    Cute Critter Card Ideas with the Simon Hurley Sending Hugs Collection by Spellbinders

    January 17, 2026 / No Comments

    Hello, friends! This is Jingle (Jennifer Ingle) with you today, and I am so excited to be sharing the latest collection from Simon Hurley and Spellbinders Sending Hugs! This collection is full of super cute critters ready to give out ALL of the hugs. Can you EVEN with these cuties? I paired them with the Puffy Hearts embossing folder, which I was able to use for three different background looks! For my first card in this collection, I chose to create the Birthday Bear as a panda. The set is really fantastic, as it offers a few options so you can make the most of it, getting different designs out…

    November 12, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Sometimes the Smallest Things Take Up the Most Room in Your Heart: A Pooh Hanging for Gifting

    October 29, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello, folks! This is Jennifer Ingle here with you today, and I am so excited to be sharing a super fun (and rather simple) stitching project using the Stitched Classic Pooh Collection. If you are a Winnie the Pooh die-hard, you may have recognized that quote in my title. It holds so much truth. Sometimes a small handmade gift can say so very much to your recipient. That is why I created this adorable hanging. I stitched two of the Pooh character to add to my hanging. You can see I chose to not add stuffing, but if you wanted to, you could totally make his belly a bit chubby…

    Ski-son’s Greetings: Three Cards That Make Us Feel Ready To Hit the Slopes

    October 24, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello, friends! This is Jennifer Ingle here with you today, and I am so excited to be sharing three very fun card designs with you. I have a small confession: while I implied that these designs will get you ready to hit the slopes, the truth is, Simon Hurley’s latest collection, Ski-son’s Greetings, actually makes me ready to hit the LODGE. I do love a good cozy ski lodge and a warm cup of a little something on a snowy day. I am happy to leave the skiing to others. I created all three cards using the fantastic Streamline 3-D Embossing Folder as the foundation for my design. I love…
