The Magic of Wax Seals
Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I am a HUGE fan of Spellbinders Wax Seals. I love the way they look on cards, and I find them so relaxing to create! So today, I am thrilled to share some cards I made with the new Holiday Magic Wax Seals. The new Holiday Magic Wax Seal Frames come in rectangular and oval shapes. They bring to mind beautiful Victorian-era frames. They look amazing when covered in DecoColor Gold paint pens. Of course, you can use ANY colors of wax, but I love the non-traditional pinks and mint greens for these cards! Just add one of the small Holiday Magic Rub…

Add the Perfect Finishing Touch With Mini Wax Seals
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…

Two Color Mini Wax Seals
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Mini Wax Seals. There are four 3D wax seals in the collection. I’ve paired these cards up with the beautiful new Gorgeous You Collection to make two-color wax seals. To create the two-color wax seal, create the wax seal with the color you wish to use for the image. Next, cut the image with small sharp scissors. Press the image back into the wax seal stamp with some pressure. Melt and pour the wax for the background and press the stamp like normal. Emboss an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Cross My Heart 3D Embossing Folder. Blend…

Adding Dimension to your Fall Projects
Hi Spellbinders fans. Alanna Moses from EmbellishCraftLove.com and I am very excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog today. Today, I am working with the Falling Leaves collection. This collection has a press plate with coordinating stencil, a 3D embossing folder, and three wax seals. All of these products are so beautiful and pair perfectly together. For my first card, I started by taking the Autumn Rain BetterPress and Stencil Bundle and used my BetterPress machine to ink up the press plate. I used the Opal Blush Shimmer Interference Ink Pad from Lisa Horton Crafts. I then used the coordinating stencils to color the umbrellas and leaves. I trimmed…

Happy Haunting
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. I love making cute spooky cards and they don’t have to be just for Halloween. To create the dots with wax beads simply drop a small amount onto the silicone mat. It’s a great way to use up any extra melted wax on the spoon! Blend purple ink on a piece of Porcelain BetterPress A2 Card then impress with Spider Web Background Press Plate with the same ink. Adhere to an A2 card base. Die cut the image from Woof-or-Treat Etched Dies and assemble with liquid glue. Adhere to the card with foam tape. Create sentiment…
