    Add the Perfect Finishing Touch With Mini Wax Seals

    April 16, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Mini Wax Seals collection. As the name suggests, these wax seals are much smaller in size that the previous ones and are oh-so cute! I think they are the perfect finishing touch for cards, tags, boxes and more! JUST A NOTE My first card uses two of the new Mini Wax Seals. I thought they would look great on mini envelopes. They are a little on the large size for the envelopes I used, but I still think they look great! To make this card: Die cut the envelope from Love Note…

    Autumn is Upon Us!

    October 22, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Woodland Tales Collection. Autumn/fall is upon is here in the Northern Hemisphere and this Woodland Tales Collection is perfect for the season (but can be used all round too!). Whilst my color palette doesn’t necessarily give autumn vibes, the subject matter does! EACH DAY IS A GIFT For my first project, I wanted to use Finley the Fox. I thought that he would look great nestled in an autumn forest background. For me, mushrooms work perfectly for autumn, so I grabbed them and got to work die-cutting! To make this card: Die…

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Sealed 3D Christmas Collection. This beautiful collection features two press plates, a box die, 3 wax seal stamps and lots of beautiful wax beads! I thought for my blog post today that I would focus on creating pretty packaging.

    Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today from Sixth Street Sundries, and today I am sharing some inspiration using the luscious new Sealed 3D Christmas collection from Spellbinders! This new collection is so beautiful and creates some super pretty holiday cards and the sweetest gift box using the new Ribbon Box die.

    September 16, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Sealed 3D Christmas Collection. I love gift wrap and the products in this new collection make it so easy to dress up a sweet little surprise at parties and for visitors who pop in during the holiday season.

    A Holiday Advent Calendar Using the Match Box Die by Debi Adams

    November 29, 2017 / 8 Comments

    Well if you haven’t noticed, the holiday season is upon us and I thought it would be fun to do something a bit different for my Christmas home décor this year.  I’m Debi Adams and I love to decorate for any occasion and Christmas is no different but I only like breaking the “rules” when it comes to enhancing my home. Today for example, I am bringing you an advent calendar that is done in pink, champagne and gold set on a smokey-blue gray background. Ah, what a rebel, right?  I love the class and elegance of the colors. Anyway, it’s an easy project to create because who really has…
