    Creating Super Fun Layered Designs and Incorporating Sparkle Into Your Cards

    June 19, 2024 / 4 Comments

    Hello there crafters! Lisa Tilson is here with you today on the Spellbinders blog and as always, I am excited to be here! Today we are going to be taking a look at the super fun Tunnel Scapes Collection designed by Vicky Papaioannou. I have absolutely loved working with this fun, playful collection. I think the modern, quirky vibe of the three tunnel scape sets is so unique and the opportunities to play with color and design are endless. The collection consists of three sets of etched dies which allow you to create these flowing layered tunnels. You then have a plethora of different options to add to the tunnels,…

    Crafting With Doodlebug – Cardmaking Ideas You Need To Try

    August 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a bunch of cards made with some of the beautiful Doodlebug products available in the Spellbinders shop. I paired many of the brightly colored cards and envelopes, sweet patterned papers, and fun washi tapes and embellishments with some of my favorite Spellbinders dies to create cards for many different kinds of occasions. Mailbox Thank You Card I hear a lot of crafters say that they love patterned paper, but struggle to use it on their projects sometimes, especially those with bolder colors and patterns. Here I turned a bright stripe pattern into…

    Sealed for Summer – Floral Cards with Leica Palma

    June 29, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m thrilled to share with you my lovely floral cards using the Sealed For Summer Collection from Spellbinders. I’ve created three cards with a floral theme, and I’m excited to send them to my friends. Glimmer Bouquet Hi Card Let’s start with my first card. I used the Essential Modern Ovals Etched Dies to cut out ovals in different colors of cardstock. Then, I added a touch of elegance by hot foiling the Glimmer Bouquet Hot Foil Plate in gold on Snowdrift cardstock and cutting it with the coordinating die. The large bouquet makes a stunning focal point. I also used the Glimmer…

    Hexi-Gems Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    May 25, 2023 / 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 Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders. I loved playing with different ways to use this fun new shape in my cardmaking and was inspired to create a couple of pretty cards in three different styles. Sleek and Modern Friendship Card Since we’re working with “gems” here, I pulled out my favorite color of Glimmer Hot Foil to use with the new Hexi-Gem Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.  Moondust Hot Foil creates an amazing iridescent finish that reminds me of blue topaz.  Here I did some simple foiling for…
