Meet the Winners of Our Thankful For You Card Contest!

Today we’re thrilled to announce the winners of our Thankful For You Card Contest!


We invited makers to share cards inspired by gratitude — celebrating kindness, friendship, and the simple joy of saying “thank you.” And wow, our community delivered! Every submission overflowed with warmth, artistry, and heart.


After enjoying all your beautiful creations, we’re excited to recognize two designs that truly captured the spirit of thankfulness and creativity.

Staff Pick Winner: Juan Ambida

Juan’s card, featuring an adorable mouse holding a coffee cup under a cozy café awning, charmed our team instantly. The sentiment “Thanks a latte for all you do” perfectly ties together the delightful design elements — from the warm background hues to the vibrant florals and detailed accents. It’s a joyful reminder that gratitude can be both heartfelt and fun!


Fun Fact: The adorable flower window shop stamp dates all the way back to our January 2019 My Monthly Hero Kit! It makes us so happy to see our community pairing timeless favorites with fresh, new products.


Congratulations, Juan! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent and creative storytelling through your design.

Random Social Winner: Liat Rotem Melamed

We fired up the randomizer wheel, and Liat is our lucky random winner! Liat created a sweet squirrel-themed card with glowing fall colors and playful leaves. The design truly captures the cozy feeling of gratitude. 


Congratulations, Liat, and thank you for spreading joy and inspiration through your art!

Juan and Liat, you have each won a $100 gift card! Please email herosupport@spellbinders.us to claim your prize.



A Huge Thank You to Everyone Who Participated


We are so grateful for everyone who joined the contest and shared their creativity with us. We loved seeing how you interpreted the theme in your unique styles.


Keep crafting, keep creating, and most importantly — keep sharing your gratitude through handmade kindness.
