    Realistic Primrose Card Tutorial with Serenity Garden Dies

    June 28, 2026 / 1 Comment

    Hello, everyone! I’m Jaycee, and I am thrilled to be sharing a project here on the Spellbinders blog today. You can usually find me over at my YouTube Channel, Instagram, and crafty blog, where I dive deep into the intersection of design principles and paper crafting. For today’s project, I wanted to push the boundaries of the STC Primrose set. While die-cutting often leans toward the whimsical, I’ve always been captivated by the organic textures and subtle color shifts found in nature. I spent some time gathering botanical reference images of primroses, focusing specifically on how the light hits the ‘stitched’ ridges of the petals and how the centers transition…

    How to Use a 3D Embossing Folder: Magical Fuchsia Card Tutorial

    April 29, 2026 / 2 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial with you using the Magical Fuchsia 3D Embossing Folder from the Magical Fuchsia collection by Alex Syberia. The embossing folder coordinates with the press plate and stencil set, but for today’s card, I wanted to show that it can be used on its own, too. EMBOSSING THE IMAGE Cut Violet ColorWheel Cardstock into a 4.25” x 5.5” panel. Using the Mighty Mister Spray Bottle, mist water onto both sides of the panel. TIP: Misting the cardstock with water helps to soften the fibres of the cardstock and helps to prevent cracking. Place inside Magical Fuchsia 3D Embossing Folder. Run through…

    Step by Step Tutorial: Multicolor BetterPress Cards Made Easy

    June 19, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel and today I am sharing the simplest way to create a multicolor BetterPress card using the Spellbinders Flourishing Betterpress Plates with a Registration Template. If you’ve never used a Spellbinders Registration template, don’t worry! I’ll share all the steps you need to follow, but essentially, the Registration template is an acetate sheet marked with each of the plates from the set. You will run the plates through in various passes and each pass is designated by a separate color on the acetate. So the first step is to tape the acetate to the BetterPress Chase (which is the magnetic platform that will hold the press…

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I am so honored to share 3 cards with the gorgeous (referring to both Yana and the collection!) Yana’s Daisies Collection. Yana’s Daisies consists of two BetterPress LetterPress plates and their coordinating stencils, a set of dies that form 3 daisies, a set of sentiment BetterPress LetterPress plates and coordinating dies, and a unique embossing folder that is so cool. It’s a big collection with something for everyone. Like most crafters, I like putting my own spin on products. Today, I went bold and bright and a little modern.
