Handmade Collection Inspiration | Handcrafted Card with Yana
Hello there! This is Yana Smakula, an in-house creative designer for Spellbinders! I feel like it’s been a long time since I last shared my projects or posted a blog post here! So let’s fix that! I have many projects to share created using the most beautiful Handmade collection by Stephanie Low. You might have already seen one of the cards shared here and also a collection introduction post by Stephanie herself. I love to use stamps for my handmade cards and I often use stamped sentiments to complete my die-cut cards. But I also adore using small individual stamp images to create unique, one of a kind backgrounds for…

Elegant 3D Vignettes Inspiration | Ornamental Arch Card with Melissa
Hello! Melissa Phillips here with you today and I have the pleasure of sharing a project using some of the beautiful Elegant 3D Vignettes Dies from Becca Feeken. These dies are truly breathtaking! I created a card using the Ornamental Arch die set. These dies are so versatile, allowing you to take your card from simple and basic, to very detailed and layered. Layers are one of my must-have items on each card I create, so these 3D Vignette dies are a dream to work with. In the background, I die cut a pale yellow arch, followed by a vellum arch. These form the background, behind my more intricate layers…

Flower Garden Inspiration | Bird Of Spring Card with Mayline
Hi! Mayline here with you again and I am excited to be sharing my second guest post here on the Spellbinders blog. Catch my first post here. For today’s post I’ve created clean and simple style card with the Flower Garden collection by Sharyn Sowell. To start off I created a background using a blending technique with light blue color ink on 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ white cardstock panel. And set aside. Next I used the Bird on Cherry Branch dies to cut leaves, bird, wing and cherry branch from 300g watercolor papers. After that I colored them all using watercolor paints.

Video Friday | Feathers and Florals with Kelly
It’s Kelly Latevola here and I’m back with a fun floral arrangement that uses a ton of products from Stephanie Low’s Cool Vibes Designer Series. I love so many of the elements in this series it was hard to choose which to use! I started by stamping out all my images in Copic safe ink then I dove right into the coloring. I went with a golden yellow and then added purple since they are complimentary colors. I love purple with teal and bright green so those were easy additions to round out my color palette. Once the coloring was finished I put the coordinating dies in place and ran…

Love, Set, Match and Ready for Creativity by Debi Adams
Hi friends! I’m designer Debi Adams and I just had to show you a few projects from my past collection, “Love, Set, Match” by Spellbinders. This all-occasion line was created to put a smile on your face and bring some happiness to the recipient. I loved putting punny sentiments into each stamp and die set so that the collection is complete in itself. Here are three different card/project ideas I created just for you. Would love to hear what your favorite is! Not much of a scientist here but loved the silly sentiment and had to do a collection around it. This stamp and die set is called Reaction and…

Bible Journaling Inspiration | Lord is My Strength with Yoonsun
Hello crafty friends! Yoonsun is here. Thank you so much for joining me! Today I will be sharing with you my colorful (and cheerful) watercolor card with some Joanne Fink Bible Journaling collection products. I started by stamping the sentiment from the Take Delight stamp set on the center of the watercolor paper panel using gray pigment ink. I randomly stamped flowers, butterflies, birds, treble clef around the edges of the panel using gray pigment ink as well. I stamped the sentiment & flowers on a separate watercolor paper in gray for adding dimensions to my card later. I brushed over the stamped images with clean water first, and then…

Video Friday | Watercoloured Die Cut Wreath with Debby
Hello, and thank you for joining me. My name is Debby Hughes, and you can find me blogging at Lime Doodle Design. I have been paper crafting for a while now, since 2006. Spellbinders dies were some of the first I bought, and so I’m delighted to be sharing this video tutorial with you today. My project concentrates on creating a classic wreath with lots of layers and dimension. I love to watercolour, and so I painted panels of watercolour to use with my die cuts. However, this wreath would look lovely cut from patterned paper or cardstock too. In the video, I show a quick unboxing of the Platinum…
