    Yana’s Poppies with Emily Midgett

    August 14, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today from Sixth Street Sundries, and I had the distinct pleasure of playing with goodies from Yana Smakula’s new floral collection called Yana’s Poppies. I have been such a fan of Yana’s work for such a long time, so it is always a privilege to play with products that she has curated. I know that poppies are traditionally red, but I am always up for making things fit my own style, and I know that Himalayan Blue poppies do in fact exist, so I decided to make a trio of projects inspired by those unique flowers! For my first project, I decided to…

    Creating Christmas Cards with the Simon Hurley Christmas Collection

    August 4, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hi, it’s Marie here from the blog and YouTube channel, Marie Nicole Designs. I’m excited to be sharing three cards I created using stamps from the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. These cards are fairly simple to create, and they will be perfect to send out in this upcoming holiday season. I made two cards with a glimmered background I added with a Simon Hurley Glimmer plate I have. I think the pattern looks like snowflakes so it fit well with the snowmen! The last card I made is simply using the stamped image along with a sentiment and some ink-blended colors. Let’s take a look! SIMPLY SNOWMEN I started…

    Faux Stitching Ideas To Try with Your Stitching Dies

    December 3, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! This is Lisa from My Card Trip and I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today. I am sharing a fun and simple way to get the look of stitching on your cards, without the need for actual stitching with thread! It is surprisingly easy and very quick to do. Many stitching dies can actually be used without any threads at all, as the patterns are often still really pretty with all the tiny holes. However, you can also add faux stitching with pens to give you a similar look to thread. I am going to be sharing one card in detail today but…

    Christmas Traditions Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    October 6, 2021 / 2 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 Christmas Traditions Collection from Spellbinders.  The classic holiday images, gorgeous Glimmer plates, and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three colorful cards perfect for sending a little Christmas cheer. I love anything poinsettia for the holidays so I reached for the Holiday Florals Background Glimmer Plate first to foil a beautiful border for this bold and bright Christmas card. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. Apply Gold Hot Foil to each corner using the Holiday Florals Background Glimmer…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Expressions of Spring Collection.  The elegant layered eggs, cute bunnies, and beautiful florals inspired me to create two different styles of Easter cards that are colorful and fun. The intricate layered egg designs in the Forever Spring Eggs Die Set were so big and beautiful, I knew right away I wanted to make them the focal point of a pretty and sophisticated card.  With soft blended colors and metallic touches, I love how this card screams springtime!
