    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…

    Colorful Floral Designs With the Let’s Celebrate Collection

    March 20, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of colorful cards made with the new Let’s Celebrate Collection by Yana Smakula. The gorgeous floral designs and sweet sentiments in the collection inspired me to create three cards in pretty spring color schemes for all different occasions. Birthday In Blues Card The floral design in the Peony Background Press Plate is so intricate it reminded me a little of toile, so I inked it in several different shades of blue to create a backdrop for this fun floral birthday card.

    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,…
