    Shaking It Up using Shaker Domes & Pretty Mixes!

    October 28, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there Spellbinders friends! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m so excited to be here as a guest and I am sharing three shaker cards using the fabulous Shaker Domes. I love to make shakers, so these cards were really fun to create and the Shaker Domes make it very easy to make them. There are five different-shaped domes in this collection; Arch, Stylish Oval, Emerald Cut, Fresh Picked and Hexi-Gem. They work with the coordinating die sets, so everything is super easy to put together! The dome itself is approx. 0.38” high so you have plenty of room to add different-sized shaker mixes…

    Believe In The Magic! Creating With A Traditional Colour Palette

    July 24, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m thrilled to be here to share some ideas with the fabulous Copperplate Holiday Sentiments release. In this collection, you have seven different Christmas/New Year sentiments to choose from, along with a gift tag press plate. I have chosen to go with a traditional red, white gold, and green color palette for my cards today. I love to use different and maybe surprising contemporary colours at Christmas but I also love the familiarity and warm fuzzy feeling from traditional colors! Merry Christmas All the Copperplate sentiments have the most beautiful script font, at least in my eyes!…

    Hi everyone! It’s Jean Doeringsfeld and I’m super excited to be a guest on the Spellbinders Blog. Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite techniques for using Karin markers. This is a super easy watercolor technique that will help you learn about how the markers work and create stunning results every time. I have 3 cards to share with you today – the first two use the Karin markers to watercolor die cuts and the 3rd shows how to apply the same method to a BetterPress image (or any image, really).
