    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…

    Two Color Mini Wax Seals

    April 15, 2025 / No Comments

    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…

    Feminine Monochromatic Cards

    March 12, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Gorgeous You Collection. This collection includes four dies sets, press plate sentiments and a 3D embossing folder. This collection made me want to make mostly monochromatic cards. They were perfect to pair with the new ColorWheel Cardstock. I went through the new ColorWheel Cardstock and picked three or four shades of pink, teal, and purple. I used less than one sheet for these three cards plus I made several other cards. Emboss an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Cross My Heart 3D Embossing Folder. Blend on pink ink from the bottom fading to white. Adhere to an…

    Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog again, this time around featuring the Gorgeous You Collection. Having two girls who are just getting into make-up and all things pretty, this collection was right down my alley, and I had so much fun playing and making cards using the products. All the products from this collection are amazing and I had such hard time choosing products for each card. I especially love the Make Up Bag die set, as it includes inserts to make it into a gift card holder and a connector piece to make a shaped card. I thought these additional…

    Hey there, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog to bring you several card designs I created using the GORGEOUS YOU collection! All three of these cards feature the Cross My Heart embossing folder to add texture and interest to the background, and then I mixed and matched the dies and the Better Press sentiment plate for some fun designs. Let’s take a closer look. My first card features the florals from this collection, GORGEOUS YOU FLORALS. In my personal opinion, you can never go wrong with florals. They are beautiful on your cards all on their own,…
