    Retro Dance Party – Inspired Cards Featuring Shine Bright Collection by Carissa Wiley

    October 26, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the disco-themed Shine Bright Collection by Carissa Wiley. In my youth, I spent a fair share of my time dancing in nightclubs and going to karaoke bars with friends. It was great exercise and a lot of fun! Carissa’s new collection makes me want to get back on the dance floor, even if that’s just in my house and I’m alone. LOL When I first saw these products, I immediately thought “SPARKLE”! I’m definitely going to use lots of sparkle on these cards. How could I not? The disco balls inspired a…

    Seasonal Cards Featuring the All Seasons Collection

    August 24, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring All Seasons Collection. At first look, this collection may appear to be for scrapbooking enthusiasts but I’m here to show you how easily they can be used for card making. For those of you who use traveler’s notebooks for journalling and memory keeping will notice that this format is great for inserting into one of the traveler’s notebook pages. I decided to make not just three but four mini slimline cards to showcase one for each season to feature the Four Seasons dies. I had so many ideas in my head so…

    November 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hi everyone! It’s Jean Doeringsfeld and I’m super excited to be a guest on the Spellbinders Blog. Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite techniques for using Karin markers. This is a super easy watercolor technique that will help you learn about how the markers work and create stunning results every time. I have 3 cards to share with you today – the first two use the Karin markers to watercolor die cuts and the 3rd shows how to apply the same method to a BetterPress image (or any image, really). Step 1 (for All Cards):  Start by swatching the markers to determine which colors you want for your project…

    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 Sweet Cardlets II Collection by Becca Feeken.  The beautiful heartfelt sentiments and sweet images in this collection inspired me to create three cheerful cards for a variety of occasions. I thought the lighthouse image in the Shine Your Light Glimmer Plate Set was so pretty and perfect for summertime cards. By adding a different sentiment, I created a clean and simple friendship card. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 4”. Apply Moondust Hot Foil to the bottom of the panel using the…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Stamp Camp Collection by Jane Davenport.  Many of the striking images in this collection are reminiscent of fashion sketches and this inspired me to create two clean and simple cards that focus on the strong characters that Jane so beautifully illustrated. I couldn’t wait to color the delicate mermaid image from the Glorious Mermaid stamp set and thought she deserved a deep sea to swim around in.  This clean and simple slimline card gives her plenty of space to roam, while keeping the focus on her.

    February 28, 2020 / No Comments

    Hello, and happy Friday! Niki here today from cardstoq.com, and I have a set of thank you cards to share with you. Each one features elements from the Modern Essentials collection, which is now one of my most favorite releases from Spellbinders. The sets coordinate with each other so you can mix and match to suit your project, and they are perfect for creating a professional, clean edge on your cards. I do a lot of floral projects in my crafting, whether I stamp, freehand draw, paint, or create some form of paper sculpture. Making the floral elements is easy, though. The struggle always comes with how to frame the designs,…

    Hi from Scotland, I hope you are doing well. This is Bibi Cameron and today I’m sharing three simple card ideas using Foiled Basics Collection designed by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders. Yana is not only a very talented and skilled papercraft artist and I’m thankful for her as she introduced me to the word of glimmer! This was a whole brand new thing to me and the first time I used the hot foil system I glimmered everything except the cardstock lol. I guess I was impatient and distracted. Soon I realized that this is way easier than we might with just a bit of practice you will be able…

I will be sharing three projects created using the gorgeous Glimmer plates designed by Paul Antonio for 2019 Holidays collection. All my projects are very quick and easy to make, but just the designs of the plates make them extra special. For my first project, I made a round shaped card.
