A Little Merri-Mint

 There's a very fun an unexpected Stitching Die of the Month over at Spellbinders! All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

The actual stitching portion of this die turns your card front into an "ugly sweater" with the cute teeth as the sweater image. I love the winter teeth so much I wanted them to be the star of the card!

The background is embossed on Poppy cardstock using the Plaid Company embossing folder. I blended the edge with Raspberry Jam ink to make the card have a vignette vibe.

I just so happened to have this Merri-Mint stamp set out from creating my Mean Girls cards... and the "a little merri-mint never hurt nobody" was the perfect match to the minty toothpaste!

Happy Mean Girls Day AND WCMD!

Happy Mean Girls Day! Why is today Mean Girls Day?...

It also happens to be World Card Making Day 2026! So I created two Mean Girls themed cards just for this fabulous occasion.

This showgirl stamp from Sparkling Holiday Stage works perfectly for what I imagined in my mind. I added the leather gloves and boots to match what the girls are wearing when they sing "Jingle Bell Rock" at the talent show in Mean Girls. The Stage Curtain die was the perfect touch for the talent show look in the school auditorium. 

Of course they are looking "so fetch", which I cut from Pomegranate Cardstock using Quinn's ABCs Lowercase dies.

You go, Glen Coco!! 

My second Mean Girls inspired card features one of the quotable scenes in the movie (who am I kidding, they're all quotable). This card uses the candy cane layering stencil paired with the die cut candy canes that I embossed from the "Merri-Mint" stamp and die set.

The quote was cut from Henry's ABCs dies.... "And none for Gretchen Wieners, bye!"

Tell Wicket he looks sexy with his hair pushed back 😁 We're in pink ready to watch our favorite movie!

Happy World Card Making Day and Mean Girls Day 2026!!

October My Monthly Hero - Autumn Harvest

 Happy October 1st! A new My Monthly Hero has arrived and this one celebrates all things autumn! I have six cards to share here on my blog today, so let's dive right in...

My first two cards feature the October My Monthly Hero Kit. One of the dies in that kit is this beautiful sunflower set used above. 

Everything you see below is what you receive in this month's My Monthly Hero...

I paired my sunflowers with the lovely Bee-Cause embossing folder and the always classic Arches Infinity Dies.

My next card using the My Monthly Hero base kit showcases the seed packet dies...

The stamp set included works well with the seed packet dies included. I also tucked in some of my extra sunflowers. The background uses the Plaid Company embossing folder (I'm clearly in my embossing folder era!).

My third and fourth cards feature the corn layering stencil and dies. While the corn dies are included in the base kit, the beautiful layering stencils are a great addition to the My Monthly Super Hero Kit!

I have two similar cards because, unfortunately, the woven embossing folder (below) isn't available anymore (but I think this one would be a great substitute!) so I created a second similar one with a background that is available!

So my second card uses the Sweater Weather embossing folder! When inking up the layers of the stencil, I masked off the husk leaves with each layer. Once the corn kernels were all inked, I lined up the stencil again to ink up the husk in yellows and greens.

My hope was to make my corn look like the maize with various colors, included a deep purplish tone.

How darling is this wooden wheelbarrow?! The die set also includes all the lovely pumpkin and leaf dies. It was really fun to put together, and I think adding some sunflowers would be a nice touch!

I wanted it to be nestled in a wheat field or something similar, so this grass die (layered twice) from Butterfly Foliage Fancy Dies was a perfect fit.

You made it to the last card! I had die cut so many pumpkins and leaves for my wheelbarrow card that I had several leftover. This card came about with whatever was left sitting on my desk... and I think it may just be my favorite one!?
