    January 7, 2025 / 5 Comments

    Joan Bardee here. I’m delighted to share the amazing and unique Jack of All Trades Collection. Designed by the talented Jaycee Gaspar, the theme of this collection is about playing cards.

As of the time I am writing this, Spellbinders is offering the entire collection in a discounted bundle. Please look at Jaycee’s samples with this collection. Truly breathtaking!

At first look, this collection may appear to be for scrapbooking enthusiasts but I’m here to show you how easily they can be used for card making.

    Incorporating Patterned Paper Into The Fair Winds Collection With Emily Leiphart

    June 13, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Fair Winds Collection by Dawn Woleslagle. This is such a fun coastal and nautical collection, perfect for summertime cards of all occasions. I wanted to create my cards with a non-traditional color palette and I was inspired by the colors from the Simple Stories Just Beachy 6×8” Paper Pad. Each card features the patterned paper in a different way — the border, a small selection of die cuts, and a centerpiece background. This first card features the Uncharted Waters Stencil, Guiding Light Dies, Set Sail Dies, and the Fair Winds Sentiments.…

    December 13, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! Today I share with you three cards I created featuring the super cute and fun House-Mouse Everyday Cling Rubber Stamps Collection! These mice are the cutest, aren’t they?? CHRISTMAS MAGIC The first card I realized features the Flying to See You Cling Rubber Stamp. I stamped the mouse on a black cardstock with the Distress Ink Picket Fence. I colored it with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and then added the details of the fur with a white fine-point gel pen. At last, I realized the highlights, the stars and stamped the sentiment at the bottom of my card. FROGGY THROAT For my…

    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…
