    Felt Stitch & Create Collection with Larissa Heskett

    November 20, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello, Crafty Friends. Larissa is here today to share some Inspiration using the Felt Stitch & Create Collection by Nichol Spohr. SWOON! This Collection is amazing and I’m in love with all of the different images to choose from, especially the Candy Cane and the Gingerbread Boy & Girl. There are so many ways that you can use these sets to create cards and more. If you’ve never tried stitching dies and aren’t sure they’re for you that’s okay, they can also be used without Stitching. Let’s get started. I started by die-cutting the pieces for the Candy Cane using the Felt Candy Cane Etched Dies from some of the…

    Christmas Cards with Simon Hurley Timeless Trees Collection

    November 6, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Timeless Trees Collection. I immediately fell in love with this collection at first sight!  My first card showcases the new Classic Christmas Tree Die Set combined with the gorgeous Branches 3D Embossing Folder. To assemble my tree, I first die-cut all my pieces from a variety of colored card stock.  I used two shades of green card stock for my tree, making sure to use the darker green for my background piece. To add some shading, I lightly blended…

    Vintage Postal Christmas Cards

    August 27, 2024 / 5 Comments

    Hi everyone!  So happy to welcome you to a new post here on the Spellbinders blog.  I’m Pam Sparks, cardmaker, blogger and instagram creator.  Today I’m sharing three cards I made with the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. My first card uses images from the Sketched Santas and Sketched Christmas stamp and die sets. I had fun stamping and coloring on kraft color cardstock with color pencils.  I kept it pretty simple…inking, some die cutting and layering for A2 size cards. My second card I had the idea to go ‘postal’ and make a faux postcard design using the Sketched Snowmen stamp and die sets. I stamped and heat-embossed two…

    Hi, friends! I’m Lauren Taylor Made and I’m so excited to be here on the Spellbinders Blog to share with you a few cute critter cards with the new Bibi’s Cats and Pugs Collection! When I saw the Big Cat Etched Die Set, I just knew it would make the perfect black cat and I thought it would be fun to give it a Halloween feel.
