    Gorgeous Make-up Set Cards

    April 14, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again! I believe that the Gorgeous You Collection and Mini Wax Seals Collection will be the perfect choice for Mother’s Day or birthday cards for women who enjoy makeup. I just loved creating each card using the collection because I love to have makeup items for me. I made three cards featuring the Gorgeous You mini wax seals Collection and the Gorgeous You Collection. If you’d like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel where I regularly post…

    September 28, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hi, crafty friends! I’m Nicki Baxley  bringing you tons of ways to use pocket cards! They are so versatile and make great “gift” holders for any occasion. Happy Birthday Gift Card Holder I created this card to coordinate with the colors of the Starbucks gift card. To start, I ink blending the Build a Plaid stencil in orange, pink and green on the pocket front. Next, I used the Pinking Edge Dies to create the removable piece. I added some temporary adhesive to the gift card to make sure is pulls out with the rest of the pocket insert. Merry Christmas Money Holder I used the Build a Plaid Stencil…

    September 18, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Sealed 3D Christmas Collection. This beautiful collection features two press plates, a box die, 3 wax seal stamps and lots of beautiful wax beads! I thought for my blog post today that I would focus on creating pretty packaging. I love gift-giving and making things look pretty, so for today, I have some boxes, tags, and envelopes to share with you. RED & GOLD CHRISTMAS For my first project, I created a box using the new Ribbon Box Etched Dies. Not only is this box beautiful, but it is also really easy…

    Elegant Christmas Cards using the Season of Wonder Collection

    September 12, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Stampendous Season of Wonder Collection. This beautiful collection includes two die sets and two stamp sets. This is the perfect opportunity to create a shaped card and make an elegant wreath card. I enjoy creating ink-blended backgrounds but if I’m creating one or two why not create a few extras for other card ideas. I made two Halloween card backgrounds at the same time as these three backgrounds using some of the same inks. Ink blend a piece of white cardstock with light and dark teal colors then splatter with similar metallic ink and white acrylic paint. Set aside…

    Non-Traditional Holiday Cards with the Stitched Bright Collection

    August 19, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing some fun holiday cards made with the Stitched Bright collection. It’s a fun collection of dies – Stitched Holiday Tree, Stitched String Lights, and Stitched Starfilled Background. I didn’t embroider with these dies, but that’s the beauty of stitching dies – you can use them with or without embroidery thread. These cards are boldly non-traditional, both in style and color. That works for me, but if you want to tone them down, substitute softer colors. Scalloped Tree First up is the Stitched Tree set of dies, with the fun scallop border. Die cut just the backer dies for the tree in all 3 sizes…

    Happy Haunting

    August 16, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. I love making cute spooky cards and they don’t have to be just for Halloween. To create the dots with wax beads simply drop a small amount onto the silicone mat. It’s a great way to use up any extra melted wax on the spoon! Blend purple ink on a piece of Porcelain BetterPress A2 Card then impress with Spider Web Background Press Plate with the same ink. Adhere to an A2 card base. Die cut the image from Woof-or-Treat Etched Dies and assemble with liquid glue. Adhere to the card with foam tape. Create sentiment…
