Metallic Embossed CAS Cards
Hi, it’s Mona Toth here, in this post I have an easy-peasy CAS card inspiration for you with Flurry of Snowflakes 3D embossing folder. If you need an elegant card for an occasion, this design is a very good choice and the result will be eye-catching with a luxury touch. The heart of this technique are 3 elements: a 3D embossing folder with pretty pattern, a high-weight cardstock and a high-quality mirror cardstock. I decided to use the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder. First, I cut a piece of 5.5” by 4.25” cardstock from the Gold and Silver Mirror Cardstocks. I also cut 2 pieces of white heavy weight…

Butterfly Kisses: 3 Ways – Complicated to Simple by Joan Bardee
Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and today I’m featuring 3 cards using the Butterfly Kisses stamp and die set designed by the amazing Simon Hurley. I’ve got something for everyone here; the first card has lots of layers and colors; the second repeats 2 images; and the third is clean and simple. Used a lot of purple on these cards, which is a color that I rarely use – but butterflies just seem to work with it! Floral Frame Card Used Yana Smakula’s “perfect cardmaking formula” to design this card. This was a stretch for me as I usually make much simpler cards. Yana’s formula is to place a…

Birthday Basics 3 Ways with Jung AhSang
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with just one stamp set: the Birthday Basics stamp set from Simon Hurley, along with the coordinating dies. Birthday Cake Card For my first card, I used the birthday cake from the stamp set. I started out by stamping the image twice with black ink on white cardstock. I colored the first image with Copic markers, then used the coordinating die to cut it out. On the cake, I stamped the “Hope your day is as amazing as you are!” sentiment with Versamark ink, and heat…

Rainbow Showered with Love Cards
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I share 3 cards that I made using the new Showered with Love collection by Vicky Papaioannou. Umbrella Blooms Slimline Card For my first card, I used the Umbrella Bloom dies to create a vertical slimline card. First, I die-cut all the dies in the Umbrella Bloom die set. For the umbrella pieces, I die-cut them several times to make a total of 4 umbrellas. Next, I glued together all the umbrella pieces, and the floral pieces. For my background panel, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to be slightly smaller than a slimline card, then used Distress inks to create an…
