    Three Delightful Farm-Themed Cards

    February 22, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again! If you’d like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel where I regularly post video tutorials. I created three charming farm-themed cards featuring the On the Farm Collection. I adore all of the animals in the collection. Good night, Ewe First, I die-cut an arch using the Perfect Touch Arch die on white cardstock, blending blue tones with blending tools to create the night sky. I applied water-based dye ink and sprayed water over the blended arch…

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m so excited to be here today with this sweet little die cut scene card featuring dies from several of the Die D-Lites collection dies! I paired components from the Build A Panda, Lady Bug Garden, and Picket Fence sets to build the scene shown below. A simple stenciled background and stamped greeting all on a Fancy Edged Rectangle makes this a super happy design! The background was die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using a Fancy Edged Rectangles Die. The edges of the rectangle were masked off with Post It Tape and the background was inked and stenciled with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced…

    Hello everyone!! This is Brenda Noelke from My PaperCut Creations. I am happy to be here for my second guest post for Spellbinders!! I will be using the fabulous February Die D-Lites Release for all of my projects. You can find my first project here. Today, I have combined three sets for a spring-inspired card… I began by die-cutting the grass & fence with Die D-Lites Picket Fence Dies from white cardstock. I also die-cut the flowers with Die D-Lites Sketched Blooms 2 Dies, as well as one flower with the Die D-Lites Sketched Blooms Dies from Bristol smooth paper. I used a couple of gray Copic markers to add…

    February 18, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m thrilled to be guest designing for Spellbinders this month. Interactive cards are one of my favorite things. And pop up cards? They take the cake! The pop up cards I’ve mailed to friends and family are always a huge hit. Today I’m going to share how I created this prehistoric pop up scene with the new Die D-Lites Dinosaurs and lots and lots of other Spellbinders dies. Four panels and four inserts were die cut from brown cardstock using the Heart & Home Scalloped Pop Up Box dies. On the box panels, I stenciled and stamped the panels of the box to…

    Video Friday | Stenciled Scene Shaker Backgrounds

    February 2, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and thank you for joining me! Today I’m sharing how to layer stencils to create a seasonal background scene for a die cut image. I’m layering inking and stenciling with embossing paste and stencils and finishing it all with an interactive shaker element! Creating a scene card is one of my very favorite styles of card to create. The Deer dies are the perfect focal point of these love-themed shaker cards. The grass die from the Picket Fence set gives the deer something to stand in and the Pierced Rectangles make a great frame and shaker background. For the background of both cards, I…
