    Step By Step Tutorial: Boo! – How To Create A Clean And Simple Halloween Card

    September 12, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the Spooktacular Collection by Simon Hurley. I love the ghosts in the Boo Crew set! You can dress up the ghosts with hats, glasses, ties, etc.  – so cute! For today, I thought it would be fun to take the witch’s hat from the Bewitched set to add on to my ghost! STEP 1 – DIE-CUTTING THE GHOST + WITCH’S HAT Cut pieces of cardstock slightly larger than the size of the dies. Place the main body of the ghost from Boo Crew onto Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock and hold in place with Best Ever Craft Tape. Place bottom…

    September 11, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and spooky season is the next big celebration this year! The Boo Crew Etched Dies from Spellbinders Spooktacular Collection by Simon Hurley is a fun die set that creates the cutest ghosts for a card with lots of spooky fun! Let’s make a card using all three ghosts! Die-cut each ghost from white cardstock. There is a die that cuts out shapes to use behind the ghost’s face to fill in their eyes and mouths. There are die sets for arms and lots of accessories, too. Cut the shape for behind the ghost face from Raven Cardstock. There is a layer for the ghost…

    Felt Décor Collection Introduction with Sandi MacIver

    September 10, 2025 / 7 Comments

    Hi crafty friends! I’m Sandi MacIver, and I’m thrilled to introduce my very first collection with Spellbinders – the Felt Décor Collection! Inspired by my love of gnomes and felt stitching, this collection was born from a desire to create charming, seasonal décor for tiered trays, bread bowls, and cozy home displays. The star of the collection is Fergus the Gnome, a whimsical 3D standing figure rooted in folklore and fun. Designing Fergus was my first priority, followed closely by two coordinating embellishment die sets that allow you to dress him up for different holidays and seasons. Whether you’re a die-cutting enthusiast, felt crafter, or gnome lover, this new Spellbinders…

    Spooktacular Collection Introduction with Simon Hurley

    September 10, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there crafty friends, it’s Simon Hurley here – and I’m beyond excited to introduce you to my newest collection with Spellbinders called Spooktacular! If you know me, you know I love Halloween… but not the creepy, haunted, give-you-nightmares kind. No, thank you! I prefer my ghosts smiling, my bats blushing, and my pumpkins wearing party hats. Spooktacular was born out of my love for all things cute and festive during the fall and Halloween season. It brings together adorable dress-up ghosts, a black cat that doubles as a witch, and gothic damask designs that make your cards feel more treat than trick. I’ve always believed Halloween can be fun without being…
