Floral Friendship Collection โ Easy Spring Cards with Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and Iโm excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Floral Friendship Collection from Spellbinders.ย The soft floral patterns, gorgeous die-cut elements, and fun embellishments in this collection inspired me to create three pretty springtime cards for different occasions. Floral Thank You Card The sweet bird patterned paper in the Floral Friendship paper pad caught my eye first, so I grabbed some golden die-cut flowers and mixed them with a bit of texture for this soft and pretty thank you card. I started by trimming a piece of patterned paper from the Floral Friendship Paper…

Floral Friendship Paper Suite Collection with Leica Palma
Hello crafty friends! Itโs Leica here and today Iโm sharing three cards featuring the Floral Friendship Paper Suite Collection. I absolutely love this collection – the paper pad includes beautiful soft floral patterns with a color combination of teal, pale green, mauve, pink, and yellow. Some of the papers have foiled accents. They are stunning and can be effortlessly mixed and matched with the die cuts, frames, and gemstones from the same collection. I started creating clusters of embellishments by gluing and foam mounting some pieces together. For my first card, I used papers from the Floral Friendship Paper Pad and white cardstock. I cut the papers with dies from…

Design Decisions: Keeping the Process Simple Using the Stylish Ovals Collection with Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! Do you have a hard time settling on a card design? Iโm Joan Bardee and I confess to remaking my cards multiple times. Today Iโm sharing how I simplified my design decisions using the beautiful Stylish Ovals Collection. I took a long look at the collection and noted that several of the products have a symmetrical or near-symmetrical design. Symmetry, where one half of the design mirrors the other half, is balanced and evokes calm. So, for each card, I opted to use: 1. the same limited color palette (red/peach, white, and/or gold), and 2. a symmetrical or near symmetrical layout. I found that by making these decisions…

Creating โOceansโ Without Watercoloring Using the Seahorse Kisses Collection with Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! Iโm Joan Bardee and today I am sharing 3 ocean-themed cards using the beautiful Seahorse Kisses Collection designed by Dawn Woleslagle. As Iโm sure many of you know, Dawn Woleslagle is an amazing watercolorist. The Seahorse Kisses Collection would be beautiful watercolored. However, since Iโm not on speaking terms with watercolors, I decided to create ocean backgrounds with ink blending on specialty papers. I hope you like the results. A Modern Inky Tide This abstract modern take on ocean tides was inspired by these amazing cards that Yana Smakula made with Spellbinders Glimmer Specialty Cardstock. This paper, designed to be the perfect paper for hot foiling, has a…
