It’s another fun new release from Spellbinders and Becca Feeken. This release has a great set of 5 die foundation shapes from circular to slimline dies. These fabulous dies work well with ALL the spellbinders dies and the Sealed by Spellbinders Collection. I have 3 cards to share using 2 die sets: Postage Edge Slimline dies by Becca Feeken and Postage Edge Circles.
First up is the circle postage edge does. I paired it with the Holiday Blooms Etched Dies in a not so holiday look. I love to make holidays dies and glimmer plates go all year round.
I have had these new MFT Coffee Shop stamps and dies sitting here in my stamp room for a little bit. I knew I wanted them the minute I saw them.
And….It’s been a while since I played in the Coffee Lovers blog hop. (Squeaking in at the end!). This was a perfect opportunity to play and share with you. (supplies are listed at the end of the post)
These dies and stamps are so stinking cute. They are fussy and have lots and lots of tiny pieces but holy cow check out the end results:
Take a closer look at the die cutting details.
This pink one is my favorite so far. It’s so fun to decorate your own coffee shop. those chairs are from Bistro Basics Die-namics. Take a closer look.
I had to add a cute critter at the coffee shop!
I purchased these all direct from My Favorite Things. Every thing is in stock at the moment except the paper. Be sure to get on the “notify me” list asap. things come back pretty quickly.
Stay tuned for Part 2 – once you start making all these fun little die cuts you want to make more. So many fun coffee themed cards.
Now for the 2022 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! this hop runs through Friday, November 18, 2022. Details here
A red glittery stocking is a great way to celebrate this upcoming holiday. It’s clean and simple and fun to make. The supplies on this card are Stamp Simply and links are below
Today I am sharing 3 cards from the November 2022 “Stylized Floral Kaleidoscope Slimline”Large Die of the Month. This makes some seriously beautiful cards.
First up is an elegant black, white and gray card paired with the “Fan Motif”Embossing folder Club of the month.
I paired with with a black envelope. Check it out on my reel here:

My New Sealed by Spellbinders Wax Seal Starter Kit has arrived! This kit is super cool and so much fun! I have 4 cards to share today.
Here is my Instagram reel to give you a quick unboxing and show you how it works. There are full instructions in the kit. All you need is a tea light and a lighter.
After making 3 attempts to wax seal the cute stems, here is what I learned
— Don’t over heat your wax. If its bubbling it’s too hot.
— Use 3-4 wax beads. I used 5 on my 1st attempt and it was too much wax. Use 4 one the 1st heat and then 3 after was perfect as there was still some wax left in the spoon.
— Practice on a piece of scratch cardstock. The 1st wax I poured was too hot (and too much wax) and warped the cardstock.
— Leave the wax seal stamp on the hot wax and wait for it to cool a bit. This drastically reduced the cardstock warping.
— It’s very cool to wax seal right on the paper but if you mess up you have to completely start over. pretty time consuming ( I die cut all new pieces) after making the above card 3 times
— If you are looking for card embellishments, it’s perfectly fine to make a bunch of wax seals on the rubber mat and then glue them to your card. This is my personal preference.
When using the wax seals I prefer to keep the card very clean and simple. I want the wax to be the star of the card.
This seal was made on the rubber mat and glued to the card and you can’t tell the difference! Oh and I love that it is a note card for any occasion. Mandala Wax Seal Stamp for the win!
Also wax seals and 3-d embossing folders pair very well together. I recommend adding the metallic markers to you order to add some highlights to the wax. I did not and wish I had them. FYI: Copics do not color on wax.
Here is my fourth and final card for today. I love them all but this one is my favorite!
Rich shade of purples make this card. The image is stamped in people ink and colored slightly with copics. I dragged a white ink pad over the embossing folder to create the background. So easy and it was a fun surprise to see how well the image went with the Essential Diamonds Etched Dies.
There’s a new product line from Spellbinders – Wax Seals (Sealed by Spellbinders ). Today I’m sharing a few “faux wax seal” cards made with stamps and dies while I wait for my Sealed kit to arrive.
And for this card I used the glimmer plate to emboss. Its really easy!
The Universal Plate System makes embossing with dies and glimmer plates EASY! The instructions are on the platform (embossing with a cut shape). I used the adapter plate, Embossing mat, Glimmer plate cardstock and the platform base and top.
Be sure to check out all of the other products in this release – wax seals, wax beads, more glimmer plates, stencils & dies.
