Spellbinders September 2026 3D Embossing Folder

Today I used the Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder Club for September. It's called Autumn Bark, made to resemble the texture of tree bark. I made it with a navy cardstock and used Silver Luster Wax to highlight the texture.

I diecut an oval from the center and placed the Small Die of the Month inside, the Owl and leaves from Owl Be There. If you like owls, this one is a cutie. The club price is only $17.50, if you wait until it's sold individually, the price goes up to $27! You have until September 27 to sign up.

You can learn more about the Spellbinders Clubs and the benefits of membership by clicking HERE.

The leaves are cut from inked scraps, the owl is cut from light gray and white cardstock with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink used to ink the edges.

Here's a previous card I made with this set:

That's it for today, thank you for visiting!

Sizzix Nouveau Butterfly Embossing Folder


It's the 25th anniversary of September 11. I vividly remember the shock of that day and have been a bit sad thinking about it this week.

I guess when I started working on this card a bit of that sadness came out. After I was done, I thought it looked like a condolences card. I think it's true that art is a form of therapy. It really helps.

I know there are going to be people who are interested in how I made this card, so here is what I did. I took the Nouveau Butterfly embossing folder and embossed a piece of shiny gold cardstock. The Nouveau Butterfly is from the new Willow Wolfe collection. It's quite beautiful and you can see it by clicking HERE.

To dull the shiny gold cardstock and give it a vintage look, I took a small amount of black acrylic paint and with a SLIGHTLY damp paper towel, I rub it over the entire embossed panel. It goes into all the recessed crevices and I remove it from the raised areas. It truly takes a small amount of paint, as most is removed.

For the butterfly diecut, I used the Sizzix Impresslit called Floral Butterfly, it's an older Impresslit die. It cuts and embosses in one pass. I used black cardstock, ran it through and then took some of the Sizzix Luster Wax and with my finger lightly applied it to the raised areas. A light touch with a very small amount is key, as once applied there's no removing it.

That's it for today, thank you for visiting.
