Today I'm sharing a collection of cards using the Spellbinders November 2025 release The Wonder of Oz by Graphic 45. (Affiliate links are used throughout at no additional cost to you. Any small commission I make goes toward my craft fund so I can continue to create and share with all of you. xx).

I am such a huge fan of Graphic 45 so this collaboration was one I was really excited about. The vintage line art is perfect! I chose to use kraft cardstock to ground all of the cards in my collection since it always has that vintage feel to it.
I used different BetterPress Inks to press each of the characters. I even embossed on kraft, inking the poppies with distress oxides after embossing. To add interest and pull from the famous movie scene when snowfall fell on the field of poppies, I splattered white on three of the four backgrounds (omitting the one behind our fine Tin Man above).
My family recently traveled to NYC and saw Wicked on Broadway. (What a treat!) This card plays homage to the story from the musical. If you've seen the musical, you'll understand the reference of love between these two. I added "A Wicked" from one sentiment to the "Happiness" sentiment to further play off the Wicked musical.
My final card features the most handsome cowardly lion. I quickly colored him with alcohol markers after pressing him with Clay BetterPress Ink. I just adore him as I do all of the characters honestly. (I never even used Glinda!)
