Today I'm sharing a set of cards using several of the new Spellbinders December 2025 Club products. This month's theme is What Matters Most, full of love and friendship.

Spellbinders Clubs: How It Works
Our family was struck by the flu like many that we know so I'm posting later than intended. Keep in mind, those that have yet to subscribe to the clubs or missed December, the products will be available on the 10th of January for individual purchase. xx
Scroll to the bottom for a complete list of products used.
My little one had her 10th birthday recently, so I made the above card for her. Her party theme (which was postponed due to sickness) is cozy pajama party. She even made mugs for all her friends. Her personalized mug is buffalo plaid so the foiled red mugs seemed a nice match for her party mug. Instead of adding the stitched heart element, I chose to die cut the heart flower from the embossing and love how it turned out. While hard to see, the kraft panel behind the mugs is also embossed.
My second mug card was stitched, using the Light Gold DMC Diamant Thread. My color palette was inspired by one of the cards from the DIY Color Deck System - selecting cool turquoise and pale pink. I love how clean the colors look! The steam heart was created with vellum.
I inked two Where Love Lands Stencil of the Month panels, adding a nice inking of blue around the above panel. I chose not to back the sentiment panel with a colored panel since I adhered over the inked flowers. I love that the colors peek through the letters. After adding a pair of embossed strips to the upper left corner with my tiny stapler, I splattered gold onto the panel to complete the card.
I used the following Distress Oxide Inks for both stenciled panels:
Spun Sugar
Picked Raspberry
Dried Marigold
Cracked Pistachio
Lucky Clover
I wanted to keep my second stenciled card very clean and simple, selecting a foiled sentiment and a tap of gold splatter. I love it.
My final card is the simplest. I always glimmer and emboss several panels before I start creating, so I have everything ready to go. The glimmered background was just too pretty to just store with the plate for a later use, so I decided to creatively layer an embossed panel atop. To break the white up a bit, I pulled that same cool turquoise cardstock to layer behind the embossed piece and cut a solid sentiment banner for use behind a foiled sentiment.
