    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, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. I love creating Halloween cards and, much like my cards for past collections like Boo Dance Party, I wanted to spark inspiration with a fun, non-traditional color palette. The Happy Haunting Collection includes so many fabulous products and I chose to feature Fiona the Dancin’ Witch, Woof-or-Treat and Witchin’ Heels.

    It’s Raining Pugs and Cats

    July 18, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog. I love dogs, also cats, but dogs are my favorite, but when it comes to crafting I love them both equally and the new Bibi’s Cats and Pugs just hits right. I love the large-sized pug, card and bicycle and they are perfect for making shaped cards. Also, the dies that create smaller pugs and cats are also amazing and perfect to add one, or more to a card. There are so many amazing products in the Bibi’s Pugs and Cats collection so, I had to use all of the products to create my projects…
