    Die D-Lites Inspiration | Clean & Simple Cards with Daniel West

    November 14, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Hey there, this is Daniel from Del & Artie. I live in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, with my wife and three kids. Making cards brightens my day and teaches me patience and kindness. Every once in a while I slip a funny card into the mix, too, just for laughs. Today is my birthday, so I have the pleasure of making myself a birthday card with Spellbinders’ November Die D-Lites! These dies range from an Asian elephant to Celtic triangles and I had a blast playing with them. Clean and simple (CAS) cards with lots of white space are my jam! Die D-Lites really play well with this style so…

    Hello friends! This is Nichol Spohr with a couple of animal birthday scene cards with the new Die D-Lites Etched Dies. I can’t get enough of the adorable critters from the latest Die D-Lites release. I am combining five of my favorite sets for these two birthday cards. I’ve used the Wild About You sentiment set for both cards. It can work with so many of your other dies as a great way to add sentiments. In addition to the Die D-Lites, I’m using cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey and even a couple of FSJ embossing folders. Let’s get started! The lion and tiger card feature two FSJ Embossing Folders…

    Hello everyone, this is Gemma from mygirllollipop.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today, showcasing the new Die D‐Lites collection. For all my cards today, I’ve also used some lovely cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey for my die cut pieces. Card 1: Tiger, Oh My! The Tiger, Oh My! D‐Lites set is the star of my first card today. This set comes with a great choice of accessories. I chose to dress my tiger in a top hat ‐ doesn’t he look smart!

    Hello everyone! My name is Anya Lunchenko, I am excited to be a guest designer on the Spellbinders blog! Holiday related projects are my favorite to create and today I wanted to share with you a treat bag I made using some of my favorite dies by Spellbinders. I used the Silhouette digital die cutting machine to cut the bag shape and a number of different Spellbinders dies to decorate it. After assembling the bag together, I made two dimensional Christmas trees and added them to the bag with pop dots. I used the Nuvo drops in white to add the snow effect to these trees.

    Hello Crafty Friends!  It’s Laurie Laurie Willison here.  I am so glad you are joining me today.  Today I wanted to share a variety of tags using the  Holiday D-lites Dies. They are the most adorable dies that create amazing dimension when embossed. Today I am using the Reindeer, Santa, Snowman and Christmas Tree D-lite dies.  I tend to make lots of tags for gifts at Christmas time and the simpler the better when it comes to mass production. To create these tags, I used the D-lites Santa and Reindeeer dies. The Santa tag was created using a basic tag die along with a Rectangle die to create an embossed…
