    Clean & Simple Pastel Floral Cards

    May 20, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m excited to be here to share three ways to use Lisa Horton’s new Wildflowers Collection with you. This is such a pretty collection that includes a couple of BetterPress Plates, a BetterPress Registration Press Plate Set, a couple of floral etched die sets and a set of nesting ovals which feature stitching and scallops. There are also two clear stamp/die sets which have everyday sentiments to suit many occasions. So, let’s get started with my three cards for today.

    Limited Supplies/Unlimited Fun with Cherry Blossoms BetterPress Plates

    May 14, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing a step-by-step tutorial to make a pretty card using a limited number of products. The card uses the Cherry Blossoms BetterPress plates from the Spring in Kyoto Alex Syberia Designs Collection. This gorgeous collection includes a variety of unique products that take you to the land of cherry blossoms and other Japanese-inspired images. I often get overwhelmed when I walk into my craft room. New and old products beckon, and there is so much inspiration online that I get caught up in all the choices. Sometimes, intentionally using just a few supplies helps me focus. For this card, my plan was to use: 1.…

    April 22, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I am so honored to share 3 cards with the gorgeous (referring to both Yana and the collection!) Yana’s Daisies Collection. Yana’s Daisies consists of two BetterPress LetterPress plates and their coordinating stencils, a set of dies that form 3 daisies, a set of sentiment BetterPress LetterPress plates and coordinating dies, and a unique embossing folder that is so cool. It’s a big collection with something for everyone. Like most crafters, I like putting my own spin on products. Today, I went bold and bright and a little modern.

    Add the Perfect Finishing Touch With Mini Wax Seals

    April 16, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Mini Wax Seals collection. As the name suggests, these wax seals are much smaller in size that the previous ones and are oh-so cute! I think they are the perfect finishing touch for cards, tags, boxes and more! JUST A NOTE My first card uses two of the new Mini Wax Seals. I thought they would look great on mini envelopes. They are a little on the large size for the envelopes I used, but I still think they look great! To make this card: Die cut the envelope from Love Note…

    Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Mini Wax Seals. There are four 3D wax seals in the collection. I’ve paired these cards up with the beautiful new Gorgeous You Collection to make two-color wax seals. To create the two-color wax seal, create the wax seal with the color you wish to use for the image. Next, cut the image with small sharp scissors. Press the image back into the wax seal stamp with some pressure. Melt and pour the wax for the background and press the stamp like normal. Emboss an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Cross My Heart 3D Embossing Folder. Blend…

This is such a fun addition to the collection! You can see the other cards I made with this collection here. The joker can be assembled in a few different ways. On some of the parts (torso and legs) there are indentation lines, so that it’s easy to line them up. I decided to have the joker throwing the cards up in the air, so I covered up some of those lines (where the arms would be if…

    Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Gorgeous You Collection. This collection includes four dies sets, press plate sentiments and a 3D embossing folder. This collection made me want to make mostly monochromatic cards. They were perfect to pair with the new ColorWheel Cardstock. I went through the new ColorWheel Cardstock and picked three or four shades of pink, teal, and purple. I used less than one sheet for these three cards plus I made several other cards. Emboss an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Cross My Heart 3D Embossing Folder. Blend on pink ink from the bottom fading to white. Adhere to an…
