    Inspiration with Susan’s Garden Club Collection with Andrea Shell

    October 13, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hello!  It’s Andrea Shell back with you sharing three projects created with the gorgeous Susan’s Garden Club Collection.  For all of my projects, I followed Susan’s method of coloring (with Copics) and shaping the flowers as demonstrated in her videos on the Spellbinders YouTube channel.  I die cut all of the flowers from Susan’s Specialty Cardstock and used her Ultimate Tool Kit to shape the flowers. For my first card, I combined the cute rainboots from the Oriental Lilies and Wellies Dies with the flowers from the Gladiolus and Berry Picking Basket Dies.  When my daughter was little, she had a pair of pink, polka dot rainboots, so I patterned these…

    Hey there, crafty friends! I’m so excited to be back here on the Spellbinders blog today! My name is Suzanna, but you may know me online and Instagram as Made in Mojave. I’m sharing four mini slimline cards today that I created with the Halloween collection. Each one is a little mix of cute and spooky, my favorite Halloween combo! My first card is the most simple of the bunch, but also my favorite. Using a super versatile hot foil plate, I added Aura foiled stars to a black background. I added three varying size ghosts, then finished the card off with a “Spooky Greetings” sentiment. Next I created two…

    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.

    Hello, crafty friends! Its Marie here from the blog, MARIE NICOLE DESIGNS. I was so excited to see the new Celestial Zodiac collection.

There is such a fun collection, with fantastic stamps, stencils, Glimmer hot foil plates and even an embossing folder. Let’s take a look at how I created these cards! For my first card I embossed a panel of navy blue cardstock with the Stargazer embossing folder. Next I foiled the constellations from the Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn foiling sets in Aura colored foil. I stamped & heat embossed the sentiment from Starstruck Sentiments in white, then splattered the entire panel with white acrylic ink. Once the ink was…
