You The Real MVP

 Welcome Back! The brand new March Spellbinders Club Kits have dropped! These kits will be perfect for Father's Day, Mother's Day, or to send a Just Because card.


How cute is this hat!? I have visions of it being fully bedazzled, circa early 2000s. In that age's true fashion, I decided to recreate an Arizona Diamondbacks hat with the colors that they USED to have before switching to black and red (terrible decision).


This is the March Stitching Die of the Month, but I actually really like the look without stitching thread. I'm fully satisfied with the color showing through the holes! Love that look. I used cardstocks in Violet, Teal Topaz, and Raven. I also embossed the background with an older SB folder called Sun Rays.

My Monthly Hero - Holy Cow!

 The My Monthly Hero kit continues to BE AMAZING and the March kit is no different! I have three cards to share today with this udderly legen-dairy kit...


This first card uses the My Monthly Super Hero kit, which includes those darling milk and cookie dies. I also used the little cow stamp in the set to create my own background for the card by simply stamping him multiple times in Granite ink.



My next card focuses on just the main My Monthly Hero kit...



I really really love that cow print stencil. I also had fun putting together my little milk carton. There are so many different ways to make it "your own". I personally grew up with Lucerne milk cartons in my fridge, so that blue and white color is what I had to replicate. For this card, I used Cornflower ink as the blue shade inspiration (which has quickly become a favorite).


The milk carton die has options to make either an open carton, a closed carton, or a carton with a little twist cap. I just love that they thought of everything!

And now for a little (citrus) twist.....


When I realized that one of the dies was a little twist cap, I instantly thought of orange juice. Again, growing up, our orange juice was typically a classic Tropicana carton with a good ol' twist top. I instantly knew I had to make it happen!


I combined the new My Monthly Hero kit with one of my favorite releases from last year, the "I Pick You" collection. I used the apple die from Apple Frame Etched Dies to turn them into oranges. I also used the lovely apple tree stamp from In the Orchard to turn that into an orange tree for the background. I grew up with orange trees in my yard, so we either had fresh squeezed OJ available during peak season, or Tropicana in the winter. But there was always OJ! Finally, the sentiment is stamped from the Apple Branch set.

Be sure to check out this kit because they have been selling out quickly!

Beautiful Moments Release

 The Beautiful Moments release is live at Simon Says Stamp! I have a card to share using the super cute Hoppy Spring stamp set.


The little sheep and bunnies in the Hoppy Spring set are top-tier adorable! To put this card together, I first die cut the Eyelet Oval and then stamped the fence/grass stamp. I colored the background and two sheep with my Copic markers.


The sheep were fussy cut and added to the scene with foam dots. I also added some very very light clouds with the Hero Arts Cloud Pattern stencil. Finally, it's all matted on the lilac cardstock cut from the scalloped rectangle die.
