentials Gems.

NEW SPELLBINDERS TOOLS

Before I go, I just wanted to share some new tools from Spellbinders with you in case you haven't seen them. These are great for die cutting. There is the new  Lilac Shimmer Tool 'n One. This is the same as the other Tool 'n One's, so if you already have one you don't need another, but of course, I love the new Lilac Shimmer colour that matches my Platinum Scout! The Tool 'n One is great for removing the little bits inside the die cuts that you don't want - whether that be using the brush end or the pokey end. The pokey end is great for placing down gems too! 

There is also the new Handy Foam Mat. This fits inside the Large Craft Stax Trays. The idea is that you would place your die cuts on top and use the brush end of the Tool 'n One to pop out the inside pieces. This also works for the dies themselves too. You can do this on any surface but the foam mat gives a nice resistance to the tool. You can also just use the pokey end of the Tool 'n One and I found that works as well. The benefit of using the mat inside the tray is that all the little die cut pieces stay contained and not strewn across your desk! You can then use lift out the foam insert and slide the pieces into the bin. Is it necessary? No, but I have found it hand when doing a lot of die cutting!
