    Numbers Count! | 3 Ways to Personalize Cards With Numbers

    November 14, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three cards using the Color Mix Celebrations Collection. This collection can be used in so many different ways! It can be combined with the Florals Through the Year Collection to add numbers to calendar pages or the numbers can be used to create personalized cards, like I am creating today (plus lots more!). FORTY For my first card, I wanted to create a personalized number card for a 40th birthday. I love being able to create these types of cards for friends and family. You can really match the design to the…

    Sentiments for All Seasons

    August 23, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com.  I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing some new, gorgeous sentiment sets from the All Seasons Scrapbooking Collection. These sentiment sets will go perfectly with almost any other Spellbinders product that you own and can be used all year round. My first project is a 6.5” x 3.5” slimline card that showcases the new Four Seasons Etched Dies. I combined the “Autumn” die along with some previously released fall-themed die sets. For the large foliage, large pumpkin, acorn, and mushroom, I used the Autumn Wonder Etched Dies Set. I also added some tiny leaves and foliage from…

    Colorful Tunnel Scapes Projects

    June 20, 2024 / 7 Comments

    Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com.  I am thrilled to be able to share with you a few projects that I made using products from the new Tunnel Scapes Collection by Vicky Papaioannou.  This collection is absolutely gorgeous and is perfect for all year round. My first project is a 3D shadow box card that features both the Underwater Tunnel Etched Dies and the Underwater Marine Life Etched Dies.  All my images were die cut and the only stamping that I did was the sentiment on the top left corner of my box card. When folded, my card measures at 5 ¾” x 5 ½” and can fit…

    June 19, 2024 / 4 Comments

    Hello there crafters! Lisa Tilson is here with you today on the Spellbinders blog and as always, I am excited to be here! Today we are going to be taking a look at the super fun Tunnel Scapes Collection designed by Vicky Papaioannou. I have absolutely loved working with this fun, playful collection. I think the modern, quirky vibe of the three tunnel scape sets is so unique and the opportunities to play with color and design are endless. The collection consists of three sets of etched dies which allow you to create these flowing layered tunnels. You then have a plethora of different options to add to the tunnels,…

    Die Cutting Dioramas With Tunnel Scapes

    June 18, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Tunnel Scapes collection. This is such a fun collection that focuses on creating scenes with dimension, kind of like mini dioramas but more on the 2D side, rather than the 3D side. These cards can get pretty dimensional if adding foam tape in between all the tunnel layers, but they would still look great without the foam tape, or with less layers if you didn’t want them to be so bulky. I used thin foam tape for mine so that I still got the dimension but with slightly less bulk. UNDERWATER TURTLE…

    Introducing the “Tunnel Scapes” Collection by Vicky Papaioannou

    June 17, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi, it’s Vicky here and I am so excited to introduce to you my new Spellbinders collection “Tunnel Scapes”. The collection includes 6 dies and a stamp set that can be combined or used separately. It was inspired by my love for dimension and layering. The basic idea is that you get 3 different ways to your tunnels! So tunnels that look like clouds, underwater or slices and then depending on the set you use you can decorate your tunnels in various ways. For a detailed introduction and inspiration, watch the full video below: Tunnel Clouds Die Set The Tunnel Clouds die set includes three cloud tunnel dies that can…
