    Easy Die Cut Lemon Card | Spellbinders LIVE

    January 28, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Join Kim Kesti in the Creative Classroom as she creates with a fresh, new die set from the Be Bold collection, called Lemon Zest. The Lemon Zest dies (S4-1173) include leaf dies with a unique feature. In this set you’ll find a 5-leaf cluster but also 5 extra half-leaf dies to add a highlight or shadow to the leaves. Simply die cut the half leaves using an alternate shade of cardstock and layer onto the leaf cluster to bring your leaves to life. To add extra dimension and personality, Kim adds some simple inking to the leaves and lemons. In today’s video, you’ll see Kim work on a Stencil Mat from Waffle Flower Crafts. This…

    The Be Bold Collection – Building Paper Floral Creations

    January 24, 2022 / 4 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing three cards created with the Be Bold Collection at Spellbinders. This distinctive collection of and floral and foliage dies, lower- and uppercase alphabet sets, punctuation dies, embossing folders, and casual script sentiments lends itself to endless creative possibilities. I took an organic approach to designing my creations like assembling a floral bouquet. Let’s take a look as I share the cards from start to finish.
