    From Paper to Patent Leather: Crafting a Textured Designer Purse

    April 21, 2026 / 2 Comments

    Hi, crafty friends, it’s Heejung Hunsberger here, and I am incredibly honored to be featured as a Guest Designer on the Spellbinders blog today. April brings us the chic and highly anticipated “We All Have Baggage” Collection, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the star of the show: the Designer Purse Etched Dies. My goal for today’s project is to show you how a few thoughtful techniques – like 3D embossing and precise layering—can transform simple cardstock into a high-end, miniature masterpiece.

    Hello, Crafty Friends, I’m Heejung Hunsberger, and I am honored to return as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month.

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the super fun Beads of Friendship Collection inspired by Taylor Swift. I’m old enough that I remember making all kinds of jewelry to adorn my ears, wrists, and sneakers. I loved making bracelets and earrings for myself and all my friends. The embroidery floss bracelets obviously took a lot of time but were so worth it and I still have some of my bracelets from the late 80s and early 90s! I also go crazy for hand dies so when I saw this collection, I knew I had to have it. I…

    Three Ways to Use the Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula

    October 20, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the stunning Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula. I always get excited when Yana releases a new collection and I knew this was going to be another must-have. I don’t know a lot about plants but I do love learning about flowers every time there’s a new collection. For instance, I didn’t know that Amaryllis came in so many different colors! That, of course, made it easy for me to select a color palette for these cards. I had so much fun creating with all the products in this collection and even…
