Oh, Hello Gorgeous
Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog again, this time around featuring the Gorgeous You Collection. Having two girls who are just getting into make-up and all things pretty, this collection was right down my alley, and I had so much fun playing and making cards using the products. All the products from this collection are amazing and I had such hard time choosing products for each card. I especially love the Make Up Bag die set, as it includes inserts to make it into a gift card holder and a connector piece to make a shaped card. I thought these additional…

Texture Backgrounds and Spanish Sentiments
Hello Friends! It’s Raquel here again. Today I’m excited to share some easy to make cards with lots of texture. I’ve also used the new Spanish sentiments Betterpress Plate & die set and the Spanish everyday sentiments etched dies, both of them from the International Sentiment collection.
