    Easy and Fun Handmade Advent Calendar with Kraft Pop & Lock Boxes

    November 30, 2023 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a fun handmade advent calendar made with Kraft Pop & Lock Boxes.  These versatile boxes are easy to decorate and the perfect size for a little gift…so why not customize and give twenty-five of them to someone who deserves a fun surprise every day until Christmas! I started by assembling all twenty-five boxes. Just as the name suggests, the boxes pop and lock into place very easily! Each box measures about 3” x 3” x 3”, plenty big enough for something like an average-sized ornament. I’m making this advent calendar for my…

    Merry Mug & Circle Delights Inspiration

    October 18, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! I’m so happy to be here today on the Spellbinders Blog! I want to share with you three Christmas cards I created featuring the new amazing Merry Mug & Circle Delights Collection! RUDOLPH The first card I realized is featuring the super fun Festive Ornaments and Santa’s Festive Circle Crew Etched Dies! I die-cut the circle base for my reindeer using kraft card stock, and then I blended the edges with some Distress Ink. After that, I die-cut the other parts and colored them with Copic Markers. At this point, I assembled the reindeer. I realized the base of my card by…

    Coloring With Olo Markers on X-press It Blending Card

    October 6, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Hi everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! Today I share with you a step-by-step tutorial of the card I realized featuring the wonderful Olo Markers! These alcohol markers are truly fantastic and have very bright colors! I’m in love with them! I chose to use the Olo Markers to create a Christmas card. I realized a coloring different from my usual, using an embossing folder instead of a stamp. When using brand new colors (every type of color) for the first time, I always recommend you to create a color chart. This is really important because the real colors are often very different from the colors on the packaging.…

    Santa’s Here Die 3 Ways!

    July 31, 2023 / No Comments

    Hi friends, Angela here. Welcome to Spellbinders blog. I had the pleasure to create a few cards with the fun new die Santa’s Here from Christmas Classic collection and I am very happy to share them with you! Before starting with the cards, let me tell you a story. Do you know that Santa Claus originates from the Dutch Sinterklaas? And do you know that he dresses also green? Sinterterklaas is the Dutch name of the fantastic character derivate from St. Nicholas, also called Sint Nicolaas. This explains the existence of several English variants of the name, like Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, St. Nick. His green suit color is a…

    Shaped Christmas Cards Made Easy!

    July 22, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and today I want to share three unique Christmas card ideas with you. These cards are different from the usual rectangular shape. Spellbinders has a great variety of shape dies, and the largest die from any set works perfectly as a card panel. Plus, they fit nicely inside an A2-sized envelope! For all three cards, I used the largest dies from each set. I cut the bigger shape out of colored cardstock and the smaller one out of white cardstock. To add some texture, I ran all the white panels through a die-cut machine using the Vintage Ornaments 3D Embossing Folder. As for…
