Spellbinders | Classic Cool: Masculine Birthday Card with a Retro Speedometer

This masculine birthday card features the retro charm of a die cut speedometer from Mindy Eggen’s new Classic Road Legends collection for Spellbinders. I used aquas, teals, and silver cardstock with a pop of coral to create a cool, monochromatic look—perfect for Father’s Day, birthdays, or celebrating life in the fast lane!

Exploring Spellbinders’ 48 Colors – A Swatching Adventure!

Swatching Spellbinders’ 48 colors of cardstock turned out to be both a creative and relaxing process! Using the Color Swatch Petal Dies and color stamps, I organized my swatches in rainbow order and discovered both old favorites and exciting new shades. I documented the entire process—die-cutting, stamping, and assembling my swatches on a ring—and even created a reel to show how it all came together.
