    Classic Car Card with Stenciled Desert Scene | Highway Horizons Tutorial

    June 14, 2026 / 2 Comments

    Hi, crafty friends! Lea Lawson here with you today, creating a card featuring the beautiful new Highway Horizons stencils from the Classic Road Legends collection by Mindy Eggen. I’m sharing my step-by-step process in easy-to-follow photos and instructions! To start, we are going to ink blend the stencils in numbered order. Align stencil 1 over top of an A2-sized (4.25” x 5.5”) Classic White cardstock panel, then ink blend in dark gray ink. I prefer to use a grip mat when ink blending, but you can also adhere them in place with low-tack tape! Align stencil 2 to the panel, then ink blend the dunes in sand brown and the…

    “Sending Hugs” Open Lace Frame and Landscapes Diecutting Tutorial

    May 8, 2026 / No Comments

    Hi, crafty friends! Lea Lawson here with you today, creating a card featuring the Open Lace Frame and Landscapes die set, along with a couple of other sets, from the Lisa Horton Summertime collection. I’m sharing my step-by-step process in easy-to-follow photos and instructions! To start, we are going to cut the scalloped frame die from Pearl Metallic cardstock from the Treasured Cardstock: Antique Assorted Pack using a Platinum 6 die cutting machine. For reference, the plate sandwich I will use for all the die-cutting in this tutorial is Platform A, Platform B, Cutting Plate C, cardstock, die (face down), and Cutting Plate C. Next, we need to cut the…

    October 27, 2025 / No Comments

    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…

    Hi crafty friends! I’m Lea Lawson, the creator behind Lea Lawson Creates, where I share all things colorful, crafty, and joy-filled. I’m thrilled to be here on the Spellbinders blog today with a trio of playful holiday cards featuring the brand-new Merry Mischief collection! This whimsical release is packed with charm, and I couldn’t resist diving in with three festive designs that mix die-cutting, embossing, foiling, and a whole lot of personality.

    The Magic of Wax Seals

    August 18, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I am a HUGE fan of Spellbinders Wax Seals. I love the way they look on cards, and I find them so relaxing to create! So today, I am thrilled to share some cards I made with the new Holiday Magic Wax Seals. The new Holiday Magic Wax Seal Frames come in rectangular and oval shapes. They bring to mind beautiful Victorian-era frames. They look amazing when covered in DecoColor Gold paint pens. Of course, you can use ANY colors of wax, but I love the non-traditional pinks and mint greens for these cards! Just add one of the small Holiday Magic Rub…
