Sentiments for All Seasons
Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing some new, gorgeous sentiment sets from the All Seasons Scrapbooking Collection. These sentiment sets will go perfectly with almost any other Spellbinders product that you own and can be used all year round. My first project is a 6.5” x 3.5” slimline card that showcases the new Four Seasons Etched Dies. I combined the “Autumn” die along with some previously released fall-themed die sets. For the large foliage, large pumpkin, acorn, and mushroom, I used the Autumn Wonder Etched Dies Set. I also added some tiny leaves and foliage from…

Can Poppies Be Blue?
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three projects using Yana’s Poppies Collection. This beautiful collection features a poppy die, as well as a poppy background press plate (with or without a coordinating stencil). Poppies are generally red in color, maybe yellow or orange, but blue is quite rare. I did, however, base mine off the Himalayan blue poppy, which I think is absolutely beautiful! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES For my first card, I am using the Poppy Background Press Plate. This is such a stunning background! You can color the poppies with lots of different coloring mediums or use…

Mini Slimnline Trio Featuring Copperplate Holiday Sentiments
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three cards using the Copperplate Holiday Sentiments Collection by Paul Antonio. These beautiful script sentiments can be used in lots of different ways, and I love that they are large, so take center stage on the cards! These are Press Plates but can be foiled too, as you will see from my cards. I decided to make mini slimline cards today (3.5” x 6”) as I felt the sentiments fitted well with that design, but they work perfectly for all shapes and sizes of cards too! MERRY CHRISTMAS For my first card,…

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