    Punny Farmyard Trio

    February 21, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the On the Farm collection. This is such a fun collection that can be used for lots of different occasions. I love that each animal comes with a coordinating punny sentiment set! THANK EWE My first card uses the Counting Sheep Clear Stamp & Die Set, along with Perfect Touch Arches Etched Dies. These fun arch dies are great for using both the negative and positive of the die. For this card, I used the negative. To make this card: Die-cut sheep from Snowdrift, Fog, Onyx, and Pink Sand Cardstock. Assemble and adhere…

    Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog again. I spent a lot of my youth playing cards with friends and family. They were the days when social media didn’t exist, and we were “forced” to give each other undivided attention 😉 When I saw the Jack of All Trades Collection by Jacee Gaspar it brought a lot of fun memories from my childhood and had so much fun creating the cards I am sharing today. Jack of All Trades collection by Jaycee Gaspar is available on January 10th 2025. There are so many amazing products in the Jack of All Trades collection…

    The Amazing Jack of All Trades Collection (and a Nod to Best Ever Craft Tape)

    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. While each item in the collection can be used on its own, this is a collection where “having it all” makes sense as the products work beautifully together for both male and female-themed 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! Jack of All Trades Collection is available on January 10th While I was making these cards, I…

    Friendship Bracelet Nostalgia Featuring the Beads of Friendship Collection

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the super fun Beads of Friendship Collection inspired by Taylor Swift. I’m old enough that I remember making all kinds of jewelry to adorn my ears, wrists, and sneakers. I loved making bracelets and earrings for myself and all my friends. The embroidery floss bracelets obviously took a lot of time but were so worth it and I still have some of my bracelets from the late 80s and early 90s! I also go crazy for hand dies so when I saw this collection, I knew I had to have it. I…

    Crafty Lessons Learned with the Happy Hour Collection

    August 21, 2024 / 4 Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here. The fantastic Happy Hour Collection consists of 2 cocktail glasses and other unique items to use with or without the glasses. It’s clever and my favorite of everything Spellbinders has released so far this year. Today I’m sharing a brayered background, an explosion of color blocking, and a cheeky Halloween card. None of these contain new ideas, but I learned a few things along the way that I will share with you. I hope you enjoy the cards as much as I enjoyed making them.
