    Handmade Cards with the Cardmaker II Collection with Hussena

    December 7, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works, and I’m so thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today using the new Cardmaker II Stamp Collection. The beautifully illustrated images in this collection inspired me to create three easy and fun cards for a variety of occasions. My first project features the Love Never Fails Stamp Set and the New Start Stamp Set. I fell in love with the floral images in the Love Never Fails Stamp Set and had to use them right away for my Slimline Card. This set comprises of 20 clear photopolymer stamps and one can create a wonderful bouquet of flowers to a field of blooms using it. It’s very…

    Dimensional Doilies Inspiration | Easter Doilies with Jennifer Snyder

    April 15, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafty friends. I’m Jennifer Snyder, a papercrafter and creator of Scrap Escape Blog. I’d like to thank Spellbinders for providing this opportunity to showcase their newest addition to the Amazing Paper Grace family, the Dimensional Doily Collection by Becca Feeken. I’ve long been a fan of APG dies made famous for their delicate scroll-like designs. As a dimensional papercrafter, these dies are particularly fascinating because they add beautiful jaw dropping dimension to projects. Today I’m featuring three cards crafted with the Dimensional Doily collection. I made the first card and couldn’t put the dies down. Stop after one card? No way, impossible. The interlinking designs are so incredibly easy and super fun to use.…

    Faux Stained-Glass Holiday Cards by Christine Smith as seen in Simply Cards and Papercraft Issue 183

    November 7, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Today we have a special guest – Christine Smith (visit Christine’s Blog and Youtube channel) sharing her Stained-Glass Holiday Cards Masterclass published in the Simply Cards and Papercraft Issue 183 (you can purchase this issue HERE). The faux-stained glass look is such an easy technique to master, and it’s so versatile too! Simply cut a couple of the same die-cut, stack them together, add colour (by any means you can think of!) then fill the ‘wells’ created by the stacked dies with Nuvo crystal glaze. Leave this base piece to dry overnight, then simply add another die-cut over the top to give a neat and finished look. For a really…
