April 2026 Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month

The April Stitching Die of the Month-unstitched! The Spellbinders Stitching Dies are so versatile. You can add/omit the die with holes for stitching. I did originally stitch the diecuts but I decided to spatter the card so I save those stitched dies for later. The eyes on the veggies are so cute, but you can leave those off too.

In addition to the veggies, stitching dies and eyes, there's 2 sentiments included, "Rooting for You" and "Thanks a Bushell". There's also an edger die that creates the soil line, a bit jagged.

I diecut all the veggie bodies from mixed media cardstock so I could ink and dip and spatter the pieces. I used several colors of Distress Inks, so many I can't remember all the names! Sorry. Next time I'll film my process so I can remember what I used.

Spellbinders April 2026 Small Die of the Month

For today's card, I used the April Small Die of the Month. I'm always surprised at how much is included in the Small DOM. It's a great value at $17.50! You can always buy it at the individual price the following month, if it's available but the price goes up to $27.00 and you don't get all the perks of being a club member. Remember, you can cancel at anytime.

I cut all the pansies from scrap cardstock and spattered them with white acrylic paint.

The background is the 3D embossing folder of the month. I always like a bit of texture on my cards.

That's it for today, easy!

Your Paper Insider April 2026 IG Hop!

Today I'm taking part in the Your Paper Insider April Instagram Hop! I had so much fun creating this card with the paper from Box 14. The gorgeous shimmer background paper is the Blue Moon Cocktail Cardstock. This cardstock is a lovely shade of dark blue, with a subtle shimmer. I used the large Tim Holtz Botanical embossing folder with it. I love the pattern on this folder, I used it so many times in the original smaller size.

Here is a card I made in 2020, this blog post was visited over 7000 times. You can see it by clicking HERE.

This card is much more playful. I used a few different sets to make it, I listed them all below under supplies. I used paper from my leftover scraps from Box 14, it's hard for me to throw away even the smallest piece of beautiful paper.

Follow along for more paper inspiration, and hop through the YPI design team to see what they’ve made.
