    Tabbed Classics Collection With Brenda Noelke

    October 20, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m super excited to be joining you on the Spellbinders blog today! I’m sharing three cards today featuring the Tabbed Classics Collection! Designed by Wendy Vecchi! There are so many ways to use this collection!! I kept the color combination similar and focused on the different ways to combine the elements from the collection. HAPPY TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY I began by die-cutting the large floral bouquet and the largest single flower from white cardstock using the Thank You Bouquet 3D Floral & Stencil Bundle. I lined up the die-cuts in the embossing folder and ran them through my Platinum…

    How To Create A Guitar Shaped Card

    September 22, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the Majestic Guitar Etched Dies from Bibi’s Musical Notes Collection. This set creates a 7-inch-tall guitar that fits perfectly on an A7 card base. There is also an add-on die set for side panels, so that you can create a 3D guitar too, but for today, I thought it would be fun to create a guitar-shaped card! You can use any colour combination here, but purples are my favourite, so that’s what I went with! STEP 1 – DIE CUTTING THE GUITAR Die cut dies from Majestic Guitar: Cut pieces of cardstock slightly larger than the size of the…

    September 5, 2025 / 7 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the All About Christmas Collection by Lisa Horton. This wonderful collection features lots of basics, including shape dies and stencils, but what I fell in love with are the Little Birdies. They are so cute, and you can dress them up for winter, which is even cuter! This is what I have based my card around.

    August 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the City Holiday Collection by Yana Smakula. This is such a stunning collection! Today my focus is on the beautiful Christmas Cracker Etched Dies. I am not a huge fan of the traditional red, green, and gold colour combo for holiday cards. I’m not even a huge fan of gold to be honest with you, but where it shines? With dark blue! So, I went with a dark blue and gold colour combo for my card, throwing in a bit of green and red too!
