Spellbinders Bundle of Joy Card…

March 17, 2025 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Welcome Baby! Such a super cute set from Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection for March. I don’t need baby cards very often but this set will be perfect when I do. So adorable!

I finally caved and bought a Betterpress set! I’ve been faking it with the how to’s from you tube but I have to say this is SO MUCH EASIER! lol I’m glad I bought it!

I used the new Little Sentiments Betterpress set. It’s great… you do a bunch of sentiments at once, die cut them all at once too! Not my normal way of doing things because I’m not one to have the bowl of unused stuff on my table to work from. I like all these though! lol

The purple of my card is brighter than it’s showing up in my photos. I don’t know how to fix that. I used my camera instead of my phone this time.

So basic die cutting here, easy compared to taking and editing pictures! hohoho I love the stork’s usps old fashioned hat! I don’t know if they wear these anymore. Last week I saw the carrier and he had green hair soooo I guess they’re leprechauns now! haha

It’s an A2 size card. I used the Essential Arches Die set for the panel. The cloud border and stars are in the Bundle of Joy set. Super fun! There’s another cute set from this Little Smiles collection I’ll be showing you soon. There’s an embossing folder and Betterpress plate also! I’ll link the whole collection below.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy cardmaking week to you!

Hi everyone! Branching away from Christmas today! Birthdays keep coming and January is a busy month for our family when it comes to birthdays! YAY! As long as it’s not mine! haha!

This is a 5 x 6 size card so I’ll be using an A7 envelope for it. I tried some stitching for fun….just die cutting and a little stamping.

I used the betterpress dies to stamp the sentiment and th! I liked the distress look I got doing that! I taped the dies into the MISTI and inked them up. lol

I inked the edges of almost everything with Distress Gathered Twigs Ink and a mini ink blending tool.

The pattern paper is from the Doodlebug Design Sweetheart 6×6 paper pad.

Next card….

I hot foiled with the Better Press dies….I used the negative/leftover piece of foil from another project because I thought the polka dots would be fun. But…whoa…what a challenge to get a picture!

It’s Silver foiling for the numbers and the sentiment.

I think I better order a Better Press kit for these solid dies. I’ve been able to do it with the detail betterpress dies and my die cutting machine, following a video a gal put up on you tube but these solid ones I struggled with.

Still fun and a CAS card…much better IRL!

I absolutely love these numbers and the options for making fun celebratory cards! I’ll link the sentiment set I wasn’t able to use yet below also…it’s cool too! So many good products and ideas out there to help us make awesome cards!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my latest attempts at being creative! Talk to you again soon! I have a couple cards to post that I mailed, I don’t want to post them until they receive them though. I mailed them Tuesday. ttul!
