    January 17, 2022 / 2 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works and I’m so honored to be guest posting today on the Spellbinders blog! using the new Precision Layering Basics Collection.

The dies in the Precision Layering Basics Collection are designed to cut perfectly spaced layers of 1/8-inch, and when combined with the B Sets, help you achieve a 1/16-inch border.

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works and I’m so honored to be guest posting today on the Spellbinders blog! I’m sharing a set of three cards using dies from the new Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken. This is a very unique collection that can be used to create a fun element of motion. It creates a beautiful card, and with one pull of a tab, the shutters open to reveal a sweet surprise sentiment, but the die layers can really be used on any kind of card!
