    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…

    September 9, 2021 / 1 Comment

    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…

    You’ll be seeing stars with today’s card making tips and tricks. Today in the Creative Classroom, Kim Kesti shares three ideas for creating a starry background on handmade cards. Sky Full of Stars Card Kim’s first card features the Glimmer Hot Foil System. If you’re new to hot foiling, you’ll love the tips that Kim shares in this video tutorial. To begin this card, Kim started with black Pearled Basics cardstock and the Mini Rainbow Stripe Foil. Foiling the Celestial Star Glimmer Plate twice onto the card base creates a shimmering rainbow of stars for the perfect background.

    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. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4.125” x 5.375”. Apply Speckled Prism Hot Foil to the panel using…

    Hello, crafty friends! Its Marie here from the blog, MARIE NICOLE DESIGNS. I was so excited to see the new Celestial Zodiac collection. It is full of starry, sparkly craft supplies that you can use to create gorgeous cards or other projects. I created a set of three cards with this collection and I’m excited to share them with you today! I wanted to create a set of cards that coordinate, but with each one being unique. I have found that the easiest way to make cards together that look like a set is to choose a few colors and stick with them. This way, they look like they all…

    Hi crafty friends! Lea Lawson here today to share a card set featuring the new products from the Celestial Zodiacs 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…
