Altenew July release blog hop and Giveaway!

 

Today, I'm taking part in a blog hop to celebrate the July release from Altenew. This release includes some really gorgeous Christmas products, and I was so happy to see multiple poinsettia products! You can find the release HERE!

I created this card using the Lush Botanicals - Poinsettia products, which include layering dies and a coordinating embossing folder to create some amazing texture. I thought it would be fun to add some glittery leaves behind the red poinsettia. I also used the new Holiday Essentials sentiment dies, and the Paper Echoes stencil. 

And I made a video!

Spellbinders - Paul Antonio Upright Italic Holiday Sentiments

 Today, I'm sharing two cards I made using the new Paul Antonio Upright Italic Holiday Sentiments. These are Betterpress plates, but I used them with my Glimmer machine, and then used a solid plate to use the leftover foil to create these negative sentiments. I cut around them by hand before adding them over foiled and stenciled backgrounds.

Dear Santa Holiday Kit from Spellbinders

Today, I'm sharing 11 cards I made using the Dear Santa 2026 Annual Holiday Mega kit! This kit is so much fun! I made 11 cards, but I have SO MUCH of the kit left over, I will be making so many more! 

 

 And this card has something else a bit special, because I used one of Spellbinders' new card spinners! (you can see the results on my Instagram!)
