    Gorgeous Make-up Set Cards

    April 14, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again! I believe that the Gorgeous You Collection and Mini Wax Seals Collection will be the perfect choice for Mother’s Day or birthday cards for women who enjoy makeup. I just loved creating each card using the collection because I love to have makeup items for me. I made three cards featuring the Gorgeous You mini wax seals Collection and the Gorgeous You Collection. 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…

    Bold Minimalism with Justine’s Farm Collection

    February 19, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here. Today I’m using the fun and unique (check out the sentiments!!) Justine’s Farm Collection to explore a design trend called Bold Minimalism. Before we discuss Bold Minimalism, let’s review the Collection. It includes 5 sets of BetterPress LetterPress plates and dies that have farm animal themes – a farmscape, cow, sheep, rooster/hen, and pig. These sketched animals lend themselves beautifully to water coloring or using alcohol markers or colored pencils. But coloring is not my thing, and since I’ve been interested in exploring Bold Minimalism, I decided to experiment. Could I use sketched earthy images in a bold, minimalistic way? Let’s see! What is Bold…

    Fun Ways to Use Patterned Paper in Your Cardmaking Projects

    March 31, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of easy and fun ways to use patterned paper in your cardmaking projects.  Patterned papers can be a little intimidating to some due to busy patterns or bright colors, but I hope these techniques can help to show how easily they can add texture and color to an otherwise plain card. Pretty Floral Hello Card I love buffalo plaid, but it can be a very bold look and draw too much attention away from your focal point sometimes.  Here I toned this blue plaid pattern down a bit by splitting…

    January 28, 2024 / 8 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! My name is Allison Davis and I am a scrapbooker and sketch artist for my family’s scrapbook store located in Springfield, MO, and also the sketch artist for Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine. I am absolutely thrilled to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today sharing a mini-album I created using the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Love Story collection along with some Spellbinders cutting dies. One of the things I have always loved and appreciated about Simple Stories collections is the amount of cut-apart papers they include. That was what inspired the design of this album. I used a mix of cut-apart pieces, tags, pockets, and…

    Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be here today to share three cards featuring the Hello Butterfly Stamp Set from the Stampendous Hello Spring Collection. All of the products in this collection are beautiful. I enjoyed pairing the Quick Card Backgrounds up with these stamps as well. I sometimes struggle when I don’t have dies for my stamps so, for these cards, I tried to find other ways to add interest and dimension without coordinating dies. Die cut the Essential Four Petal Labels dies from white cardstock and slightly larger from Joy of Spring Quick Card Backgrounds. Stamp two butterflies and the sentiment…

    Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and if you want to see what else I’m up to, you can find me on Instagram as Dear Paperlicious. Today I’m featuring 3 fun and colorful cards using products in the Showered with Love Collection designed by the super-talented Vicky Papaioannou. The design of each card was inspired by the sentiments in the I’ve Got You Covered Clear Stamp and Die set, which is part of this collection. The collection is full of clever open and closed umbrellas, weather symbols, flowers, a duck, etc. – all evoking spring. I took my cue from that season and used softer sherbet colors for each of…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am so happy to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the Floral Reflection collection. I love all the florals in the collection, and especially the heart dies! For my first card, I started with the Floral Reflection dies, along with the Essential Floral Reflection die. First, I die-cut all the dies in the Floral Reflection die set on white cardstock for the flower pieces, and craft cardstock for the larger foliage piece. I die-cut everything twice since you need 2 of the floral pieces to cover the shaped…
