Welcome to the fifth and final day of our 18th birthday celebration here on the blog! All week long we have been sharing inspiration from our talented team members, but today, we are sharing a special New & Noteworthy post from our partners at Spellbinders! It just so happens that they have a celebratory release perfect for sharing during our 18th birthday celebration that we think you will just love! And don’t forget to read all of the way to the bottom of the post and comment so that you can enter to win today’s giveaways!

Here at Spellbinders, we are super excited to be wishing Scrapbook and Cards Today a very happy 18th birthday! We have loved being a part of the SCT family and look forward to many fun collaborations in the future.

Today it feels very appropriate to be sharing a new collection from our talented designer Yana Smakula. It’s called “Let’s Celebrate” and the products can mix and match to create cards that celebrate and express gratitude using an array of beautiful florals and lovely sentiments.

We asked Yana about her inspiration for this collection, and she responded, “I couldn’t help but think of peonies. I associate them with late Spring when everything is new and fresh and full of beautiful smells. Late spring is also the time to celebrate Mother’s Day and I could envision making a Mother’s Day card for my mom using these products. I hope you feel inspired to create, whether you are making a card for your mom, or a friend, enjoy!”

Yana’s collection has something for everyone. Love die cutting? Check out the gorgeous Peony Celebration die set. This stunning intricate peony bloom is assembled from only two dies! Such a stunning result without a lot of fussy die cutting.

Love letterpress? Yana has four beautiful press plates, one with a coordinating stencil! The BetterPress System is so easy to use and with the new registration templates you can layer vibrant colors on your BetterPress paper with ease.

Yana’s personal favorite is the Peony Background Press Plate – the entire plate is covered with stemmed full blooms! It’s a beautiful backdrop for any creation. And, don’t forget, you also use the BetterPress plate in the Glimmer Hot Foil system. The card below was hot foiled in gold and colored with markers!


Love wax sealing? The Let’s Celebrate Wax Seal is perfect for so many occasions. Think of upcoming graduation season, birthday, promotions and more. If you haven’t tried wax sealing yet, be prepared for a fun and unique experience!

We hope you have loved getting a peek at Yana’s new Let’s Celebrate collection. We know you will love creating with this diverse and special group of products! And Happy Birthday again to Scrapbook and Cards Today! 18 years! I guess you are all grown up now! Congratulations!
