The Victorian Garden Collection – Spring Card Inspiration with Annie Williams
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 Victorian Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. The beautiful new floral designs and fun containers in this collection inspired me to create three bright springtime cards for different occasions. Lavender Slimline Card I love the look and smell of real lavender so I wanted to try to make my own paper versions with this set first. Here I added a few floral stems to a pretty blue mason jar along with some leafy fillers for this pretty slimline card for a friend. I wanted to give…

I’m also going to share some tips for using stitching dies for those of you with little to no experience with them (that’s me!). Warning: it’s addictive.

Wax Seal Cards Ideas with Sealed For Spring and Marie Heiderscheit
Hello, crafty friends! I’m Marie Heiderscheit and I blog and share my creations at Marie Nicole Designs.

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…

Anemone Blooms, a Trio of Cards
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and today, I’m sharing 3 cards that I made using the new Anemone Blooms collection by Yana Smakula. Yellow Foiled Anemones For my first card, I used the Anemone Glimmer Blooms as the focal point. First, I foiled the Anemone Glimmer Blooms hot foil plate on smooth white cardstock with polished brass foil. While my Glimmer machine was hot, I foiled all the sentiments from the Hello, Friend Sentiments as well as the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments on smooth white cardstock with satin gold foil. Next, I used the coordinating die to die-cut the Anemone Blooms image, and then colored the image with Copic…

Color with Cardstock – Anemone Blooms Cardmaking Ideas with Joan Bardee
I am delighted to share 3 ways (plus 2 bonus cards) to use the Anemone Blooms Collection, designed by the amazing Yana Smakula. Is it intimidating to use Yana’s products on a Spellbinders blog post? You bet it is, but here it goes anyway! I love big bold anything, so these flowers stole my heart. I wasn’t familiar with anemones and a quick online search revealed that they come in a huge variety of colors. So, use whatever colors you love; for me – pink is my first love. Hot Foiled Anemone Blooms If you are looking for maximum impact with minimal effort, just hot foil the Anemone Glimmer Blooms…

Introducing Anemone Blooms Collection by Yana Smakula
I’m very excited to introduce you to my new collection with Spellbinders called Anemone Blooms. Similar to the collection I did last year, Yana’s Blooms, I designed Anemone Blooms with elegant floral card-making in mind. The theme for this collection is Birthday and Friendships and all of the sentiments in this line center around that. This is a smaller collection featuring just 5 products, some of which are dies and some glimmer plates. All of these work with my previously released products, especially Yana’s Blooms collection. So if you already have some of Yana’s Blooms and you pick up products from Anemone Blooms you can mix the products, especially the…
