    From Paper to Patent Leather: Crafting a Textured Designer Purse

    April 21, 2026 / 2 Comments

    Hi, crafty friends, it’s Heejung Hunsberger here, and I am incredibly honored to be featured as a Guest Designer on the Spellbinders blog today. April brings us the chic and highly anticipated “We All Have Baggage” Collection, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the star of the show: the Designer Purse Etched Dies. My goal for today’s project is to show you how a few thoughtful techniques – like 3D embossing and precise layering—can transform simple cardstock into a high-end, miniature masterpiece. Let’s dive into the details! If you’d like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have…

    Scenic Light Up Card With Pear Blossom Press One Light

    October 19, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello everyone!  Rachel Alvarado here with a holiday scenic light-up card using a Pear Blossom Press One Light combined with the Woodland Scene Etched Dies.  I absolutely adore interactive cards, so I had a lot of fun creating this light-up card.  The One Lights are super easy to use, so I tried to keep my card basic so that the steps would be simple to follow if you have never made a card like this before. DIE-CUT IMAGES Die cut all the pieces from colored cardstock. Assemble the trees and deer together with liquid adhesive Set aside the images to work on the background. EMBOSS CARD BASE Trim a piece…

    Step by Step Tutorial: Create a Halloween Card

    August 19, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams, and I’m excited to share step-by-step instructions to create this adorable Halloween card made with the exclusive Pupkin Die Set from Spellbinders. This little guy is so sweet and perfect for sending a cute Halloween hello to any dog lover on your list! Die cut the pup and his costume out of white, Anchor, Raven, Carrot, Rainforest, and Violet cardstock using the Pupkin Die Set. For a little extra interest, add some shading and spots to the head, feet, and snout die-cuts using grey ink and a sponge dauber. Assemble the puppy with liquid glue, using reverse tweezers to pick and place tiny die-cut…

    Creating Personalized Note cards

    August 11, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! This is Flávia Cavaliéri and I’m so happy to be on Spellbinders blog sharing some fun scrapbooking-style note cards! I have recently been on a trip to Europe for the first time, and instead of sending postal cards to close family members, as I usually do, I decided this time to make personalized note cards using pictures of my favorite moments! And, of course, I will mail these note cards along with some fun souvenirs! I was highly inspired by many creative scrapbookers that I have been following on social media to create these note cards. All of today’s note cards have a lot of texture and many…

    Dyan Reaveley Collection

    August 7, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello Spellbinders friends! It’s Allison Frazier, and I am so excited to be sharing these fun projects that I made using the new Dyan Reaveley Collection. As soon as I saw these products, I was instantly reminded of my art journaling days. I actually spent time art journaling before I discovered cardmaking, so being able to combine the two like I did with these projects was so much fun. Because I started art journaling before becoming a cardmaker, I still have a bunch of those supplies in my stash, including many from Dyan’s Dylusions collection. So that is where I started for all of my projects today. All of the…
