    Tips To Enhance Your Die Cuts From Colored Cardstock

    September 17, 2025 / 6 Comments

    Hi everyone, it’s Nora from @nonniscards here. I’m excited to Guest Design in Spellbinders Blog today, sharing three fun tags showcasing the new Say Cheese Classic Mouse Christmas Collection! Large tags are a great option for traditional Christmas cards; not only can you decorate your gift with the beautiful, handmade tag you’ve made, but the recipient can even hang the tag on their Christmas tree, where it will delight their whole holiday season! Below, I’m also sharing three fun tips on how to make your die cuts pop and how you can get varied looks while only using a couple of shades of colored cardstock. I just adore the mice…

    Step by Step: Country Barn Inspired Star Wreath Card

    July 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I adore the new Country Christmas Collection designed by Annie Williams for Spellbinders. I am sharing a tutorial today on how to create a Christmas card with three different supplies from this collection. Starting with the Barn Star Wreath Etched Dies, die cut a full star with the outline die out of two colors of cardstock. I chose Waterfall Cardstock and some silver foil cardstock. Then place the decorative dies for each of the star points on top of one of the die-cut stars and hold them in place with Spellbinders Best Ever Craft Tape. Run that star with all of its decorative…

    Country Christmas Collection Introduction with Annie Williams

    July 14, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends, this is Annie Williams, and I’m so excited to introduce my new collection with Spellbinders called Country Christmas.  I love the magic of the holiday season and have always wanted to design a Christmas collection.  Country Christmas combines some of my favorite rural scenes and décor pieces with rustic holiday charm.  And if you picked up some of the items from my first collection, Country Road, then you will find many of the products work great with this collection too! There are seven products in this collection – five die sets, a BetterPress plate & die set, and a 3D embossing folder.  Each product was carefully…

    Creating with Non-Traditional Colors Using the Holiday DIY Color Deck

    July 7, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of fun holiday cards made with non-traditional color schemes using the new Holiday DIY Color Deck Expansion Pack.  Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with the handful of colors I use on my holiday cards and the latest Color Deck cards gave me some really fun new looks to try! Floral Noel Card The Poinsettia Spray Die Set is one of my favorite holiday sets in my stash, but I have already pieced it together using a few color combinations and needed something new to try with it.  Here…
