Vintage vinyl for Hero Arts

 Last year, Hero Arts ran a Handmade Holiday workshop, and the products included dies to create vinyl records and record players. This year, they have released some new stamps and dies with sentiments that fit the vintage vinyl theme perfectly!

Home for the Holidays from Hero Arts

 Today, I'm sharing two cards using the new Home for the Holidays release from Hero Arts. 

Thanks for visiting :) 

 

 

 

 

Spectacular Christmas - Spellbinders

Today, I'm sharing three cards I made using the Spectacular Santa, Spectacular Bear and Spectacular Deer die sets from Spellbinders. These were so much fun to put together! I cut all of the pieces from white cardstock, and then coloured the pieces with Copic markers. I used some older embossing folders for the backgrounds, and the Mistletoe Greetings Betterpress plate for the gold foiled sentiments.

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!)

Altenew July 2026 Release

Today is release day for Altenew - their July 2026 release is just amazing, with Christmas goodies, landscapes, florals, and so much more!  

For my first card, I used the Winterberry Poinsettias embossing folder and coordinating stencils, along with a glittery sentiment cut with the Holiday Essentials dies. 

My second card uses the Windows to Stillness Craft your Life Project Kit. I used the stamp set along with the embossing folder in the kit to create this serene card.  

FOr my third card today, I used the Where Nature Meets Home stencils. I added a sentiment from the One Go Solid Sentiment Strips.
