    Reverse Foiling with Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes and Jung AhSang

    April 16, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung AhSang here, and I am so excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog.  If you’d like to follow my crafty projects, my blog is jungahsang.wordpress.com, and my Instagram is @junglebarrya. Today, I’m working with the Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes. I absolutely love the Glimmer Hot Foil system, and I always wanted to utilize the leftover foil from my projects. These glimmer solid shapes allow you to take advantage of that leftover foil.  There are 4 shapes: rectangle, square, oval, and circle. Reverse Diagonal Glimmer Stripes For my first card, I used the Essential Glimmer Solid Rectangle. I also used the…

    Reverse Foiling Ideas with Michelle Short and Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection

    April 13, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here with some inspiration using the new Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection. This is such a fun collection as you get to use up all of your scraps after foiling. There are so many different designs that work with reverse foiling. I love that these are shapes, but you can also cut your own shapes too! I have used the circle, rectangle (in a slightly different way!), and square today but there is also an oval. I found that I got great results by heating up the Glimmer Hot Foil System platform twice and also using the hinge method for foiling – by taping down the…

    Yana’s Blooms Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    January 20, 2022 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Yana’s Blooms Collection by Yana Smakula.  The gorgeous florals, versatile backgrounds and borders, and pretty sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three bold cards with tons of gold foiling. Magnolia Blooms Thank You Card Magnolias are one of my favorite early spring flowers and I couldn’t wait to use all of the beautiful versions of them in this collection. Here I’ve cut and colored the Magnolia Blooms design and added it to a pretty foiled background for this bright thank you card. Trim…

    Precision Layering Basics with Jennifer Kotas

    January 19, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Hello! My name is Jen Kotas and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got three cards to share with you made using the new Precision Layering Basics Dies. What wonderful sets of basic dies to ensure straight edges and perfect measurements every time. When using the A and B sets together to make a 1/16” frame, you’ll need to die cut them separately. I found it easier to cut the smaller die first, then line up the larger one and cut. It is possible, however, to cut the larger one first. Die-cut largest Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies from white cardstock and emboss…

    Yana’s Blooms by Yana Smakula – Collection Introduction

    January 17, 2022 / 8 Comments

    Hello, crafters. This is Yana Smakula, I’m thrilled to introduce my new collection with Spellbinders called Yana’s Blooms. I designed this collection with elegant Spring Birthday card making in mind. I give a lot of Birthday cards and my friends and family always ask me to make and give them some birthday cards for them to gift to their friends, thus I never have any on hand and this is the one type of card I need the most. This collection includes 7 products, 5 of them – hot foil glimmer plates and 2 – dies. S4-1169 MAGNOLIA BLOOMS DIE SET Magnolia is the design around the entire collection. I…
