    Watercoloring Die Cuts & Stamped Images with Karin Markers – Step-by-Step Tutorial

    November 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hi everyone! It’s Jean Doeringsfeld and I’m super excited to be a guest on the Spellbinders Blog. Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite techniques for using Karin markers. This is a super easy watercolor technique that will help you learn about how the markers work and create stunning results every time. I have 3 cards to share with you today – the first two use the Karin markers to watercolor die cuts and the 3rd shows how to apply the same method to a BetterPress image (or any image, really). Step 1 (for All Cards):  Start by swatching the markers to determine which colors you want for your project…

    More Betterpress Christmas Inspiration

    October 21, 2023 / No Comments

    Hey friends! I’m Mindy Eggen and I’m so excited to be on the Spellbinders blog today to share inspiration using the More BetterPress Christmas Collection. I have been looking forward to working with this collection and creating some stunning cards quickly and easily. One of my favorite things to do when working with BetterPress plates is creating backgrounds. I personally like to create the background first and then add the BetterPress design which is what I did for two of the three cards that I’m sharing today. The first way that I wanted to add color was by watercoloring a nighttime sky for the Seasons Greetings Evergreens. After the panel…

    Hi friends! Emily Midgett from Sixth Street Sundries here with you today on the Spellbinders blog, and today I have some inspiration to share using a few products from the BetterPress Christmas Collection! One of my favorite things about the new BetterPress Letterpress plates is how beautifully they work with both your BetterPress letterpress machine and the Glimmer Hot Foil machine! The amount of detail that you can achieve with either machine using the super intricate images in the BetterPress lineup is truly impressive. I have created a quartet of projects to share with you today using several products from the BetterPress Christmas collection, so let’s get started with the…
