    Glimmer Essentials Collection – Springtime Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    February 19, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Glimmer Essentials Collection from Spellbinders.  The Essential Duo Line Glimmer plates create the perfect accent border for any background, sentiment, or focal image and I was inspired to create two bright springtime cards combining all of the different shapes. Simple circle borders are always the perfect backdrop for a rustic wreath, so I created this cheerful floral birthday card using both the Essential Duo Line Glimmer Circles and Squares. Apply Gold Hot Foil to navy blue cardstock using the two largest plates from the Essential Duo Line…

    Modern Essentials Inspiration | Hot Foiled Card with Brenda

    February 26, 2020 / No Comments

    Hey there everyone!! This is Brenda, from MyPaperCut Creations. I am absolutely thrilled to be guest posting for Spellbinders today!! I have three cards to share with you today featuring the new Modern Essentials Collection! Thanks For All You Do Card I pulled out all of my iridescent foils and got to work!! This first card showcases several of the Modern Essentials Collection with the Prism Foil. I began by hot foiling one of the Essential Glimmer Rectangles Foil Plates, a sentiment from More Sentiments and a butterfly from Glimmering Butterflies onto white cardstock using the Prism Foil. I die-cut the butterfly and sentiment with the included dies. I ran…

    October 9, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Hello friends! It’s Keeway from Kiwi Koncepts and I’m here to share with you some projects featuring the NEW October Glimmer Plate Collection! I absolutely love gold foiling with this machine and the results are always stunning. The more I work with it, the easier it gets and it opens up for me to try these techniques with it. Today there will be lots of foiling and ink blending! Thank You So Very Much Card When I started to learn how to use the glimmer machine, I found it easiest to work with heat foil images that I could also die cut after. It was easy to remove small amounts…

    October 8, 2019 / No Comments

    Hey, y’all! I’m Niki, the blogger behind Cardstoq Blog, and I’m SO happy to be guest designing here on the Spellbinders Blog. I don’t know about you, but fall colors are making their way into my craft room as a “cold front” is moving into Texas soon. And by cold front, I mean 85F. It’s not cold by a long shot, but a girl can dream. I wanted to incorporate some rich reds, oranges, and golds into the things I’ve been making, and the October Glimmer Plate Collection worked beautifully with these colors. So hang on to your craft aprons, I have three card projects to share with you today!…

    Hello, Spellbinder’s friends! It’s Marie here from Marie Nicole Designs. I am excited to share a few glimmered cards with you featuring the October Glimmer Plates from Spellbinders! There are several fun new sets to work with, and I love that some of the sets also have coordinating dies so you can Glimmer and then die cut to arrange on a card. Thank You So Very Much Card I’ll be sharing several cards with you today, but my first card features the Glimmering Layered Flowers set. I started this card by Glimmering all the flowers and leaves onto some Bristol smooth cardstock using Copper foil from Spellbinders. Then, I used…
