Through The Garden Gate Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams
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 Through The Garden Gate Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. The gorgeous new flower dies and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three bright floral cards with realistic blooms that pop right off the page. Hollyhock Card The Hollyhock Die Set creates such a beautiful stalk of bright blooms that is perfect for slimline and mini slimline cards. Here I added a single stalk of coral hollyhocks to a pretty trellis-like background for a bold and bright love card. Die-cut Susan’s Garden Specialty Cardstock…

Through the Garden Gate Collection with Kassi Hulet
Hello, my fabulous friends, it’s Kassi Hulet here, and I’m excited to be guest designing, and sharing some fun projects featuring the new flowers from the Through the Garden Gate collection! I have been daydreaming of being able to walk out into the garden and see flowers everywhere… I’m beyond ready for the constant rain to give way to sunshine, and for it to really feel like spring. I can’t control the weather, so I’ll just have to fill my studio with flowers while I wait! When I looked up photos of hollyhocks to see what colors they come in, I found a spectrum of warm colors…pinks, reds, oranges, and…

Reverse Foiling with Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes and Jung AhSang
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung AhSang here, and I am so excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog.

There are 4 shapes: rectangle, square, oval, and circle. Reverse Diagonal Glimmer Stripes For my first card, I used the Essential Glimmer Solid Rectangle. I also used the…

Reverse Foiling Ideas with Michelle Short and Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection
Hello there, Michelle Short here with some inspiration using the new Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection. This is such a fun collection as you get to use up all of your scraps after foiling. There are so many different designs that work with reverse foiling. I love that these are shapes, but you can also cut your own shapes too! I have used the circle, rectangle (in a slightly different way!), and square today but there is also an oval. I found that I got great results by heating up the Glimmer Hot Foil System platform twice and also using the hinge method for foiling – by taping down the…

Utilizing Leftover Foil with Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes & Annie Williams
Hello again this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection from Spellbinders. The bold designs in this collection can be used with so many interesting techniques and I was inspired to create three springtime cards for a variety of occasions. Leftover Leaf Design One of my favorite ways to use these designs is also the simplest. By taking the leftover foil from a background design, I can create an equally beautiful “negative” of that background for another card. Here I added a few spring blooms to a golden leaf background…
