    Colorful Rare Bloom Watercolor Cards by Deborah Hellman

    June 5, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! My name is Deborah Hellman, and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for Spellbinders this month. Today, I am sharing with you some colorful, Spring watercolor cards that I created using the newest House-Mouse Collection: Rare Bloom. I love House-Mouse and watercoloring, so for me it is a perfect pairing. Another option, these beautiful stamped images could easily be colored with colored pencils or markers to suit your personal preferences. In addition to being adorable, all of the House-Mouse stamps have great details and shading which is a big plus. I stamped all of the images on a 4¼ x 5½ inch piece of Spellbinders’…

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Fair Winds Collection by Dawn Woleslagle. This is such a fun coastal and nautical collection, perfect for summertime cards of all occasions. I wanted to create my cards with a non-traditional color palette and I was inspired by the colors from the Simple Stories Just Beachy 6×8” Paper Pad. Each card features the patterned paper in a different way — the border, a small selection of die cuts, and a centerpiece background. This first card features the Uncharted Waters Stencil, Guiding Light Dies, Set Sail Dies, and the Fair Winds Sentiments.…

    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…

    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.

Trust me, they’re super fun to create! Don’t worry if you feel a bit overwhelmed by all the different parts in this collection. Putting them together is actually quite easy. The packaging even includes a picture of the final product, which makes it really simple to follow along. To start, I picked out a bunch of colors for the cardstock: Lilac Blossom, Peridot, Persimmon, and Sunkissed. I also used Alabaster and Onyx cardstocks. To save time and make things easier,…
