    Classic Road Legends 2.0 Collection by Mindy Eggen | Route 66 Inspired Cardmaking

    June 13, 2026 / No Comments

    Welcome, crafty friends! This is Mindy Eggen, and I’m so excited to introduce Classic Road Legends 2.0! This collection is a continuation of the original Classic Road Legends released in 2025. Since that release, I’ve heard so much wonderful feedback from all of you, and many of you couldn’t wait to see what was coming next. Not only is this collection personal to me because of the nostalgic memories it brings of my dad & family growing up, but I’ve also loved hearing how much these cars mean to all of you. The stories you’ve shared have truly touched my heart, and I’m so happy this collection has connected with…

    Easy Patriotic Card Tutorial with the Stars & Stripes Stamp & Die Set

    June 6, 2026 / 1 Comment

    Hi, crafty friends! Lea Lawson here with you today, creating a patriotic card featuring the beautiful new Stars & Stripes stamp & die set. I’m sharing my step-by-step process in easy-to-follow photos and instructions! To start, die-cut the flag background from Classic White cardstock. Die-cut the stripe dies from Ruby Glitter Metallic cardstock and the stars from Cosmic Sky cardstock. Adhere the stars & stripe layers to the white background layer with liquid glue. The background die leaves embossed lines as a guideline for layering. Stamp the sentiment in black ink directly to the lower right section of an A2-sized card base cut & folded from classic white cardstock. Glue…

    Hello everyone! I am absolutely thrilled to finally share my brand new collection with Spellbinders called Whimsical Village. When I sat down to design this collection, I wanted to create something completely fun and unique. We all love creating houses with dies, but this time I wanted to design houses with a playful twist. These houses are quirky, wonky, and packed with personality! I designed this entire collection with cardmakers and art journalers in mind. The pieces are incredibly forgiving and so easy to mix and match. Even though there are many pieces included, it never feels like a puzzle to put together; it is just pure fun. You can…

    May 27, 2026 / 2 Comments

    Hey Crafty Friends! Amy Tsuruta here. Today, I’m sharing a trio of cards featuring the Shiny New Day Collection. Let’s be honest, real-life cleaning is definitely a chore, but crafting it? Sign me up, especially when using a fresh, happy color palette! Mess Happens My first card features a little cleaning scene. Of course, having such cute supplies makes any chore more tolerable. I think this design is perfect for a sorry card, whether you’re apologizing for a literal mess or just sending a note when things in life get a bit messy.

    May 26, 2026 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial with you using the Squeaky Clean Etched Dies from the Shiny New Day collection. Whilst cleaning is something a lot of us hate to do, making cards using cute die cuts is definitely something fun, and I loved putting all the die cuts together to create this scene! I kept to a minimal colour palette today – just aqua, yellow, and white, which helps the scene not look too busy. There are other dies in the set, though, so if you like more full scenes, you can do that too! DIE-CUTTING THE DIES Die cut the dies from Squeaky Clean…
