    March 15, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello, crafty friends, I’m Adrienne Boese, better known as Alice Scraps Wonderland online, and I’m thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog for my first guest post!

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the July Embossing Folder of the Month Kit from Spellbinders. The simple, yet bold pattern of the Geometric Stripes Embossing Folder makes it easy to add some fun texture to cards for all kinds of occasions.

    Hello again this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection from Spellbinders. The bold designs in this collection can be used with so many interesting techniques and I was inspired to create three springtime cards for a variety of occasions. Leftover Leaf Design One of my favorite ways to use these designs is also the simplest. By taking the leftover foil from a background design, I can create an equally beautiful “negative” of that background for another card. Here I added a few spring blooms to a golden leaf background…

    Hi friends. Alanna here and I’m super excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog today. You can find me blogging at www.embellishcraftlove.com. I will be using stamps and dies from Susan’s Garden Favorites collection. I just love the dimensional looks you can get from all of Susan’s florals and these new dies are no exception.

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing holiday cards created with the Merry Stitchmas Collection at Spellbinders. As a cross stitcher, the stitching sets always catch my eye. While I created Christmas cards, the products I used can be used beyond the holidays for paper crafting throughout the year. Let’s take a look at how I used several of the die sets in the collection. Pair a glimmer-foiled sentiment with a stitched background for a classic and elegant Christmas card. Die-cut the Circular Stitch Background from Snowdrift Stitch the circles, half-circles, and quarter-circles with Red Ruby, Emerald Green, and Light Gold floss using a size 22 needle.
