Spellbinders | Stitched Bright

Hello there, today I have a Christmas card to share using the Spellbinders Stitched Starfilled Background from the Stitched Bright Collection, which released back in August. I really like Spellbinders stitching dies, they add something extra to a special card. 

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



I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Stitched Starfilled Background Etched Dies from Spellbinders Purple Mist Cardstock twice. I adhered the two pieces together (for extra stability whilst stitching) and then got to work stitching! I love that Spellbinders stitching dies give indentations in the cardstock of where to stitch, I find it really helpful to just follow the lines! 


I used a blunt ended needle and DMC White Diamant Metallic Thread. The thread was secured at the back with Spellbinders Best Ever Craft Tape and then the panel was adhered to a US A2 sized card base made from more Purple Mist Cardstock. 


I die cut the Spellbinders Bird and Poinsettia Etched Dies from various shades of Spellbinders Cardstock - Snowdrift, Bearly Peach, Graphite and Royal Amethyst for the bird and hat, Lilac Blossom for the poinsettia, and snowdrift and vellum for the foliage. I adhered the foliage to the card first, followed by the poinsettia. 


I hot foiled the sentiment from the Spellbinders Sealed Poinsettia Stems Press Plate & Die Set onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using thin foam tape, followed by the bird. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems

This design would work well in so many different colour combinations. I think I will try and do a traditional red colour one too! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Primrose Garden Birthday Wishes

Hello there, today I have a card to share with you that I made my mum for her birthday. She really loves flowers, so I thought that I would use the Concord & 9th Primrose Garden Die Set for her card. 

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


I started off by die cutting the base layer from the Concord & 9th Primrose Garden Die Set twice from Concord & 9th Black Cardstock. I made a score line at the top of one piece and adhered it to the back of the other piece at the top to create a hinge. This created my card base. 

I die cut the flowers in the set from Concord & 9th Lilac, Grape Soda and Ballet Slipper Cardstock. I cut the berries and flower centres from white cardstock and the foliage from Concord & 9th Sprout and Parsley Cardstock. I added ink blending to the pieces using Concord & 9th Grape Soda Ink for the dark purple flowers and Altenew Hydrangea Fresh Dye Ink for the light purple flowers. 

I used Concord & 9th Carnation Ink for the pink flowers and Concord & 9th Sprout, Parsley and Evergreen inks for the foliage/leaves. I adhered the layers to the base using a combination of Bearly Art Glue and thin foam tape. 

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Spellbinders Curved Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set onto Concord & 9th Grape Soda Cardstock with Spellbinders Silver Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Color Essentials Gems

I am happy to report that my mum really liked the card! The base probably should be cut from green cardstock for the illusion of more foliage but I went with black for something different! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a great day!

Hero Arts | Hero Studio November 2024 Countdown to Creativity

Hello there and welcome as we countdown to the release of the Hero Arts November 2024 Hero Studio collection! This month is all about cute Christmas critters and holiday patterns! 

Please note, the Hero Arts website is currently down for maintenance until 4th November, when the November Hero Studio collection releases. 

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


For my card today, I am using the Hero Arts November 2024 Fancy Dies of the Month called Tilted Christmas Tree. I started off by die cutting the frame die from Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock three times. I then adhered them together one on top of another form added dimension. 

For the background, I die cut the Hero Arts Sentiment Strips Fancy Die from Hero Arts Peony, Ultra Pink, Coral, Cherry, Cranberry, Mist, Paradise and Bermuda Cardstock. They were then adhered at an angle to a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of white cardstock using Hero Arts Precision Glue. I cut off any excess from the sides with scissors, before adhering it to a US A2 sized white card base. 

The frame was adhered on top using more liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Winter Foliage Pattern Stamp Set (which is an Extraordinary Extras set this month) onto white cardstock using Hero Arts Intensified Black Ink. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots

Sunny Studio | More Roly Poly Penguins!

Hello there and happy November to you! For my last two projects guest designing for Sunny Studio Stamps, I have used the Roly Poly Penguins set again. They are just too cute not to use! Today I have a tag and card to share.

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


I thought the penguin poking up from behind something from the Sunny Studio Stamps Roly Poly Penguins Stamp Set would look cute at the bottom of a tag, so I stamped him onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then coloured him using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area for reference). 

He was die cut out using the Sunny Studio Stamps Roly Poly Penguins Dies. For the tag, I die cut the Sunny Studio Stamps Build A Tag #1 Dies from white cardstock. I added ink blending to the base layer with Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks. I also added this ink blending to the eyelet piece. I then splatted on Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Paint to the base layer for snow and set it aside to dry. 

Once dry, I adhered the top layer of the tag to the base, followed by the eyelet. I stamped the sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut into strips and adhered to the tag with thin foam tape, followed by the penguin. To finish, I added twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow. 

I couldn't resist making one more project using the penguins so stamped another from the Sunny Studio Stamps Roly Poly Penguins Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I coloured him using Copic Markers and then die cut him out using the Sunny Studio Stamps Roly Poly Penguins Dies.

For the card base, I ran a panel of Hero Arts Cherry Cardstock through my die cutting machine with the Sunny Studio Stamps Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. I placed the Sunny Studio Stamps Diagonal Stripes Stencil on top and added ink blending with Hero Arts Cranberry Core Ink. I love how this gives a tone-on-tone effect but I am excited to try this with other colour combos in the future! 

The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized card base made from the same Cherry Cardstock and the penguin adhered on top with thin foam tape. The sentiment, from the Sunny Studio Stamps Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp Set, was stamped onto black cardstock and heat embossed in white. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with more thin foam tape. To finish, I added white gel pen highlights to the penguin and black glaze pen to his eyes.

Sunny Studio | Eat, Drink & Be Merry Gift Card Holder

Hello there, today I have a gift card holder to share with you using some more new products from Sunny Studio Stamps. I thought the Merry Mocha set would work perfectly to decorate a gift card holder for a coffee shop gift card. Sunny Studio do sell gift card dies, but I wanted to see if I could create something using products I already had. 

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



I started off by die cutting the largest of the Sunny Studio Stamps Stitched Scalloped Tag Circle Dies three times from white cardstock. Two I adhered back to back and the third I cut in half. I stamped a sentiment on the one I cut in half from the Sunny Studio Stamps Inside Greetings Stamp Set and adhered it to the back of the other one, only adhering it around the edge to create a pocket for the gift card to sit in. 


I stamped the mug and sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Merry Mocha Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I coloured the mug using Copic Markers and then die cut them both out using the Sunny Studio Stamps Merry Mocha Dies. I cut the sentiment die again three times and layered them up behind the stamped one for added dimension. 


The sentiment was adhered to the tag using liquid glue and the mug with thin foam tape. I tied twine around the top of the tag and tied in a bow. To finish, I added Christmas Red Stickles to the berries on the mug and then embellished with silver gems

Sunny Studio | Roly Poly Penguins

Hello there, I am delighted to be guest designing with Sunny Studio Stamps this week! I have a few projects to share with you over the next few days using the holiday 2024 release. My card today uses the Roly Poly Penguins, which absolutely fell in love with! They are so cute!

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


I started off by stamping one of the penguins, plus the candy cane, from the Sunny Studio Stamps Roly Poly Penguins Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped the two trees (I stamped one of them twice) from the Sunny Studio Stamps Snowmen in Sweaters Stamp Set too. The images were coloured using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area for reference). 


They were then die cut out using the coordinating dies sets. I die cut a heart from white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp Set on top right with Versamark Ink. The sentiment is part of a larger one, so I did have to do some masking. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. 

I then made a snow scape mask. I simply cut a hill shape from a piece of printer paper using scissors. I placed it over the bottom of the heart piece and added ink blending above with Distress Inks and blending brushes. I used Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves


I then moved the mask down, so that I could create snowbanks using the residual ink from the Seedless Preserves brush, to cover the bottom of the heart. I placed the mask back over the bottom of the heart and splattered on Dr Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White Paint above, before setting it aside to dry. 


I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the Sunny Studio Stamps Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die and adhered it to the front of a US A2 sized card base with tape runner adhesive. The heart was then adhered on top with thin foam tape, followed by the trees and penguin (holding the candy cane). To finish, I added a few white gel pen highlights to the penguin.

Spellbinders | Stitched Petal Bloom

Hello there, I hope you are well. Today I have a tag to share using the Stitched Petal Bloom dies from Spellbinders. This set creates a huge flower with lots of petals. I didn't realise initially that it is aimed for scrapbooking (hence the size of it!) but you can just use the inside pieces of the flower and leaves too, which makes for a smaller project more suited to cards and tags. 

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


I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Stitched Petal Bloom Etched Dies from cardstock. I cut the larger piece (that will be my sunflower petals) from Spellbinders Beeswax Cardstock, the flower centre from Spellbinders Latte Cardstock and the leaves from Spellbinders Peridot Cardstock. I also cut the back solid pieces from the same colour of cardstock. 


I added ink blending to the stitched pieces with Altenew Fresh Dye Inks, focussing the colour around the edges of the die cuts. For extra stability whilst stitching, I cut the flower and centre again from the same cardstock and adhered them together (so that they are two layers thick). This helps to prevent bending of the cardstock when sewing. I then grabbed my blunt ended needle and DMC Floss and started stitching. 


I used Variegated Yellow for the sunflower, Light Mocha Brown for the centre and Light Chartreuse for the leaves. I adhered the floss to the back of the die cuts when stitched with thin Best Ever Craft Tape. They were then adhered to the back layers with Bearly Art Glue. I cut a piece of cardstock to 2.5" x 3.5" and then cut the top using the Spellbinders 3-in-1 Tag Punch. The leaves were adhered to the tag with Bearly Art Glue and the flower with foam tape. 


For the sentiment, I hot foiled the Spellbinders Making Me Smile Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set using Champagne Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. The sentiments were cut out using the coordinating die (they are all on one plate) and then I cut another two layers of the 'many thanks' sentiment and adhered them behind the foiled one before adhering to the tag.  To finish, I threaded black twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow.

I am hoping that I may get a chance to make the full flower and frame it to use it as a home decor piece. It does look really pretty in the previews on the Spellbinders site! I love that you can use different elements from the set though to suit your needs. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!

VIDEO | Hot Foiling Tips

Hello there, today I have a card to share using hot foiling. I know hot foiling isn't for everyone but I do have some tips to share if you are struggling to get a good impression (I share them in the video). The card itself uses a non-traditional holiday colour scheme ... I always love purple! 

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


I started off by taking a panel of Hero Arts Amethyst Cardstock and placed a piece of Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Hot Foil on top of that, shiny side up. I then placed the wreath from the Hero Arts Wreath & Finch Letterpress + Foil Plate on top, facing down. I held everything in place with Best Ever Craft Tape. I placed it on my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to heat up (plate side down) and once ready, ran it through my Platinum Six

I did get a little over-foiling, so I removed that with a craft knife. I then foiled the finch in the same way. I die cut the wreath panel using the largest die in the Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies set and then added ink blending around the edges with Hero Arts Core Inks and Blending Brushes. 

I used Amethyst to start with, followed by Grape Juice and then Pitch Black. It was adhered to a US A2 sized card base made from more Amethyst Cardstock. I fussy cut the finch out with scissors and adhered a bow made from black twine behind him. They were adhered to the card using foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Cozy Study Stamp & Die Bundle onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut out using the coordinating die and adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Hero Arts Black Enamel Dots

Spellbinders | Cozy Toes Slippers

Hello there, I hope you are well. Today I have a card to share using the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club Kit for October 2024 called Cozy Toes Slippers. This is such a fun set as you can make different slippers - reindeer, penguin, Santa and a bunny! 

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



I started off my card by making the slippers from the Spellbinders October 2024 Large Die of the Month Club Kit. I cut the base later from Spellbinders Snowdrift Cardstock and the sole part from Spellbinders Onyx Cardstock. They were then adhered together using Bearly Art Glue. The reindeer faces were cut from Spellbinders Dune Cardstock and the inside ear pieces from Spellbinders Pink Sand Cardstock


The antlers were cut from Spellbinders Latte Cardstock and the noses from Simon Says Stamp Crimson Glitter Cardstock (the highlight piece cut from Snowdrift Cardstock). The pieces were adhered together using Bearly Art Glue and then adhered to the base of the slippers with thin foam squares. The ankles were then cut from Spellbinders Bearly Peach Cardstock


For the top part of the slippers (or socks), you want to pop the ankle behind it first and adhere them in place, then add the back part of the sock/slipper behind, so to sandwich the ankles inside the slippers/socks. I then cut the legs/pyjamas from a sheet of paper from the Sunny Studio Holiday Cheer Paper Pack. They were adhered to white cardstock pieces (for added stability) before adhering to the tops of the ankles. 


The legs and slippers were then adhered onto a US A2 sized white card base with Bearly Art Glue. The sentiment, from the Spellbinders Mistletoe Greetings Press Plate & Die Set, was hot foiled onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Champagne Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was cut out using the coordinating die and adhered to the card.

You can use the reindeer, penguin, Santa and bunny on their own without making them into slippers too. I am hoping to try and do that soon as I think they are so cute! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Spellbinders | Mantel Decorations

Hello there, today I have two cards to share with you using the Spellbinders Timeless Trees Collection by Simon Hurley, which is out now. I decorate the mantelpieces in my house for Christmas every year with white houses, green trees and white reindeer, so I was immediately drawn to the mantel sets in the collection. 

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



My first card uses just the Spellbinders Mantel Village Etched Dies. I cut the mantelpiece/mantel (or could be a normal shelf) from Spellbinders Dune Cardstock. I then added ink blending on top with Altenew Coffee Break Fresh Dye Inks and a blending brush. 


I really love how this brings out the woodgrain texture from the die! I then cut the tree stands from the same Dune Cardstock and used the residual ink from the brush on those. I die cut the trees from Spellbinders Rainforest Cardstock and added ink blending on top with Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks.


I then cut the houses from white cardstock and cut pieces of Tonic Pearled Gold Vellum (has a lovely pearlescence to it in real-life) and adhered them behind to look there are lights inside glowing. I adhered the mantelpiece onto a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape and then added the trees and houses with Bearly Art Glue


The sentiment, from Spellbinders Glitter Wishes Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, was hot foiled onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Champagne Foil and the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was cut into a strip using the coordinating die and adhered to the card with thin foam tape. 


My second card uses the Spellbinders Mantel Village Etched Dies, as well as the Spellbinders Mantel Decorations Etched Dies. I cut the mantelpiece/mantel and trees the same as the first card and added ink blending on top. I then cut the garland pieces from Spellbinders Fern Cardstock and added ink blending to those too. 


The holly was cut from Spellbinders Rainforest Cardstock and the berries from Spellbinders Poppy Field Cardstock. The deer were cut from white cardstock. I adhered the mantelpiece/mantel to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape, followed by the garland, holly, berries, trees and reindeer - all using Bearly Art Glue. 


The sentiment from the Spellbinders Glitter Wishes Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set was foiled the same as the first card, cut into a strip and adhered below the mantle with thin foam tape. To finish, I added Christmas Red Stickles to the berries.

The reindeer would look great in traditional reindeer colours but my reindeer ornaments/decorations are white in colour (although I do have some black ones too), so that is what I went with today! 

I have to apologise for the not so great photos. We are getting into bad lighting season here in the UK and its a struggle to take decent photos when you rely on natural sunlight that doesn't seem to want to make an appearance at the moment! 

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