    Shaking It Up using Shaker Domes & Pretty Mixes!

    October 28, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there Spellbinders friends! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m so excited to be here as a guest and I am sharing three shaker cards using the fabulous Shaker Domes. I love to make shakers, so these cards were really fun to create and the Shaker Domes make it very easy to make them. There are five different-shaped domes in this collection; Arch, Stylish Oval, Emerald Cut, Fresh Picked and Hexi-Gem. They work with the coordinating die sets, so everything is super easy to put together! The dome itself is approx. 0.38” high so you have plenty of room to add different-sized shaker mixes…

    BetterPress and Yasutomo Watercolors & Brushes

    May 5, 2024 / No Comments

    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 the Yasutomo Aquarelle watercolor pallet and Yasutomo Fusion brushes. I made a beautiful card, featuring the Let’s Celebrate BetterPress collection by Yana Smakula. After I gathered my supplies, I started out by adding a light wash of color to an A2 porcelain BetterPress cotton panel. I added 3 different pinks from the watercolor pallet to the Yasutomo porcelain flower dish and watered the colors down significantly. Then, I added a thin layer of water all over the cotton panel. I used the largest Yasutomo brush…

    New Let’s Celebrate Collection: Mother’s Day with Mauve and Gold

    March 19, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today on the Spellbinders blog, and I’m thrilled to be sharing some inspiration using the utterly luscious new collection from Yana Smakula called Let’s Celebrate. Yana’s signature style with elegant florals and beautiful calligraphic sentiments is laced throughout this collection, and it was a true pleasure to play with! The shining star of the collection, for me at least, is the divine Peony Better Press Plate. The Better Press Plates work beautifully with both the Better Press system and the Glimmer Hot Foil System, and both methods work incredibly well with this exquisitely detailed press plate. Whenever I am creating a card set,…
