Step by Step Tutorial: Easy Card Making with Spellbinders Little Leaps Rub-Ons
Hi, friends! I’m Lauren Taylor Made, and I’m thrilled to be guest blogging today to share my excitement for the brand new Little Leaps rub-ons from Spellbinders!

Hello Spellbinders Fans! It’s Amy Tsuruta, and I’m so happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing these three cards featuring the Regal Reflections Collection. I did a bit of homework regarding the famous Staffordshire dog ceramic figures. They are from the early 17th century and started as gifts that could be purchased on the street from local artists. They were popular Victorian mantelpiece decorations inspired by Queen Victoria’s King Charles Spaniels. When these figures moved into canvas art, artists recreated their recognizable forms in still lifes and decorative paintings, reflecting their popularity as cherished household symbols, even though the originals were porcelain or earthenware rather than paintings.
