tanglemouse cards: Spellbinders Platinum 6

Hello everyone,

Well - I am rather late to the 2026 party with my first card of the year!

I have been making cards, just not sharing them here!

I have also very excitedly joined Bonny Snowdon's Academy which is an amazing Pencil Drawing Course. I am really enjoying it! You may see more of that from me as the year progresses.

Anyways - here I am today to show you two cards.

I must say a MASSIVE thank you though to my lovely friend Elaine (Marker Geek).

I was inspired to make these cards after I saw one Elaine had made. I just fell more than a little in love with it. - and what's more, the card style is perfect for two lovely girls - my friend Lyn's Grandaughters!

So with Elaine's approval, I made two cards which I am sharing with you today! - and oh my, I had the best card making fun I'd had in ages!

Well - I seem to have missed out sharing some cards recently so I'm trying to squish them in today - bear with me!

First up are some cards made with one of my favourite and most versatile die sets!

I have made soooo many cards with this collection it really is worth it's weight in gold!

I also want to say thank you to the talented designers who have previously shared versions of this card and inspired me - particularly the stripy tights version!
