The Perfect Match Inspiration | Getting All Mushy with Gemma
Hello everyone, this is Gemma from mygirllollipop.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog this week. I’ll be sharing projects highlighting the Perfect Match Collection by Debi Adams. My card today features the adorable Getting All Mushy stamp and die set. I was drawn to this set by one of the sentiments. My 3 year old niece is really sweet as she’s always saying ‘I love you so much!’, so I just had to make her a card with the cute mushrooms and fun sentiment. I began by stamping the mushroom images on to a white card base. I did some masking so the middle mushroom would…

Video Friday | Stenciled Scene Shaker Backgrounds
Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and thank you for joining me! Today I’m sharing how to layer stencils to create a seasonal background scene for a die cut image. I’m layering inking and stenciling with embossing paste and stencils and finishing it all with an interactive shaker element! Creating a scene card is one of my very favorite styles of card to create. The Deer dies are the perfect focal point of these love-themed shaker cards.

Video Friday | Dimensional Valentine with Kelly
It’s Kelly Latevola here and I’m so excited to be sharing a fun dimensional valentine with you today. Valentine’s have been on the forefront of my mind lately. Once I saw this set, with that font, I was sold! I started by laying down a super light blend of Salty Ocean Distress Oxide. I flicked on a bit of clean water and perfect pearls to add some interest to the background. I stamped the Bee Any Sweeter Stamp three times. Once on white, once on my background, and again on the background after I adhered the heart. This makes sure all the lines for the sentiment are flush. I did a…
Creating a Valentine’s Day Favor for Someone Special
Valentine’s Day. Just those two words can play on your emotions or your pocketbook and, for some of us, both. Ha! Hi, I’m Debi Adams and I love Valentine’s Day! Though some insist the day is all tied to commercialism, I don’t see it that way at all. I look at it as an opportunity to shower people with kindness and love. It can be done on any day really and it doesn’t have to be over the top. Just a token of thoughtfulness is appreciated. So this brings us to today’s project. Created with my Match Book, Just Chillin and Reaction Sets, this Valentine’s favor (or with the right…
