    April 5, 2022 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Open Road Collection from Spellbinders. The unique dies and versatile sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three fun cards perfect for birthdays and graduations. Graduation Card I love how the cute convertible in the Open Road Die Set can be customized with all of the little details included in the set. Here I added gold accents and kept it extra classy for an easy and fun graduation card. Die-cut gold shimmer, Mirror Gold, Snowdrift, and Onyx Cardstock using the car and tire dies…

    March 1, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the March Embossing Folder of the Month Kit from Spellbinders. With its beautiful floral pattern and large size, the Garden Path Embossing Folder is perfect for tons of different techniques and occasions. Sometimes the easiest techniques make the prettiest cards.  Here I sanded white-core cardstock to create a soft and subtle background for this pretty hello card. Trim a piece of aqua white-core cardstock to 4” x 5.25” and emboss it using the Garden Path Embossing Folder. Lightly sand the raised edges with a sanding block to…

    August 5, 2021 / 6 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! I am Laura Evangeline, and I am excited to join you here as a guest blogger for the first time. I grew up in Texas, and after a few trips around the world with the Army, I now call Nashville “home” along with my handy husband, who is soon to retire from the Army, and also my spunky 10-year-old son. I can’t forget our two Yorkies, Max and Penny too! I started making cards a few decades ago now, but after taking a long break I realized it was more than a silly hobby. I wholeheartedly credit my mental health and well-being to crafting and the amazing…

    Hi there, this is Joe.  I have been crafting for almost 2 years and am so thrilled to work with Spellbinders’ Tis the Season collection. Come hang out with me on Instagram at @vjsjoey.  I have some cards to share with you and hope it will inspire you to create with us. I love the holiday seasons and love creating cards for these special occasions. For these projects, I was inspired by not-so traditional Christmas colors and to repeat the color theme for all 3 projects I created. Warm Wishes Christmas Card I kept this card simple but wanted to make an impact in the middle so that it is…

    Hey there, crafty pals! I’m so excited to be here on the Spellbinders blog today! My name is Suzanna. You may know me online and on Instagram as Made in Mojave. I’m sharing three cards today that I created with the Tis the Season collection. Each design is super versatile and can be used to create both holiday cards and regular cards alike. This first card is simple, but packs a punch, with the dimension added using the embossing folder. I first embossed a white piece of cardstock and adhered it to a red mat for my background. I die cut the florals and greenery, then added them in a…

    Hello everyone, this is Gemma from mygirllollipop.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today. I have three projects to share, highlighting the ‘Tis the Season” collection. This holiday collection has a wonderful mix of die sets, sentiments, glimmer hot foil plates and an embossing folder. I decided to go non-traditional with my colour scheme and have created a set of rainbow Christmas cards to share with you. For my first card, I began by die cutting the baubles from Holiday Decorations in a rainbow of cardstock, along with some gold glitter card. I offset layered a glitter bauble behind a coloured bauble and added gold…
