    Alcohol Marker Colored Images using Simon Hurley Stamps and Dies

    January 24, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring Simon Hurley Stamps and Coordinating Dies. There’s so much to love about these products. The woodland animals are precious and there’s so many images in that set. The wreaths are gorgeous and the little artist critters are adorable. I’m most comfortable using alcohol markers but there are so many other mediums you could use. Tag me with the one you choose to color these images with. Emboss a piece of cream cardstock with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Drag brown ink pad across panel just catching the embossed areas. Cut to 4 x 5 1/4” and adhere to card base. Stamp…

    Using a Single Color Palette to Create Three Cards!

    October 2, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi crafty friends!  It’s Cassie Trask back with another blog post where I’m going to share a few cards using the new Falling Leaves Collection.  It may be in the 90s here in South Georgia, but I am very ready for Fall, and a Fall color palette is where it’s at! A Rainy Fall Background Fall often brings about some rain, which is why I like this Autumn Rain BetterPress Plate.  It’s such a pretty plate that gives you the opportunity to use lots of color especially when you use the Layered Autumn Rain Stencil. For all of my cards I brought in the Thanks Enclosed Sentiments dies, because they…

    Adding Dimension to your Fall Projects

    October 2, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hi Spellbinders fans. Alanna Moses from EmbellishCraftLove.com and I am very excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog today. Today, I am working with the Falling Leaves collection. This collection has a press plate with coordinating stencil, a 3D embossing folder, and three wax seals. All of these products are so beautiful and pair perfectly together. For my first card, I started by taking the Autumn Rain BetterPress and Stencil Bundle and used my BetterPress machine to ink up the press plate. I used the Opal Blush Shimmer Interference Ink Pad from Lisa Horton Crafts.  I then used the coordinating stencils to color the umbrellas and leaves. I trimmed…
