Hello Crafters! Nancy Leppek here from Scrapper at Heart.com and I could not be more excited to be a guest here on the Spellbinder’s Blog today! I am sharing three different Love-inspired cards using the Interactive set called, Take Action Sentiments.

You Make Me Smile Gnome Matter What I don’t know about you, but I am such a gnome fan because you can tailor them to any Holiday and dress him/her for…

Game Day Collection – Sport Themed Card Ideas
Hi everyone – Alanna Moses here and I’m thrilled to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog using the new Game Day collection from Justine Dvorak. I am a huge sports fan, so this fun collection was right up my alley. YOU’RE THE BEST AROUND For my first card, I started with the Athletic Apparel die set. This die set is brilliant in that with just a few changes or additions, you can create jerseys for different sports or even a polo t-shirt.

Betterpress Halloween: Watercolor Backgrounds
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Betterpress Halloween collection. I made fun watercolor backgrounds playing with Distress inks and Distress Oxide inks. I love how they compliment the Betterpress plates.

First I wanted to add a base layer wash of color. I smooshed mini Distress ink cubes onto my glass mat and sprayed generously with water. Then,…
