    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…

    Fall Traditions Collection – Thank You Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    September 2, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Fall Traditions Collection from Spellbinders.  The beautiful fall blooms and leaves, cute turkey, and pretty sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cozy cards perfect for sending your Thanksgiving or autumn thank yous. Thankful Leaves Card My favorite part of this collection is the variety of autumn leaves, flowers, and acorns it offers.  I combined large and small blooms together in warm colors on this simple and bright thank you card. Trim a piece of Alabaster Cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”. Die cut…

    Fall Traditions Collection Inspiration with Andrea Shell

    August 30, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello! It’s Andrea Shell (www.blissfullyscrappy.net) with you today, and I am delighted to be guesting for Spellbinders! I am so ready for fall and had a lovely time creating with the gorgeous Fall Traditions Collection whilst dreaming of cooler temps and warmer colors. The Fall Traditions Collection pairs beautifully with the Open House Collection released in July, so for my first card I’ve also used the Open House Door Base and Door Side Panel Die Sets. I backed the windows of the door and side panels with acetate and gray cardstock. For my background I trimmed white cardstock to a 5 1/2″ square and scored it to give the impression…

    Open House Collection Inspiration with Sheri Holt

    August 19, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hello! It’s Sheri here again from My Sheri Cards and I am so happy to be sharing 3 different versions I created using the Open House Door and add-on dies in the Open House Collection. All of these cards measure 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” but they are great on any size card. I usually work with patterned papers on my cards but I kept it simple this time. White Door Card Although the Open House Door Base die can be used all on its own, the add-on dies are must-haves! This card features the Open House Door Base in white in addition to the Open House Door Side Panels. The door…
