    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…

    Birthday, Thank You & Graduation Cards Using Simon Hurley Sending Hugs Dies

    January 9, 2026 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here, and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing three cards using the Simon Hurley Sending Hugs collection. This wonderful collection is perfect for lots of different occasions, and what I love the most is that the die sets (bear, dog, and cat), are completely customizable. You can create multiple characters from just one die set! Whilst there are sentiment labels in the set for the characters to jump out from behind, I decided to use other sentiments for my cards today and have the characters jumping out of apertures instead. So fun! BIRTHDAY BEAR My first card uses Birthday Bear Etched…
