Outside the Cart with the Add to Cart Too Collection
Hello fellow crafters. It’s Jean sharing three cards created with the Add to Cart Too Collection by Becky Roberts at Spellbinders. This collection, consisting of die and stamp sets, can be used to craft for a variety of occasions and works with the previously released Add to Cart Collection. My cards focus on the incredible variety of objects included in the sets. Rather than place the objects in the shopping cart, I created cards outside the carts. Let’s take a look. Outside the Cart – Awkward Flamingos Easily add bling and dimension to a card with glittered foam adhesive. Stamp Around the Garden sentiment in black on light-teal cardstock panel…

May 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month Kit – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

Inspiration with Susan’s Tropical Getaway by Andrea Shell
Hello! It’s Andrea Shell with you, and I’m delighted to be back guest-designing on the Spellbinders blog. While I know that many of us are in the throes of holiday projects, I’m sharing two cards featuring Susan’s Tropical Getaway Dies. Think of this as a mini vacay! My first card uses the gorgeous Hibiscus Dies from the Tropical Getaway Collection. Don’t those flowers look so realistic?! That look is easy to achieve when you use Susan’s Specialty Cardstock and her Ultimate Took Kit and follow her methods for coloring and shaping the flowers (For tutorials visit the Spellbinders YouTube channel). I did that for both of my projects. To color…

Some of these die sets are designed to work with the Open House Collection but I wanted to show that you can use them all on their own too! Spooky Greetings/Witch Card I love using green, orange and purple for Halloween projects. I had some Photo Play papers that were perfect for these projects.

Fall Traditions Collection Inspiration with Andrea Shell
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…

To cut the flock details, I first adhered the flock to white cardstock and then die-cut it with the Shopping Spree Dies. For the gifts I used the Christmas Wishes Paper from the November…
