Stampendous Holiday Hugs Cardmaking Ideas
Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be back today to share three cards featuring the Stampendous Holiday Hugs Collection. There are three adorable character die sets in the collection that I’ve turned into shaped cards. There are also coordinating stamp sets to add cute details or sentiments. You could turn these shaped cards into tags by punching a hole in the card base and then adding twine or ribbon. To avoid seeing the back of the cardstock colors when the card is open, die-cut pieces out of white to back things like the hat and beard. Die cut the Santa body from Santa…

Stenciled Book Box with the Layered Christmas Stencils How-To
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share this fun book box tutorial made with the new Layered Christmas Stencils Collection. I love making handmade gift boxes, especially around the holidays, but if you’re strictly a cardmaker then you can just follow the directions to create the box top as a card instead! Trim a piece of Alabaster Cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. Using a sponge dauber with a firm pouncing motion (as opposed to the usual circular blending motion), apply Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink through stencil 1 of the Layered Noel Foliage Stencil Set. Similarly, add Kitsch Flamingo…

It’s Time to Get Stitching with Stitched for Christmas!
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing some holiday cards using the Stitched for Christmas collection. Yes, Christmas! I’ve been crafting long enough to remember when companies would release their Christmas products in November, which never left me enough time to use them. So, I am thrilled to see Christmas in July. Chose a slightly nontraditional Christmas color palette, substituting aqua or teal for green. Note: I made these cards before the sentiments in this collection were available, so I used sentiments from last year’s collections. Warm & Cozy Sweater This card was inspired by all the sweaters my mom made…

Send Hugs Through Cards with Leica Palma
Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m excited to share three cards I made using the new Stampendous Hugs Collection from Spellbinders. These critters are just too cute, and I had a blast creating these cards. Let’s start with my first card.

Birthday Card Ideas With Leica Palma
Hi there, crafty friends! It’s Leica writing on the Spellbinders Blog. Today, I want to share with you three cards I made using the new Carissa Wiley – It’s My Party collection. I absolutely adore this collection because I’m always in need of birthday cards to send to my family and friends. For my first card, I created a shaker card using the Giant Party Balloon.

To make a fun background for the shaker balloon, I hot foiled the Starburst Glimmer Hot Foil Plate in Pastel Mint. Then, I hot-foiled the Happy Birthday sentiment…

It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com, and I have a few projects to share with you today that feature products from the gorgeous new Country Road Collection by Annie Williams. Rustic Greeting Card For my first project, I created an A2-sized card featuring items from the Rustic Garden, Garden Builder, and Seasonal Décor Etched Die Sets. For both my large wagon wheel and barrel, I die-cut my lighter pieces from some Portobello Cardstock and lightly blended them with Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Inks to add some shading. I then cut the darker pieces from a piece of Timber Cardstock and adhered them all together. I die-cut…

Shaped Cards with Bibi’s Hummingbirds by Joan Bardee
Welcome! Joan Bardee is here today. Delighted to share 3 colorful, shaped, cards using Bibi’s Hummingbirds Collection, designed by the very talented Bibi Cameron. This collection is very different from what I (and probably you) own. If you are looking for unique and gorgeous, this is for you. The Hummingbird Card Creator die makes an approximately 5” x & 7” card in the shape of a hummingbird. I’m also sharing another card featuring another beautiful product – the Delicate Floral Hummingbirds, which also can make a large, shaped card. You don’t have to make shaped cards with these products, but it adds a wow factor. Making a Shaped Card If…
