    Mini Slimnline Trio Featuring Copperplate Holiday Sentiments

    July 23, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three cards using the Copperplate Holiday Sentiments Collection by Paul Antonio. These beautiful script sentiments can be used in lots of different ways, and I love that they are large, so take center stage on the cards! These are Press Plates but can be foiled too, as you will see from my cards. I decided to make mini slimline cards today (3.5” x 6”) as I felt the sentiments fitted well with that design, but they work perfectly for all shapes and sizes of cards too! MERRY CHRISTMAS For my first card,…

    House Mouse Summer Fun Card Ideas

    Hello and welcome back to the Spellbinders blog. My name is Joy Wilson I and hope to inspire you to pull out your favorite markers and the new House Mouse red rubber cling stamps that have been introduced this month from the Summer Fun Collection. This collection is so enjoyable because it encompasses our favorite summer pastimes that will take you down memory lane. The Coloring What I personally love about coloring House Mouse stamps is that the shading is built in for you, taking the guess work out of it. I have heard people say that sometimes they don’t know where to start with their coloring because light source,…

    Fun Ideas for Die Cutting With Patterned Paper Featuring Doodlebug

    April 7, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring Doodlebug’s Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints 12×12” Cardstock Paper. Spellbinders is now carrying the entire line of Doodlebug’s Rainbow Petite Prints and it was such a difficult choice because I love them all. Linen is always a must-have for me because it’s so subtle and I love that I can easily stamp on it. Gingham is another fun and versatile choice. After choosing the color palette for my cards and making sure that I had both the Doodlebug prints and coordinating solid cardstock, I went to work on my designs. Spellbinders has so…

    Hello there, my crafty friends! Leica here, excited to share three card ideas using the Sealed For Christmas collection. Two have that cozy Christmas feel, while the other one is perfect for celebrating someone’s birthday. You can totally use this collection for other special occasions, too! Let’s talk about the first card. I had so much fun with the Sealed Christmas Sprigs Etched Dies. The poinsettia and cabbage rose shapes are just lovely. I used colorful paper from Spellbinders – Dahlia, Fern, Peridot, Pink Sand, and Rainforest. The shiny part at the middle of the flowers is made from gold foam sheets, and they twinkle so nicely.

    Hello crafty friends. This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook and I’m very excited to be here sharing a trio of cards featuring the fantastic Christmas release from the Spellbinders House Mouse Collection. These mice stole my heart some years ago when I was first becoming a cardmaker and it thrills me to have them back to create with again. To begin my creations today, I simply cut three panels of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and stamped the main image on each one. Then I sat down to relax and watercolor each one at leisure. I love coloring these images. They’re forgiving for novices and relaxing for anyone! Once the panels were…

    August 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a bunch of cards made with some of the beautiful Doodlebug products available in the Spellbinders shop. I paired many of the brightly colored cards and envelopes, sweet patterned papers, and fun washi tapes and embellishments with some of my favorite Spellbinders dies to create cards for many different kinds of occasions.
