    Texture Backgrounds and Spanish Sentiments

    February 27, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello Friends! It’s Raquel here again. Today I’m excited to share some easy to make cards with lots of texture. I’ve also used the new Spanish sentiments Betterpress Plate & die set and the Spanish everyday sentiments etched dies, both of them from the International Sentiment collection. I was born in Spain so and I have to admit I was so happy when I knew these sentiments were released. I adore the font of both the Betterpress sentiments and the dies that come with a shadow die. For my first project I used the Fresh Picked Buttercups. I wanted to create a simple yet eye-catching design where the flowers and…

    Monster Birthday Collection and the Simple Stories Birthday

    March 30, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello, creative friends! I am Sarah Millerhouse, and I loved creating these layouts combining the beautiful Spellbinders Monster Birthday Collection and the Simple Stories Birthday Collection! For this grid design, I started by cutting nine 2 ¾ inch squares of patterned paper from the Simple Stories collection. I then cut nine 3-inch squares of solid cardstock in coordinating colors. I layered a patterned paper square on top of a solid cardstock color. I placed these on the layout where I wanted them to go and traced the placement lightly with a pencil. I then added mixed media to the background in coordinating colors with the cardstock color. I placed the…

    Monster Birthday Cards

    January 24, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I have a few cards to share with you showcasing the new Monster Birthday Collection. I absolutely love this collection! It’s versatile enough to make cards for individuals of all ages, and the designs are super adorable! For my first project, I created a mini slimline card measuring at 3.5” x 6.5”. I then used the Dancin’ Birthday Monster Etched Dies to die-cut three little monsters from a variety of colored card stock.  The fun part about this card is that the monsters’ legs swing back and forth when you tilt the card from side to side. For my card background, I…
