    House Mouse Creative Day Collection with Vera Rhuhay

    March 31, 2025 / 3 Comments

    Hey there, friends! I’m Vera Rhuhay, and I’m thrilled to be here on the Spellbinders blog! Today, I want to share some fun inspiration using the House-Mouse Creative Day collection. These adorable designs featuring cute little mice are perfect for creating cards that will brighten someone’s day! Let’s get creative together! I started by die-cutting the Hemstitch Rectangles on Copic-friendly paper, then stamped each image onto the paper and colored them with Copic markers. I white heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it out manually with scissors. The first card I’m sharing uses a sweet scene from the Top Notch Birthday collection, making it ideal for celebrating someone’s special day! The next…

    Hello, it’s Carol Hintermeier here today.  I’m thrilled to be back on Spellbinders blog to share my notecard set that features those adorable mice in the House Mouse Sweet Moments Collection.  I love how each of these mice have names and their own little personality!

Keeping a similar design for each card makes it look like a set.  I think this would make a sweet gift to share with a friend or loved one!  Of course, I may just keep these for myself, haha! Each…

    Sealed For Christmas Card Making Inspiration with Leica Palma

    September 25, 2023 / No Comments

    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. The card panel…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Carol here today and I’m totally thrilled to be back today to share three ideas using the totally adorable House-Mouse Christmas collection! I’m not normally a “critter” stamp-loving person, but when I saw the first House-Mouse Collection here at Spellbinders, I was in love with these adorable mice. Did you know that they even have names?!!  Take a close look at the package images and you will see the names! For this first card, I used the Bringing Christmas to You stamp set. This cute little mouse’s name is Monica! First I stamped the adorable image with little Monica pulling the beautiful ornament through the snow…

    House-Mouse Christmas Card Ideas to Try!

    September 4, 2023 / No Comments

    Hey there, friends! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share three lovely Christmas cards with you, all featuring stamp sets from the adorable House-Mouse collection. This collection is just beautiful, and I’ve created coordinating cards using the same colors. I’m even thinking of giving this card set as a gift to a friend! For my first card, I stamped the Mistletoe Kiss Cling Rubber Stamp Set on a white cardstock panel and colored it with Copic markers. I used Crimson cardstock to make a border around the image and for the sentiment, which I heat embossed in white. To add a sweet touch, I included a bow in gold cardstock…

    Hello, dear friends! It’s Leica, and today I want to share three fun ways to use the Swirling Foliage Tree from the Glimmer for the Holidays collection. This hot foil plate creates a beautiful swirling foliage design that’s perfect for making stunning Christmas cards. Let’s dive in! For my first card, I cut up strips of colorful cardstock and glued them onto white A2-sized paper. Then, I hot-foiled the Swirling Foliage Tree in gorgeous gold foil and trimmed it down, adding a gold border around it. The result was absolutely stunning! To complete the look, I added some white foliage, red berries, and topped it off with a pink Merry…
