    Fun Dies and Crafty Babe Supplies Card

    May 20, 2025 / No Comments

    Hi there crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel. Today I am sharing a step-by-step tutorial using some of the Crafty Babe dies and Simple Stories supplies to create a card. When working with papercrafting supplies, I like to choose a sentiment for my card first and build out the rest of the card around it. Here, I started by checking out the Crafty Babe Bits & Pieces cardstock die cuts and chose the “shine & sparkle” pieces. Next, I chose a piece of the 12×12 Crafty Babe patterned paper and cut it down to A2 (4.25×5.5”). I use my Color Swatch Petal Etched Dies swatch book of ColorWheel cardstock to find coordinating…

    Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Amy Tsuruta and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring the amazing Crafty Babe Collection with Simple Stories. I love the retro color palette and crafty theme. I had so much fun with these happy colors! I have three cards that I made especially for today. Let’s take a look at my first project: I used one of the icons from the Crafty Babe Die Bundle, also separately as Labels & Icons Etched Dies. I mounted it on a white rectangle to look like a Polaroid photo. I teamed it up with a journal card and stripe paper from the Simple Stories Crafty…

    Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Amy Tsuruta, and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring the gorgeous Spring in Kyoto Collection by Alex Syberia Designs. I am so excited for this collection.  My favorite international vacation place is Japan. The food, the culture, and overall natural beauty is amazing. Spring in Japan is beautiful, especially if you can catch the cherry blossoms [sakura in Japanese]. My first card is almost an all white card, which is definitely a challenge to photograph. The Floral Fans 3D Embossing Folder is absolutely gorgeous.  I used it with a BetterPress Porcelain card panel. The Cherry Blossoms BetterPress Plate & Die Set were…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams, and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of fun cards made with the new Classic Road Legends Collection by Mindy Eggen.  The intricate die sets from this collection create such realistic vehicles, and I was inspired to mix them with some of my favorite masculine patterned papers to create three cards for the men in my life.

I wanted to incorporate a rainbow palette with my projects but also keep it to a handful of colors. For my first project, I designed a mini composition book. I combined the Memo Splatter BetterPress Plate along with the Reel Color Sentiment BetterPress Plate & Die Set. This is when I tell you that I love working with BetterPress products!  The Memo Splatter was inked in Azalea – BetterPress Ink, and the sentiment in Black – BetterPress ink.
