Spellbinders Monthly Club Kits

March 10, 2026

Good morning everyone. Don’t forget to grab your Spellbinders Monthly Club Kits before registrations for this month ends on March 27, 2026. Today I’ll share with you two of the kits I made cards with. Here is a recap of the cards I made for this month.

The first card is made using this months Stitching Die club. This month’s die is perfect for the baseball hat loving fans. I love my a great hat on days when I want to feel sassy or to be honest, it’s just a bad hair day. LOL

The cardstock used for my hat is Cosmic Sky, Pomegranate and White. For the floss, I used DMC 347. Now the inspiration that I have seen from designers is AMAZING so make sure to check out the other designers blogs or social media.

Let’s move on to the Spellbinders Stencil Of The Month. Get ready to jazz up your cards with this stencil set that gives you a gorgeous sunray on your cards. With the addition of the last stencil to create these cool dots on the panel just levels up this card.

My ink colors are Dandelion, Pink Grapefruit, Arctic and Black all from Hero Arts. For the white dots, I used Hero Arts White Paste. The sentiment is from the Spellbinders Birthday Laughs Sentiment stamp set. One of my new favs.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I’ve inspired you to join this two clubs. Remember the clubs open to non-members on the 6th of each month and closes on the 27th. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

March 6, 2026

Hey everyone. Today is Spellbinders Monthly Club Kits – March 2026 release. And I’m so stoked to share my card with you today. I am a HUGE fan of stitching dies. Over the years it has become my go to project when I can’t be in my craft room. And if you have been following me for some time, you will always see stencils of some sort on my cards.

This month Spellbinders Monthly Stitching die is for all the fans of a good cap! I myself have a good amount of them for my lazy hair days. The cap is so easy to stitch and comes together quickly. The sunrays that you see behind the cap is also from a release this month at Spellbinders.

Poshta Design: Sunflower Die

August 22, 2025

Morning everyone. I’m back with a card using the new Poshta Design Sunflower Die. Ooohhh this die is one of my favorites. Beautiful, smiling sunflowers are a dependable source of joy in the early Autumn. The Sunflower Season Die features a large layered bloom and trio of leaves. Add the sunflower to wreaths, garlands, and other decor items to bring a cheerful touch of the outdoors into your home.This die comes with a Stitching Guide to show you how this design comes together. Measurement reference:

The sunflower bloom measures 3” in diameter. The fully assembled sunflower with leaves measures 3 ⅝” wide by 3” tall.

Retails for $30 (4 pieces)

Heritage Harvest Color Story (retails for $55)

This classic sunflower is absolutely beautiful and easy to stitch. It’s perfect for all your fall cards and decor. I used the felt, thread, sequins and beads from the Heritage Harvest Colory Story for my sunflower.

Stitching this flower was simple and straight forward. You will notice I do have two shades of yellow. One shade is from the felt color story and the other was a roll I previously had on hand. By combining these two shades it really makes my flower come to life.

As I am a cardmaking, this sunflower fit perfectly on a A2 (4 1/4 by 5 1/2) card. To keep the fall looking going, I paired the sunflower with gingham pattern paper and a simple sentiment.

The August 2025 Poshta Design release will be available tomorrow August 23 NOON EST. You will love stitching your way into fall and halloween with these easy stitching projects. Remember they all come with a stitching guide to help you along the way.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the Poshta Design Sunflower die. Make sure to add it to your cart before they are all gone. Happy stitching everyone. See you back here soon.

Poshta Design Cobweb Coverall Die

August 21, 2025

Welcome back to the blog for the Poshta Design Cobweb Coverall Die. The Cobweb Coverall Die cuts a spider web background sized for an A2 card front (the die doesn’t have an outer cutting edge though, so you have some flexibility if you would like to try other card sizes or techniques). This classic Halloween pattern adds texture and interest to your cards, making even the simplest creation feel spook-tacular!

The Cobweb Coverall Die includes a Stitching Guide for handy reference. Measurement reference:

The patterned area measures 4” wide by 5 ¼” tall.

Retails for $24 (1 piece)

Costume Party Color Story (retails for $55)

I know there are a lot of people who truly enjoy Halloween. For me it’s just okay. LOL What I love most about the day is giving out candy to the sweet kids and checking out their costumes. Let’s just say I prefer a fun halloween over a spooky one. So this Cobweb Coverall die was perfect for a not so scary halloween card.

I started off by diecutting the cobweb using the Costume Party Color Story. This pack has five great felt rolls along with matching DMC floss and a container full of sparkle with beads and sequin. So much fun to add the beads and sequin to your projects.

By stitching the cobweb in black I was able to achieve a very high contrast card. And by adding in just a few of the beads and sequins the cards is more glam than scary. Once my stitching was done, I trimmed it out in a fun shape and placed it onto a black card base.

The sentiment for the card was computer generated and die cut out with a circle die. I truly enjoyed playing with the Poshta Design Cobwebb Coverall die. There are a few more dies being released today as well.

Okay we have one more day for sneak peeks before release on Saturday, August 23 at NOON EST. See you back here tomorrow.

Poshta Design: Let’s Play: Cheer

August 20, 2025

Hello everyone. I’m here with the new Poshta Design Let’s Play Cheer die. The release of the Let’s Play dies are so much fun. For my card, I used the Cheer die and man this was such a joy to stitch.

Cheer on your favorite cheerleader with the Let’s Play: Cheer Die! Create home decor, holiday ornaments, and more. You can even personalize your projects with our Monogram Alphabet and Monogram Numerals dies for creations that are truly unique and special. Pair this die with the rest of the Let’s Play Collection for multi-sport projects with pizzazz! Included with this die is a Stitching Guide for handy reference. Measurement reference:

The fully assembled megaphone measures 3 ½” wide by 2” tall.

Retails for $17 (3 pieces)

This set has three dies in total. One for the cheer layer and two for the megaphone. It’s very easy to line things up to create this fun megaphone. And what better way to give a card than to add some felt stitching to it.

I am a HUGE NY Giants fan and I’m always cheering them on for each game (even when they lose). And with football season starting in just a few weeks, I thought I could send this card to my friend Pam who is also a NY Giants fan.

The felt colors I used for this card were Tundra and Cardinal. For the stitching I used DMC floss 796 and 3865. You can totally customize a card with your favorite football time as well. Did I mention, there is a football die in this release as well. Sooo good!

I hope you will grab the Poshta Design Let’s Play Cheer die to have in your stitching die collection. Also if you want to see more stitching on the blog you can click here. Make sure to stop back by tomorrow as I’ll have more stitching to share with you. Make sure to swing by the Poshta Design blog as well for more information on the release. See you back here tomorrow.
