@spellbinders #teamspellbinders #neverstopmaking #birthdaycelebration #birthday #cardmakingtutorial #diy #handmade Today I’m celebrating my birthday with a fun cardmaking project featuring the NEW Spellbinders Checkmate Collection! 🎉 In this video, I’ll create a bold checkerboard background using the Layered Harlequin Stencil Set, add lots of sparkle and splatter, and bring dimensional checker pieces to life with the Chess & Checkers Etched Dies. This card was so much fun to make, and I love how the finished design looks like a real checkers game board! If you enjoy unique cardmaking ideas, die cutting, ink blending, and creative techniques, I hope this project inspires you.
