Hello! I had so much fun creating today’s card, I couldn’t wait to share it with you! I used 3 of the Spellbinders Club Kits for March 2026, and I really love how it turned out. My husband loves a particular brand of sneaker, so when saw the dies for it in the Large Die of the Month, I knew I needed to recreate an old pair of his shoes.

I needed to make the shoes red, his favorite color. The laces, soles, etc. were done in an ivory, instead of a harsh white. I used a silver gel pen to add the grommets to the shoes. Aren’t these dies fabulous? And there’s a lot more in this set that I haven’t used yet! You’ll see them in upcoming posts.
My background was made with the March 2026 3D Embossing Folder of the Month. It’s called Urban Grid and it’s such a cool map! I inked the folder with Charcoal Suit Ink from Altenew before running my gray cardstock through my die cut machine. I used the same cardstock for my sentiment, which is from the Clear Stamp & Die Set of the Month. I mounted everything onto an ivory card base (the same color I used for the shoes), and I added a verrrrry thin border of Nocturne Ink to the edges.
This is a great encouragement card and would work for any gender. I know I will be making a ton of these shoes! I might just build up a stash of them so that I have them at the ready when I need them. Please visit Spellbinders to see all of the Club Kits for the month. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
