Happier Hour Collection With Brenda Noelke
Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m thrilled to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today! I’m sharing three cards featuring the Happier Hour Collection with you today! We are traveling to Mexico in December, so the Sip Sip Ole’ Etched Die Set really spoke to me! HERE’S TO GOOD TIMES AND GREAT FRIENDS I began by die-cutting the element for my focal point using the Sip Sip Ole’ Die Set. For the outline of the glass, I used matte silver cardstock from the Treasured Antique Silver cardstock pack, and for the salt, I used the glitter cardstock from the same pack. The colors of…

Hello Crafters! Nancy Leppek here from Scrapper at Heart.com. I am delighted to be back as a guest on the Spellbinder’s Blog.

Dashing Through the Snow For my first card, I am hitting the slopes and using all of the items in this collection. That is me, at the base of the card, more than likely, wiping out in the trees!

How to Create Light Up Cards in an Easy Way
Hello there, Michelle Short here, and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today, sharing two cards using the Pear Blossom Press One Light- 2 Pack. These lights make adding fun light-up elements to your cards easy. No circuits involved! The first thing to know when using these lights is that you do need to do a little forward planning for your card design. Since the light and switch are on the same piece, you need to work out where both will be placed on your card. MERRY + BRIGHT STAR I started off by die cutting the star (on my card panel) that I want lit…
