Vintage Postal Christmas Cards
Hi everyone! So happy to welcome you to a new post here on the Spellbinders blog. I’m Pam Sparks, cardmaker, blogger and instagram creator. Today I’m sharing three cards I made with the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. My first card uses images from the Sketched Santas and Sketched Christmas stamp and die sets. I had fun stamping and coloring on kraft color cardstock with color pencils. I kept it pretty simple…inking, some die cutting and layering for A2 size cards. My second card I had the idea to go ‘postal’ and make a faux postcard design using the Sketched Snowmen stamp and die sets. I stamped and heat-embossed two…

Step Up Your Crafting With Embossing Folders
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Sealed 3D Botanical collection. This beautiful collection features 3D cut & emboss folders, labels and tags dies, plus wax seal stamps. My projects today focus on embossing folder techniques. TECHNIQUE 1 – INK BLENDING For my first card, I wanted to show simple ink blending with embossing folders. This can be done before embossing or afterwards and they both give slightly different looks. For this card, I added the ink blending first. This meant that I could not take advantage of the cut & emboss feature of these folders, but it still…

House Mouse Summer Fun Card Ideas
Hello and welcome back to the Spellbinders blog. My name is Joy Wilson I and hope to inspire you to pull out your favorite markers and the new House Mouse red rubber cling stamps that have been introduced this month from the Summer Fun Collection. This collection is so enjoyable because it encompasses our favorite summer pastimes that will take you down memory lane.

I have heard people say that sometimes they don’t know where to start with their coloring because light source,…
