    October 19, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello everyone!  Rachel Alvarado here with a holiday scenic light-up card using a Pear Blossom Press One Light combined with the Woodland Scene Etched Dies.  I absolutely adore interactive cards, so I had a lot of fun creating this light-up card.  The One Lights are super easy to use, so I tried to keep my card basic so that the steps would be simple to follow if you have never made a card like this before.

    The Magic of Wax Seals

    August 18, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I am a HUGE fan of Spellbinders Wax Seals. I love the way they look on cards, and I find them so relaxing to create! So today, I am thrilled to share some cards I made with the new Holiday Magic Wax Seals. The new Holiday Magic Wax Seal Frames come in rectangular and oval shapes. They bring to mind beautiful Victorian-era frames. They look amazing when covered in DecoColor Gold paint pens. Of course, you can use ANY colors of wax, but I love the non-traditional pinks and mint greens for these cards! Just add one of the small Holiday Magic Rub…

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Let It Snow Collection by Simon Hurley. As soon as I saw those adorable penguins and pretty snowflakes, I couldn’t wait to create with these products. I went back to a favorite color palette of mine for these cards and I based it around the penguins but I also really love the contrast of the colors on the other two cards showcasing all the snowflakes. Can you guess which card I made first? Of course, it was the penguin card! I wouldn’t wait to dress up those penguins and I actually ended…

    August 24, 2024 / 4 Comments

    Hello, it’s Jean Manis here and I am excited to share three cards created with products in the Spellbinders All Seasons Scrapbooking Collection. The lowercase script font used in the sentiments has a timeless elegance and versatile appeal, making the sentiments perfect for any season and occasion. I have used three of the collection’s BetterPress sets and one of the die sets, along with other Spellbinders die sets, to create a fall, a Christmas, and an Easter card. On the fall card, seasonal flowers are paired with a BetterPress sentiment that says “These golden days,” evoking the warmth and beauty of autumn. Cover an A-2 size card base with a…

Before I begin, if you haven’t worked with Cosmic Shimmer Polish before it is kind of like a creamy paste that has tons of shimmer and shine.
