    Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again!

    Magic and Happiness All Around

    September 14, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi, Friends! I am Andrea Lake and I love recording memories in creative ways. I enjoy making colorful mini albums and scrapbook layouts adding a lot of texture and dimension. I also love flowers and I believe everything is better when you add a little bit of pixie dust. I had the best time working with some of the metal dies from the Storytelling collection by Spellbinders. One of my favorite products from Spellbinders are their stitching dies. They are great for adding dimension and texture to any project. I played with the Stitched Petal Bloom Die to create the focal embellishment of my page. I selected neutral patterned papers…

    Hello Everyone! Jenn Shurkus here and I’m wicked excited to be on the Spellbinders blog as a guest designer. Today I’m sharing some creative cards using this fun collection called House Mouse Summer Fun. I have been cardmaking for a long time, and House Mouse are some of the first wood-mounted stamps I owned. I just love that we can get them in red rubber cling form from Spellbinders now. Hopefully, these cards will give you some inspiration of some simple things you can do to jazz up your one-layer cards! Each of these cards are one-layer cards, the only thing popped up off of them is the sentiment strips. I like…

    Metamorphosis: Rainbow Colored Fun

    February 21, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and today I’m featuring 3 cards using the gorgeous Metamorphosis Collection designed by Simon Hurley. (How does Simon create so many amazing products, videos, and samples??) This collection consists of 4 sets of dies: In Bloom, Stained Glass Window, Everyday Sentiments, and Brilliant Butterflies. I was particularly smitten with the arch shape in Stained Glass Window and the collection put me in the mood for rainbow colors, so get ready for rainbows. The Stained Glass Window base die is perfect to make an arched-shaped card, so I did. Die cut a fantasy rainbow-colored bouquet (with gold accents) using the In Bloom dies. Love how…

    February 15, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Welcome! Joan Bardee is here today. I’m so happy to share 3 completely different ways to use the beautiful Stitched Fan Cardfront Etched Dies. I’m also going to share some tips for using stitching dies for those of you with little to no experience with them (that’s me!). Warning: it’s addictive. All the Dies This card uses all 5 Stitched Fan Cardfront dies – they cover an A2 card perfectly. Die cut in blue cardstock and stitched each of them with blue embroidery floss. I like the tone on tone for this card. Hot foiled “thank you” from Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die using opaque white…
