    Crafting Friendship for Halloween, Christmas, and More

    October 24, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello! It’s Jean from Right As Rain. Discover the creative potential of the Spellbinders Beads of Friendship Collection! Inspired by Taylor Swift’s iconic friendship bracelets, this collection features die sets, BetterPress sets, and a stamp set to craft paper versions of these beloved accessories. To show the collection’s versatility, I’ve created a Halloween card, a Christmas card, and a card celebrating the spirit of friendship. The letters on the bracelets add a graphic touch, making it easy to personalize each card with sentiments that are both striking and meaningful. Let’s take a look! Craft a Halloween card featuring a hand holding a cat and ghost, with bracelets that spell “Hocus…

This beautiful collection is like the name suggests, perfect for essentials! There are frames/layers, tags, backgrounds plus lots more!

If you’d like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel where I regularly post video tutorials. Today, I’m sharing three seasonal cards featuring the All Season Collection. I made cards for Spring, Autumn, and Winter, which are all included in this post. Winter I embossed the white cardstock using the Hexi Snowflake embossing folder of July 24. Then, I used the Emerald Cut Labels and Tag Die to die-cut Sage-colored cardstock to create the frame. After that,…

    Crafty Lessons Learned with the Happy Hour Collection

    August 21, 2024 / 4 Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here. The fantastic Happy Hour Collection consists of 2 cocktail glasses and other unique items to use with or without the glasses. It’s clever and my favorite of everything Spellbinders has released so far this year. Today I’m sharing a brayered background, an explosion of color blocking, and a cheeky Halloween card. None of these contain new ideas, but I learned a few things along the way that I will share with you. I hope you enjoy the cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

    Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com.  I am happy to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Collection. My first project showcases the new Sketched Santas Stamp Set.  To start, I stamped my images onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   I then used Copic Markers to color them and the coordinating die set to cut them out. Copic Colors Used: Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89 Black: W7, W9 White: 0, C00, C1, C3 Blues: B02, BG34, B36 I then created my card background…

    A Christmas Dance

    August 15, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three projects using the Dancin’ Christmas Friends Collection. This fabulous collection features characters that are made so that their legs move, or dance, which is super fun! A GIFT FOR YOU For my first card, I am using the Dancin’ Gnome Etched Dies. This die creates a gnome that is almost 6” tall, so I opted for a mini slimline card, to get the full effect of his dancing legs! To make this card: Die cut Dancin’ Gnome Etched Dies from Snowdrift, Bearly Peach, Teal Topaz, Waterfall, Poppy Field, and Silver Assortment…

    Christmas Cardmaking using Contemporary Colours

    August 2, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello there crafters! Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m excited to be here to show you some ideas using the Home For The Holidays Collection. For my three cards today, I thought it would be fun to use modern, contemporary colors for a super pretty Christmas vibe. I love traditional colors at Christmas, but it’s always good to shake it up a little and I usually end up with a fairly even mix of styles. The Home For The Holidays Collection is a big one and it is packed with super fun dies, gorgeous press plates, beautiful sentiments, and an embossing folder that actually could…
