    Step by Step Tutorial: Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card

    September 7, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams, and I’m thrilled to create this pretty autumn birthday card step-by-step with you today using the new Texture & Foliage Collection by Suzanne Hue. The beautiful sentiments and versatile embossing folders in this collection are the perfect addition to some of Suzanne’s previously released wreath dies.  Here I’m creating an easy wreath card made for a loved one’s autumn birthday. Apply Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide Ink to the front flap of the Linen 3D Embossing Folder using a brayer (this helps ensure even ink coverage). Trim a piece of Fawn Cardstock to 4” x 5.25”.

    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…
