    January 19, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Looking to add some luxury and flair to your birthday cards? Jean Manis here sharing three designs featuring the Bougie Birthday Collection by Nina Boettcher for Spellbinders. The collection lets you channel all the fun of designing a show-stopping cake, minus the mess and measuring cups. In this post, I’ll take the collection’s cake die and give it three different treatments. Let’s celebrate in bougie style, one card at a time!

    January 16, 2025 / No Comments

    Hi! My name is Nina and I’m so excited to share my Bougie Birthday Collection with you! Living in a house with 5 boys is so much fun, but I am definitely the only one who likes glitter, sparkles and all the pretty things. Every time my girlfriends and I get together, it’s an excuse to be extra and celebrate in style. We love to exchange cards, bring our favorite things to share and of course eat fancy cake. This collection was inspired by the good times celebrating with my bougie besties. Ganache Gateaux Ganache Gateaux is a cake die set inspired by all the drippy cake videos on social…
