The Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder of the Month for December, Unlock My Heart, is a wonderful way to add instant texture and a playful, love-filled theme to your handmade cards. Paired with coordinating Club dies and the bonus item included in the Deluxe Caboodle Kit, it makes creating cohesive projects effortless. These two cards showcase how the same embossing folders, colour palette, and gold accents can be used in different ways—one sweet and whimsical with the otter, and the other cozy and fun with the spa-themed accessories—making this collection perfect for Valentine’s Day, friendship cards, or just-because greetings.
