Through the Arbor Collection Introduction with Susan Tierney-Cockburn
Hello Paper Gardeners, I’m Susan Tierney-Cockburn and I’m excited to introduce my latest collection with Spellbinders, Through the Arbor.

These covered shelters that were originally built to provide shade, now offer a way to punctuate the walk way into your garden! There are five (5) new flowers and shrubs, a 3-dimensional Arbor (of course) and a background embossing folder,…

Mixing and Layering Wax Beads to Level Up Your Seals
Hey there! Daniel West, here, with some great tips on mixing and layering wax beads to take your seals to the next level.

I prefer this method of layering seals to coloring them with a marker because it makes for a very sharp and clear seal impression with contrast. It also is permanent and won’t wipe off with your finger. Later in January, I will have a YouTube tutorial on my channel. Instructions for layering waxes on seals: Warm your seal a bit over the flame of your votive candle or just let…
