    Rainbows and Shine with the Shine Bright Collection

    October 19, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Shine Bright Collection by Carissa Wiley. This is such a fun collection featuring disco balls and amazing sentiments. I paired this up with the Silver Assortment Treasured Cardstock Pack for some bright and shiny cards. When I use press plate or glimmer sentiments, I usually create all of them multiple times. For these instructions I’ve said to create the sentiment but usually, I had the sentiments ready to go. Hot foil the Sparkle Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate on Onyx Cardstock using Speckled Prism Hot Foil Roll. Rotate glimmer plate and repeat of other half of panel. Hot foil the…

    Celestial Zodiacs Collection – Clean and Simple Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    February 5, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Celestial Zodiacs Collection. The twinkling star patterns, majestic moon image, and gorgeous sentiments inspired me to create three clean and simple cards for a variety of occasions. XOXO Zodiac Card The twelve zodiac foil plate sets in the collection are perfect for birthday cards and tags, but I thought they could also be used to make a fun and unique wedding or love card for a stargazing friend.

    Expressions of Faith Collection – Easy Holiday Cards with Annie Williams

    October 17, 2020 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Faith Collection from Spellbinders. The intricate cross designs in this collection are stunning when assembled, so I paired them with simple backgrounds and just a few embellishments to really let them shine in these two holiday cards. I thought the gorgeous details on the Kaleidoscope Cross would look beautiful in layers of gold and white.  Once assembled, I draped a swag of lilies around it for a simple and elegant Easter card. Die cut the components of the Kaleidoscope Cross, using gold metallic cardstock for the top…
