Crafty Calendar February Challenge - Spellbinders Steamboat Willie Valentine's Card

Good morning, I hope you are keeping safe and well.  I'm wondering if it is ever going to stop raining as it seems to have been going non stop for days.   Next weekend the plan is to go away for a couple of days so I'm hoping for better weather, at least less rain....

It is the first Saturday in February so over at Crafty Calendar we have a new monthly challenge starting today.

The theme for this month is "Love is in the Air" so I have a Valentine's card to share.

 For this card I have used:

Steamboat Willie die set from the Say Cheese Classic Mouse Collection by Spellbinders.

The card shape was cut using the postage edge polaroid style frame die from the Spellbinders January 2026 Large Die of the Month set Hummingbirds Delight.

The background was created using the Spellbinders Heart Swag embossing folder.

The prize for this months challenge is some digital images from Doctor Digi.

Pop over to Crafty Calendar to join us in this months challenge and also check out the gorgeous cards from the rest of the DT.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.

See you soon x

Crafty Calendar January Challenge - Happy New Year Card

Good morning and a happy new year.

It's the first Saturday in January so over at Crafty Calendar we have the first monthly challenge of 2026.

For this months challenge the theme is "Anything New" so I went with a Happy New Year card

For my card I have used:

Stitched Numbers die set from Spellbinders (S7-234) cut from Spellbinders colorwheel cardstock.  The top layer was cut from Raven and the base layer from Tuscan.  I cut a second base layer from gold to create a drop shadow.  I decided not to do any stitching on the numbers, I just added a gem to the centre of each stitching circle.

The background is The Greetery Sparkler background stamp on Saffron colorwheel cardstock.

This months prize is digital images from Polkadoodles.
