    Creating Bougie Cards with a Limited Color Palette

    January 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! I’m Adrienne Boese, better known as Alice Scraps Wonderland online. Today I’m sharing three card ideas using the Bougie Birthday collection designed by Nina Boettcher.

I’ll also be sharing these in three different card sizes: A2, A7 and a gift card holder, so no matter what size you love to create in, there will be an idea for you! Bougie Cake with Macarons Card This A7 card makes a…

    Perfect BetterPress Sentiments for Every Season

    August 24, 2024 / 4 Comments

    Hello, it’s Jean Manis here and I am excited to share three cards created with products in the Spellbinders All Seasons Scrapbooking Collection. The lowercase script font used in the sentiments has a timeless elegance and versatile appeal, making the sentiments perfect for any season and occasion. I have used three of the collection’s BetterPress sets and one of the die sets, along with other Spellbinders die sets, to create a fall, a Christmas, and an Easter card. On the fall card, seasonal flowers are paired with a BetterPress sentiment that says “These golden days,” evoking the warmth and beauty of autumn. Cover an A-2 size card base with a…

    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…
