    January 8, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! I am Heejung Hunsberger, excited to be a guest designer again this month. If you want to know me better, visit my blog or Instagram. I also have a YouTube channel where I post a lot of video tutorials.

    Open the Door to Love – Two Takes with Open House Valentines

    January 3, 2022 / 4 Comments

    Hello fellow crafters. It’s Jean sharing two Valentines created with the Open House Valentines die set, part of the Love You More Collection. This die set expands the Open House Collection to include another holiday. Let’s look at how I decorated two doors for Valentine’s Day. For the first card, I started by choosing black foil cardstock for the door as a way for the red elements to pop. Create A-2 card base with patterned paper (example shows vellum added to paper to tone down the pattern). Add 5/8-inch strip of gray cardstock to base of card front. Die-cut door with the Open House Door Base set and side lights…

    March 23, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing three cards created with the Spellbinders Embossing Folders Collection, which features four versatile and timeless patterns. Dry-embossing is a terrific and easy way to add textural interest to your papercrafting creation. Additionally, the embossing folder’s pattern can reinforce the card’s theme. Let’s take a look! Combine two dry-embossed patterns: This wedding card combines a background, dry-embossed with the Scallops folder, and an oval, dry-embossed with the Heart and Soul folder to showcase the wedding dress. Dry-emboss A2-size gray cardstock panel with Scallops embossing folder. Cut large oval from light coral cardstock with Essential Ovals set using outline and detail dies. Cut large oval…

    Hi crafty friends! Lea Lawson here today to share a card set featuring the new products from the Celestial Zodiacs collection. There is such a fun collection, with fantastic stamps, stencils, Glimmer hot foil plates and even an embossing folder. Let’s take a look at how I created these cards! For my first card I embossed a panel of navy blue cardstock with the Stargazer embossing folder. Next I foiled the constellations from the Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn foiling sets in Aura colored foil. I stamped & heat embossed the sentiment from Starstruck Sentiments in white, then splattered the entire panel with white acrylic ink. Once the ink was…
