    Little Details with the Little Smiles Collection

    March 24, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing some cards made with The Little Smiles Collection. This Collection makes darling cards, particularly ones for babies and kids. It consists of 3 die sets, a BetterPress LetterPress sentiment and coordinating die set, and a 3D Embossing Folder and coordinating BetterPress Plate. I love to add little details to make my cards special. Add a few embellishments, an interesting layer or specialty paper, etc., and our cards no longer look like something you could purchase off a shelf. They become unique and special. BIRTHDAY GRID Isn’t this card adorable? I was inspired by this card that Yana Smakula shared a few months ago. (If…

    Three Adorable Farm Animal Cards

    February 20, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Justine’s Farm Collection by Justine Dvorak. This is a sweet collection of five press plate sets, four featuring adorable farm animals. One of the best things about BetterPress plates is that they can be used with the BetterPress System and the Glimmer Hot Foil System! When I’m already using either system, I like to make up extras, even if I don’t plan to use them yet. This is especially true for any sentiments. Impress the Daisy Press Plate and Die Set using Black BetterPress Ink on a Porcelain A2 BetterPress Cotton Card Panel. Create sentiments on a separate panel and…

    Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today from Sixth Street Sundries, and today I am sharing some inspiration using the luscious new Sealed 3D Christmas collection from Spellbinders! This new collection is so beautiful and creates some super pretty holiday cards and the sweetest gift box using the new Ribbon Box die. I am a pushover for gift-giving supplies, and so this new box die was definitely my favorite product from this new collection. I have a trio of projects to share with you today using a somewhat unconventional color palette, so let’s get started with the details! For all of my projects, I kept things saturated with color,…

    August 31, 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 BetterPress Christmas Collection from Spellbinders. The gorgeous plate designs and beautiful sentiments in the collection inspired me to create three easy holiday cards with an elegant letterpress effect. Festive Noel Card Something about the boldness and beauty of that Festive Noel Press Plate made me reach for this one first.  I added some simple coloring to a basic black press of this gorgeous design for an easy and pretty Christmas card. I started by adding black BetterPress Ink to the Festive Noel Press Plate and pressed…

    Hello, friends! It’s Marie again from Marie Nicole Designs. I’m sharing some more glimmered Christmas cards with you. This time, I’m using the Full Bloom Poinsettia Glimmer Plate but Im showing how to get three different glimmered designs. Let’s get started! GLIMMER A FULL CARD FRONT We will start by glimmering the plate onto a piece of white cardstock to create a full design for a card front. I have the plate warming up on the Glimmer machine while I cut some gold foil. After you cut a piece of foil you can lay it over your glimmer plate as it’s warming. I like to think of the backside of…

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring part of Yana’s De-Light-Ful Christmas Collection. It’s an amazing collection full of everything we love – hot foil, dies, stencils, etc. I am focusing on Joyful Glimmer, which consists of 2 hot foil plates – one sentiment plate and one holly plate that cleverly wraps around the sentiment. I love to go all out when I make Christmas cards and add those special elements that make the recipient go Wow. Even so, I love “clean and simple” cards. So, today I’m sharing a few ideas to add special details to clean and simple Christmas…

    July 12, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing some holiday cards using the Stitched for Christmas collection. Yes, Christmas! I’ve been crafting long enough to remember when companies would release their Christmas products in November, which never left me enough time to use them. So, I am thrilled to see Christmas in July. Chose a slightly nontraditional Christmas color palette, substituting aqua or teal for green. Note: I made these cards before the sentiments in this collection were available, so I used sentiments from last year’s collections.
