Painter’s Garden Inspiration with Jennifer Kotas
Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be here today to share three cards featuring the Painter’s Garden Collection from Susan Tierney Cockburn. There are five new flower Dies in this collection along with a 3D Embossing Folder. Susan typically colors her flowers with Copic Markers and uses a special cardstock from Spellbinders. I prefer to cut my flower pieces from heavy-weight colored cardstock from Spellbinders. I added detail to the flowers with ink. It’s a time saver but I also love how the cardstock softens as I shape it but doesn’t tear. For detailed instructions on creating the flowers, please visit the Spellbinders…

Trio of Floral Reflection Collection Cards with Jung AhSang
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am so happy to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the Floral Reflection collection. I love all the florals in the collection, and especially the heart dies!

Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from whostolemyglitter.com and I’m happy to be here today to share three Floral Reflection Collection easel cards.

Wax Seal Collection on Handmade Cards with Jung AhSang
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the new Wax Seal collection. This was such a fun collection to work with! There are a couple methods to work with the wax seals. You can pour the wax, and seal them directly on your project. You can also make the wax seals on the silicone mat that comes with the wax seal kit, and then adhere them to your project. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I made my wax seals on the silicone mat. That way, I…
