    March 11, 2026 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial with you using the new Tulips and Daffodils Press + Foil Plate from Yana’s Tulips Collection. I chose to press the plate, but it works beautifully foiled too!

    Step by Step Tutorial: Easy Card Making with Spellbinders Little Leaps Rub-Ons

    February 11, 2026 / 1 Comment

    Hi, friends! I’m Lauren Taylor Made, and I’m thrilled to be guest blogging today to share my excitement for the brand new Little Leaps rub-ons from Spellbinders! Rub-ons are one of my favorite ways to add detailed images and sentiments to a card with very little effort. They create a smooth, printed look without stamping, coloring, or dry time, and work beautifully on smooth surfaces like cardstock and patterned paper. To use them, you simply cut out the desired design, peel away the backing paper, place the image face down on your project, and rub firmly with the included popsicle stick until the artwork transfers.

    Deal Me Few Cards for Multiple Occasions

    January 8, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog again. I spent a lot of my youth playing cards with friends and family. They were the days when social media didn’t exist, and we were “forced” to give each other undivided attention 😉 When I saw the Jack of All Trades Collection by Jacee Gaspar it brought a lot of fun memories from my childhood and had so much fun creating the cards I am sharing today. Jack of All Trades collection by Jaycee Gaspar is available on January 10th 2025. There are so many amazing products in the Jack of All Trades collection…

    Setting the Stage with Your Card Backgrounds

    August 10, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! I’m Adrienne Boese, better known as Alice Scraps Wonderland online. The Birthday Bash collection from Simon Hurley has several fun embossing folders, so for this set of cards, I wanted to create three different backgrounds using the embossing folders. The goal with each of these embossed backgrounds is to set the stage for all of the other elements on the card. I’ll be taking you from the simplest to the most complex embossing folder uses, but along the way, I’ll be giving you my design tips to create balanced cards that impress!
