Thoughtful card with a Spellbinders new release

 Hi friends! Today I am bringing you a "You're in my thoughts" card using another set from Spellbinders January 2026 release. I make so many birthday and holiday cards throughout the year but I never seem to have enough for sympathy, get well, encouragement, etc. This year I will be trying to increase how many I have on hand. 


 This one was done using water for the background as well as for the flower. I used regular cardstock and scraps of it for the flower. I like the result when the water reacts to the wet paper. I think it helps give the flowers a more organic look. It is a 3D flower so mailing is different -- I either don't mail these or I use a small box to protect the flowers. The recipients are always in love with what they get and that makes the extra effort always worth it. 

 

Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.

First Birthday card using Spellbinders January release

 Hi there friends,

Today I am sharing a card suitable for a first birthday! I am using Spellbinders January release with other Spellbinders sets. 


 I made the card base with a shaped die set. The elements were all cut in white cardstock and colored with alcohol markers. I used a variety of colors to make it suitable for any gender. The high chair reminded me of baby pictures of them sitting in the high chair with their first cake. I just couldn't resist.
