    Three Sweet Birthday Cake Cards

    January 18, 2025 / No Comments

    Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again! 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 video tutorials. I created three birthday cards featuring the Bougie Birthday Collection, using glitter paper and brushed card stock. Macaron Chocolate Cover Cake Card First, I embossed the Born to Sparkle 3D Embossing Folder from the Bougie Birthday Collection onto the rose gold brushed cardstock. To create the cake, I die-cut the Timber and Latte colored cardstock with the Ganache Gâteau Die. I die-cut the bottom…

    November 11, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hello! It’s Andrea Shell with you, and I’m delighted to be back guest-designing on the Spellbinders blog. While I know that many of us are in the throes of holiday projects, I’m sharing two cards featuring Susan’s Tropical Getaway Dies. Think of this as a mini vacay! My first card uses the gorgeous Hibiscus Dies from the Tropical Getaway Collection. Don’t those flowers look so realistic?! That look is easy to achieve when you use Susan’s Specialty Cardstock and her Ultimate Took Kit and follow her methods for coloring and shaping the flowers (For tutorials visit the Spellbinders YouTube channel). I did that for both of my projects. To color…

    Hello, crafty friends!  It’s Andrea from Blissfully Scrappy with you to share two cards I created featuring the adorable Delightful Darlings Collection illustrated by Mayline Jung.  These girls are so cute and fun to color, and you can easily make them look like any little girl you know by changing your color choices.  What little (or big!) girl wouldn’t love a card with an image that looks like her?! Darling Hello First up is this cutie from the Darling Hello stamp set. Isn’t she so sweet and perky?! I stamped her and the butterflies from the set, colored them with Copics, and fussy-cut them.

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Simply Perfect Collection.  The effortless backgrounds, beautiful florals, and versatile sentiments inspired me to create three bright and cheery springtime cards for a variety of occasions.

    Hi crafty friends! Lea Lawson here today to share a card set featuring the new products from the Simply Perfect collection. This is such a fun collection of amazing dies that I would consider essential, and an embossing folder. Let’s take a look at how I created these cards! Rainbow Thank You Card For my first card I started by die cutting the Simply Perfect Layered Blooms from cardstocks in rainbow colors. You won’t use all of the diecut pieces, but I like to have all the extras on hand for future cardmaking. Next I die cut a panel from white cardstock using the largest Essentials Rectangles, then started to…
