    In Reel Color

    May 6, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello Crafty Friends, it’s Amy Tsuruta and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring the amazing Take Note Collection. I wanted to incorporate a rainbow palette with my projects but also keep it to a handful of colors. For my first project, I designed a mini composition book. I combined the Memo Splatter BetterPress Plate along with the Reel Color Sentiment BetterPress Plate & Die Set. This is when I tell you that I love working with BetterPress products!  The Memo Splatter was inked in Azalea – BetterPress Ink, and the sentiment in Black – BetterPress ink.

    Hello! Jen Kotas here today with two cards featuring the Simon Hurley Sky’s the Limit Collection. This collection includes two die sets, a BetterPress sentiment plate and die set, plus a 3D embossing folder and coordinating stencils.

I used a half piece of white cardstock with the Flying Kites 3D Embossing Folder to embossed panel. Then, I added color to the embossed images using the Layered Flying Kites Stencil. Next, I die cut hearts from the Up and Away Etched Dies out of Saffron, Wild Berry, and Teal Topaz ColorWheel Cardstock. I finished…

    Delicate Duo: Capturing the Charm of Daisies

    April 25, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, my Spellbinders’ friends!  My name is Jaycee Gaspar, and I’m so excited to share two cards featuring Yana’s Daisies by Yana Smakula. This collection features gorgeous daisy images in Yana’s signature die-cut outline style. I decided to pair the A2 and A7 BetterPress plates with complementary color layering stencils. For my designs, I chose to emphasize the versatility of these plates by using cohesive color palettes—just like the vast daisy family, Asteraceae. Up first, I used Yana’s Daisy Trio BetterPress Plate and its coordinating Layered Daisy Trio Stencil to make this card based on Rudbeckia. In my home state of Colorado, these black-eyed-susans thrive in the dry and…
