A Perfect Blend Valentine
Spellbinders | Stitching Die of the Month Club – December 2025
Hello, crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a sweet and cozy Valentine’s Day card featuring the December Stitching Die of the Month from Spellbinders. The overall club theme for December is What Matters Most, a heartfelt collection focused on connection, comfort, and celebrating the people we love.
This month’s featured set, A Perfect Blend, is perfect for creating warm, inviting projects with its adorable stitched mugs and charming details. For my card, I paired the stitched elements with soft pinks, layered textures, and tea–themed accents. The result is a sweet and cheerful card that’s sure to warm someone’s heart!
Before we get started, here’s a quick peek at what makes the Stitching Die of the Month shine, and how the Spellbinders Clubs work.
Stitching Die of the Month Club
The Stitching Die of the Month Club is one of my personal favorites. Each month, you’ll receive a new set of dies designed specifically for adding stitching details with thread. The results are always stunning and add such a unique, handmade touch to your projects. I love that you can choose to stitch them up for texture or leave them unstitched for a clean, die-cut look. It is like getting two designs in one! You can learn more or join the stitching club here.
