    Faux Stitching Ideas To Try with Your Stitching Dies

    December 3, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! This is Lisa from My Card Trip and I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today. I am sharing a fun and simple way to get the look of stitching on your cards, without the need for actual stitching with thread! It is surprisingly easy and very quick to do.

    Kaleidoscope Arch – Versatile Products Rock!

    November 14, 2023 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here. Today I’m sharing a few cards using the Kaleidoscope Arch Collection. This collection has a little bit of everything – beautiful dies, a coordinating clear stamp set, and a gorgeous BetterPress LetterPress plate. I love products that can be used in different ways. Versatility keeps us from getting bored and stretches our crafty dollars. Here are a few ideas. Quick and Elegant Sympathy Card Confession: I rarely make sympathy cards.
