    Simple and Elegant Cards Using Sentiments as a Focal Point

    March 28, 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 easy cards made with the new Copperplate Everyday Sentiments Collection by Paul Antonio. The beautiful, oversized sentiment plates in this collection create amazing focal points for simple and elegant cards. Black & White Thank You Card Paul Antonio’s gorgeous calligraphy deserves the spotlight on any card and the Copperplate Thank You Sentiment Plate is one of my favorites.  Here I used the classic black, white, and gold color combination for an elegant thank you card. Ink up the Copperplate Thank You Sentiment Plate with BetterPress Black Ink and press…

    Hexi-Gems Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    May 25, 2023 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders. I loved playing with different ways to use this fun new shape in my cardmaking and was inspired to create a couple of pretty cards in three different styles. Sleek and Modern Friendship Card Since we’re working with “gems” here, I pulled out my favorite color of Glimmer Hot Foil to use with the new Hexi-Gem Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.  Moondust Hot Foil creates an amazing iridescent finish that reminds me of blue topaz.  Here I did some simple foiling for…

    Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m super excited to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog again today! I’m sharing three cards using the Stylish Ovals Collection!! There is something for everyone in this collection…stamps, dies, embossing folders, foil stamping, and stitching dies!! It’s AMAZING! THINKING OF YOU CARD I began by stamping the image and sentiment from the Stylish Oval Birthday Wishes Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored it with Copic markers and die-cut it with a die from the Essential Stylish Ovals Etched Dies. I also die-cut Fruit Punch cardstock with the next largest die in the same…

    Design Decisions: Keeping the Process Simple Using the Stylish Ovals Collection with Joan Bardee

    May 2, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! Do you have a hard time settling on a card design? I’m Joan Bardee and I confess to remaking my cards multiple times. Today I’m sharing how I simplified my design decisions using the beautiful Stylish Ovals Collection. I took a long look at the collection and noted that several of the products have a symmetrical or near-symmetrical design. Symmetry, where one half of the design mirrors the other half, is balanced and evokes calm. So, for each card, I opted to use: 1. the same limited color palette (red/peach, white, and/or gold), and 2. a symmetrical or near symmetrical layout. I found that by making these decisions…
