July Spellbinders Club Kits: Mugs, Mittens, and Sweater Hugs!
The Spellbinders Club Kits for July are now available for new subscribers! This month's theme is Mugs, Mittens, and Sweater Hugs.
The small dies of the month are called Cocoa Greetings, and consist of 18 dies to make some cute mugs. To begin this month, I made up 3 mugs which you will see being used today and in the next few days with various backgrounds. I thought I'd show you them all together first.

Butterfly Hugs
Happy 4th of July to my stateside friends - hope your day is a fun one!
I've been wanting to revisit a postal collage set of stencils that I got earlier this year, and use it with the other postage collage goodies I already own. Butterflies are certainly a July thing, so today is the day!

Butterfly Birthday
I recently got myself a new Doodlebug pad of paper called Butterfly Kisses, and when I saw Sheri's sketch using lots of patterned papers, I wanted to use my new ones to CASE her cards.

Woodblock Wednesday!
"Tis the season for picking posies from my garden to bring inside to enjoy and I often pop them into a canning jar to sit on our kitchen table. So this month I chose a Stampendous stamp dated 2013 and a Hero Arts sentiment dated 2009 for my Woodblock Wednesday entry!

Elegant Rose
I couldn't resist this set of stencils from Simon's April release, You Are My Favorite, especially after seeing Heather's idea using them mixed with embossing folders. I needed 2 cards for anniversaries this month - here's the one I made for my husband - it was 54 years this year!
