Spellbinders and Esther Glas: Torn Edges CardLab Tag

August 19, 2026

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share the brand new Turn the Page Collection by Esther Glas for Spellbinders Paper Arts. It has a little of everything in this collection: stamping, embossing, journaling, rolodex cards and my favorite tags.

A handcrafted decorative tag featuring a bird, a birdcage, and colorful flowers, layered with patterned papers and embellishments.

So, of course, I started with the Torn Edges CardLab Etched Dies.

A collection of decorative labels and tags featuring the months of the year, including 'January,' 'February,' 'March,' etc., along with the word 'SPLENDID' and several seasonal icons like flowers, suns, leaves, and snowflakes.

I cut out the tag and the hole enforcer (hole enforcer didn’t make it into the photo below) and I was ready to start creating.

A crafted paper tag featuring a patterned design with circles and a small hole at the top, alongside a coordinating metal frame in orange.

I know I’ve said this before but if you have leftover scraps of cardstock, embellishments, etc. this is a great way to use up those scraps and create something fun. Most of the time after I am finished with a project all the scraps go into a zip lock bag which I work from when I start another project.

Anyways, back to the tag I used one of the borders from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies as a decorative element. There’s so many possibilities with this set of dies.

A graphic design featuring several brown stylized shapes, including one with words 'SEEN - NOTED - COLLECTED - DOCUMENTED' embossed on it.

For the base of the tag, I inked up the edges of the tag and scraps of cardstock. I applied an Adhesive Sheet to a scrap piece of cardstock and cut out one of the borders from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies. I also placed Foam Squares to the back of a bird cage image.

A collection of decorative paper pieces including a tag with circular patterns, colorful labels, and strips of decorative trim on a beige background.

I removed the Adhesive Sheet backing from the border die and placed onto the tag.

Also before placing the bird cage image onto the tag base, I inked scraps of cardstock and glued to the back side of the image and added the hole enforcer.

A decorative craft tag featuring a vintage-style birdcage illustration adorned with colorful roses. The tag includes layered patterned papers and embellishments, with a copper stencil strip and decorative accents.

The next thing I did was fussy cut several roses, leaves and a bird images from a piece of cardstock. I adhered the flowers to the bird cage image and added a Gold Gem to two of the roses.

I placed Foam Squares to the back of the bird before placing onto the corner of the bird cage image and added loops of thread to finish.

This was a fun and relaxing project to work on and I can’t wait to create more so stay tuned! If you have any questions or comments about this project please leave them below.

Creating an Up-cycled Box Using The Poet’s Garden Diecuts

February 9, 2026

Hi everyone! I’m back with my first project of the month using The Poet’s Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn and Spellbinders. This collection contains Love-in-a-Mist Etched Dies, Clematis Poet Etched Dies, Wild Violet and Ladybugs Etched Dies and The Poet’s Garden Sentiments Press Plus Plate and Die Set. I used all the die sets except for the press plus plate die set. Anyways, let’s get started!

Mixed media craft project featuring vibrant paper flowers, including blue and purple blossoms, arranged on a wooden background with vintage elements.

I will need a present in the upcoming months so I dug into my stash of small boxes I keep on hand and found this small box. I covered the outside and the inside portion that slides out with a cardstock that looks like wood. I also added trim to both outside ends of the box.

A rustic wooden box with a decorative trim, featuring a drawer partially pulled out.

There are videos for each set of dies on how to put together. For the first set of diecuts I used is the Wild Violet and Ladybugs Etched Dies. You can find that video HERE.

A collection of die cut shapes including leaves and flowers in various colors, with teal, purple, and metallic copper elements displayed on a black background.

These videos explain how to put these florals together so much better than I could.

Paper flowers with purple petals and green stems accompanied by green leaves on a beige background.

The second set of diecuts are the Clematis Poet Etched Dies and you can find that how to video HERE. The third set of diecuts are the Love-in-a-Mist Etched Dies and you can find that video HERE.

Various paper flower parts including petals and leaves in pastel colors, arranged on a light background.

I thought I had taken a couple of step out photos of the Love-in-a-Mist flower but apparently not. So here is another photo of the Clematis.

A handcrafted paper flower featuring soft pastel colors, with intricate layered petals and a detailed center. The flower showcases shades of light blue, white, and hints of green.

I glued to the top of the box sleeve, cardstock that I had inked with brown chalk ink and lace.

A wooden box decorated with textured paper, lace, and vintage-style elements, featuring a light wood finish and a decorative trim on top.

I arranged and adhered all flowers to the top of the box sleeve.

I made bows out of cording and places under the Clematis and Love-in-a-Mist to finish.

Now this box is ready for gift giving and it can be used as a home decor piece too.

If you have any comments or questions about this project please leave them below.

Explore the Beautifully Imperfect Collection for Card Making

October 29, 2025

Hi everyone! I want to share two quick cards I created using the Deckled Edge Script Etched Dies, Tangled Threads Etched Dies and Tattered Stripes Stencils from the Beautifully Imperfect Collection by Spellbinders. I also used a few other dies and stamps from Spellbinders which I will list below.

A handmade greeting card featuring a blue stenciled background, gold zigzag patterns, and the sentiment 'love from all of us' with a heart cutout.

I haven’t many step out photos of each card because I was in the moment when creating these. Both cards measure 6″x4 1/2″ folded. I used the Tattered Stripes Stencils and stenciled the card with two different colors of blue ink from my stash.

A handmade card featuring blue and green striped patterns created with stencils, placed next to several thin stencil sheets.

I used the outer die from the Deckled Edge Script Etched Dies on the stenciled image. I inked the edges with a blue ink and backed with a mat which I also inked. I placed the “love from all of us” stamp from the Christmas Memories Enclosed Clear Stamp Set onto MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto the stenciled image.

A handmade card featuring a blue watercolored background with gold zigzag patterns and a small blue heart, captioned 'love from all of us'.

I added Foam Pop Dots on the back and placed onto the card base. I cut three of the zip zag dies from the Tangled Threads Etched Dies and glued to the card. I cut and used the heart center from the Crafty Babe Die Bundle to finish the first card.

A handcrafted greeting card featuring a blue and green striped background, adorned with golden zigzag patterns and a white heart, with the sentiment 'LOVE FROM ALL OF US' printed below.

The second card I cut a background from Gold Cardstock and the script from an Alabaster Cardstock from the Deckled Edge Script Etched Dies. I inked over the script die with a brown ink. I adhered the script to the background. I added onto the card base.

Two decorative cards featuring intricate die cuts and stenciling, showcasing a blend of textured papers and gold accents.

I placed a tangled thread die from the Tangled Threads Etched Dies onto the card. I also added a flower from the Crafty Babe Die Bundle. I stamped “a little something”sentiment onto a piece of cardstock. I inked the edges and placed one edge of it under the flower. I added a Gold Gem to the center of the flower to finish.

If you have any comments or questions about both of these cards please leave below.

Explore the Majestic Guitar Dies Collection for Crafts

October 2, 2025

Hi everyone! It’s a new month and I want to share a project I created using the Majestic Guitar Etched Dies and the Majestic Guitar Side Panels Etched Dies from the Bibi’s Musical Notes Collection by Bibi Cameron and Spellbinders. There is also Majestic Guitar Box Creator Bundle which contains both sets at a discounted price.

A decorated guitar box with floral patterns, intricate designs, and multiple strings, placed on a textured, white knitted background.

I have no step out photos of how I put this adorable guitar box together but I do plan on creating more of these. I’ll do a thorough how to at that time. Anyways, I wanted to at least share.

Close-up of a decorated guitar-shaped box featuring floral patterns and intricate die-cut designs.

I used an assortment of different types of cardstock. The floral paper I found at Hobby Lobby if you are interested.

A beautifully crafted guitar-shaped box decorated with floral patterns and polka dots, showcasing intricate die-cut details.

Before cutting out all the individual diecut pieces that went on the front of the guitar I applied Adhesive Roll to the back of the cardstock. This made applying all the pieces to the front of the guitar so much easier. Also I used a brown chalk ink to ink the edges of all the diecuts before putting together.

I love that you can add a small treat or gift card and give this as a gift. I can also see a Christmas tree full of these guitars. How would you use this set of dies? Let me know in the comments below.

Easy DIY Cards with Shadow Joy Etched Dies

August 29, 2025

Hi everyone! I want to share a couple of quick and easy cards I created. I used the Shadow Joy Etched Dies from the City Holiday Collection by Yana Smakula and Spellbinders.

Two handmade greeting cards featuring the word 'joy' in pink, embellished with gold stars and gems, displayed on a lace tablecloth.

For both cards, the base is a 4 1/4″x 5 1/2″ folded. The first card I cut a mat slightly smaller than the base of the card and added. I cut out the joy and the joy shadow dies in two different colors of red cardstock and adhered together.

A handcrafted card featuring the word 'joy' in vibrant pink letters, adorned with gold star embellishments, set against a patterned background and a green border.

I glued the joy dies to the card. I cut three star dies from Gold Cardstock. I adhered all three stars to the card to finish.

A handmade greeting card featuring the word 'joy' in layered pink cardstock with two small gold glitter stars on a decorative background.

The second card I cut two mats. One mat was slightly smaller than the other. I glued both on top of the other and glued to the base. I cut out the joy and five star dies. I glued all to the card.

A greeting card featuring the word 'joy' in bold red letters, adorned with yellow stars and gems on a patterned background of holly leaves.

I added six Gold Gems to the card to finish.

How to Use Spellbinders Country Christmas Collection

August 12, 2025

Hi everyone! I meant to share these cards I had created last week on the blog. But my back went out on the first of August. I have been to the chiropractor every other day. He has worked to get everything back in alignment. I’ll probably be going every other day until the end of this month. The pain was something beyond anything I have ever experienced and hope it never happens again.

Anyways, back to the cards! I created these three cards using the Country Christmas Collection by Annie Williams and Spellbinders.

A festive card featuring a snowman with a cowboy hat and a red scarf, accompanied by a small animal. The background is light blue with snowflakes, and the text at the bottom reads 'LOVE FROM ALL OF US'.

The first card, I used the Country Snowman Etched Dies. The base of all the cards I’m sharing today is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ folded.

A card featuring a snowman with a red scarf and a cowboy hat, interacting with a rabbit, and the text 'LOVE FROM ALL OF US' printed at the bottom.

This set has 20 dies to create your own snowman with friends. I did choose to leave the broom and bird feeder off this card I created. I added the “love from all of us” sentiment from the Christmas Memories Enclosed Clear Stamp Set to the bottom of the card.

A festive card featuring a rocking chair with a green blanket, a bear sitting on a red Christmas pillow, and a decorated potted Christmas tree.

The second card, I used the Christmas Rocking Chair Etched Dies to create this adorable card. This set has 26 dies but I choose not to add the Santa hat and boots to the card. For this card and the snowman card I did lightly ink around each diecut piece to add dimension.

A handmade Christmas card featuring three decorative squares with white trees on a teal background, surrounded by white polka dots. The card is embossed with a hexagonal pattern and includes the text 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' beneath the squares.

The last card, I cut out three of the tree/snow dies from the Christmas Rocking Chair Etched Dies. I added two squared cardstocks per tree/snow die and glued each to the card. I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Christmas Memories Enclosed Clear Stamp Set onto the card to finish.

When I’m better I hope to be using these diecuts for other cards and tag! Also if you have any questions or comments about these cards please leave them below.

Make Quick and Easy Snowflake Cards in Minutes

July 31, 2025

Hi everyone! I want to share two quick and easy cards I created. For these cards, I used the Merry Moments Dimensional Snowflakes. I also incorporated one of the stamps from the Christmas Memories Enclosed Clear Stamp Set by Spellbinders.

I was in the moment and I didn’t get any step out photos. These cards took less than 10 minutes to create. Anyways let’s get started!

A greeting card featuring a snowflake design with the text 'SEASON'S GREETINGS' at the bottom.

For this card and second I will be showing, the bases measures 4 1/4″x 5 1/2″ folded.

For the first card I cut three squares each slightly smaller than the other.

A holiday greeting card featuring a layered design with a snowflake embellishment centered on a blue square. The text 'SEASON'S GREETINGS' is prominently displayed below the snowflake.

I inked the edges with a blue chalk ink and glued all together.

I placed the “season’s greetings” sentiment stamp from Christmas Memories Enclosed Clear Stamp Set onto the MISTI Stamping Tool. I inked with Black Ink and stamped onto the card base.

I placed one of the snowflakes from the Merry Moments Dimensional Snowflakes in the center of the matted squares. I added a Flatback Pearl to the center of the snowflake to finish.

A handmade greeting card featuring layered squares in shades of green, a decorative snowflake, and the text 'SEASON'S GREETINGS' printed in brown.

Creating Beautiful Cards with Spellbinders Yuletide Ride Dies

A festive handmade card featuring a red car decorated with a Christmas tree, wreath, and presents, set against a blue patterned background.

Create a Quick Christmas Card with Merry Moments Collection

July 29, 2025

Hi everyone! I’m back with a quick card I created from the Merry Moments Collection by Spellbinders. I used the Christmas Cameos 3D Embossing Folder. Also a few diecut shapes and a chipboard piece from the Merry Moments Limited Edition Holiday Cardmaking Kit.

A handcrafted Christmas card featuring an embossed green background, a red poinsettia die cut, holly leaves, and a 'Season of Wonder' sentiment in red and white.

The first thing I did was lightly spritz the cardstock with a Mister Spray Bottle. I cut to size the cardstock and placed inside of the Cameos 3D Embossing Folder. Once dry I lightly inked with a combination of white, greens and blues chalk inks.

Embossed cardstock featuring a decorative pattern of ovals and bows in shades of green.

I selected a poinsettia and a holly branch die cut. I also picked a chipboard sentiment from the Merry Moments Limited Edition Holiday Cardmaking Kit 2025. I shaped the holly branch with a Stylus.

A gold and white tool labeled 'Spellbinders Tool in One' next to a die-cut holly branch featuring green leaves and white berries.

I glued the embossed cardstock to a 5″x 7″ card base. I placed Foam Pop Dots on the back side of the poinsettia die cut and placed onto the card. I adhered the holly branch underneath the poinsettia.

Close-up of a Christmas card featuring a poinsettia and holly branch die cuts, with a gold thread accent and a red tag that reads 'Season of Wonder' against a textured green embossed background.

I looped Gold Thread around my fingers and tied off. I glued underneath the raised poinsettia and added the Season of Wonder chipboard piece above the die cut.
