Today’s Card: Farmers Market Tote

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for April 2026 Farmer's Market Tote card.

For today’s card, I created a charming die-cut design using the Farmers Market theme from the Large Die of the Month.

The focal point is a shopping tote filled with fresh produce, milk bottles, tulips, and a long baguette.

To add texture, I embossed the tote using the Market Weave Embossing Folder from the Embossing Folder of the Month kit.

Tip: I keep a large envelope filled with paper scraps, which are perfect when die cutting small elements like fruits, flowers, and accessories.

Runner-Up Favorite Kit

My very first subscription kit was Hero Arts My Monthly Hero, and it remains one of my favorites.

The kit is now available in two versions:

• My Monthly Super Hero
• My Monthly Hero (smaller version)

Hero Arts kits are known for their creative themes and versatile stamps.

One recent favorite is the Big Squishy Hugs kit, which I’ve been using for many of my get-well cards.
