Spellbinders’ 3D Embossing Folder of the Month for April, 2026

This month’s  clubs release leans beautifully into a fresh market theme, and the pairing of the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month with the Small Die of the Month could not be more perfect. For this card, I combined the richly textured Market Crates embossing folder with the charming florals from Pansy Seed Co. to create a bold, dimensional design full of colour and movement.

Card Details

I began with an A2 panel of Cosmic Sky Colour Colorwheel Cardstock (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) and die cut an oval opening using Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals. After removing the oval, the panel was embossed with the Market Crates 3D embossing folder, adding incredible depth and texture to the background. This panel was then popped up with foam tape onto an A2 card base.

The oval die cut piece was placed back into the opening to create a seamless inset focal area. From there, I built the floral arrangement using the Pansy Seed Co. dies. The pansies and bellflowers were cut from Colorwheel Cardstock in Rainforest, Beeswax, Violet, Lavender, Mulberry, and Black. The bellflowers were arranged at the top of the oval, while the pansies cascade down the side for a natural, flowing composition.

To keep everything secure and dimensional, any elements overlapping the oval opening were supported with foam squares. The sentiment, from the Press & Foil of the Month, Seed Co. Border, was hot foiled in gold on Cosmic Sky cardstock, then die cut and stacked with black foam for added lift. It was tucked gently into the floral arrangement to keep the design cohesive.

To finish the card, I added a few dark blue confetti embellishments along with Crystal Drops in Morning Dew for a subtle touch of shine.

Final Thoughts

This combination of texture, bold colour, and dimensional layering really brings the market theme to life. The deep blue background makes those florals absolutely pop, and the mix of embossing, die cutting, and foiling adds so much interest without feeling overwhelming. It’s a perfect example of how beautifully the monthly clubs coordinate—and how easy it is to create something truly striking by combining them.
