    Oh What Fun! Cards for Beginners with Jung

    September 30, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung, and I am so happy to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. If you’d like to follow my crafty projects, my blog is jungahsang.wordpress.com, and my Instagram is @junglebarrya. Today, I’m working with some die-cuts from the Oh What Fun! collection. I will be showing 3 different and easy ways to use these fun diecuts on cards. For my first card, I made an interactive mini slimline card. To begin my card, I trimmed a piece of Cosmic Sky cardstock using one of the precision layering mini slimline dies. I wanted to add some interest to the background, so I used…

    Precision Layering Basics with Jennifer Kotas

    January 19, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Hello! My name is Jen Kotas and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got three cards to share with you made using the new Precision Layering Basics Dies. What wonderful sets of basic dies to ensure straight edges and perfect measurements every time. When using the A and B sets together to make a 1/16” frame, you’ll need to die cut them separately. I found it easier to cut the smaller die first, then line up the larger one and cut. It is possible, however, to cut the larger one first. Die-cut largest Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies from white cardstock and emboss…

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works, and I’m so thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today using the new Cardmaker II Stamp Collection. The beautifully illustrated images in this collection inspired me to create three easy and fun cards for a variety of occasions. My first project features the Love Never Fails Stamp Set and the New Start Stamp Set. I fell in love with the floral images in the Love Never Fails Stamp Set and had to use them right away for my Slimline Card. This set comprises of 20 clear photopolymer stamps and one can create a wonderful bouquet of flowers to a field of blooms using it. It’s very…

There are so many fun die and glimmer sets in this collection that you can mix and match to get a head start on your Christmas cards!
