    Hauntingly CUTE: Halloween Cards with Spoopy Hues

    August 17, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there my Spellbinders’ friends! My name is Jaycee Gaspar and I’m so excited to share three cards featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. This collection features an assortment of dies and BetterPress Press Plates that will make your Halloween feel magical. For that hauntingly cute feeling to these next three cards, I used a brighter blend of color palettes. I wanted something that felt fun and playful with a little magical element to them. This is perfect for those of you who love to experience Halloween as more of a cute Autumn holiday and not so scary. For my first card I did something very simple. You can never go…

    Happy Haunting

    August 16, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. I love making cute spooky cards and they don’t have to be just for Halloween. To create the dots with wax beads simply drop a small amount onto the silicone mat. It’s a great way to use up any extra melted wax on the spoon! Blend purple ink on a piece of Porcelain BetterPress A2 Card then impress with Spider Web Background Press Plate with the same ink. Adhere to an A2 card base. Die cut the image from Woof-or-Treat Etched Dies and assemble with liquid glue. Adhere to the card with foam tape. Create sentiment…

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. I love creating Halloween cards and, much like my cards for past collections like Boo Dance Party, I wanted to spark inspiration with a fun, non-traditional color palette. The Happy Haunting Collection includes so many fabulous products and I chose to feature Fiona the Dancin’ Witch, Woof-or-Treat and Witchin’ Heels. I may be sharing only three cards here but you’ll definitely see more from this collection. The color palette I’m using includes Pink Sand, Spiced Cider, Nectar, Pale Rose, Meadow, Peacock, Slate Gray, and Onyx cardstock. Also featured…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the BetterPress Fall and Halloween Collections from Spellbinders.  The beautiful autumn designs and fun Halloween icons and backgrounds in these collections inspired me to create three colorful cards with an elegant letterpress effect. Autumn Floral Corner Card I loved the collage of images in the Autumn Floral Corner Press Plate Set, so this was the first design I picked up.  With some bright autumn colors, I could easily bring a basic black press of this gorgeous image to life. I started by adding black BetterPress Ink to…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Betterpress Halloween collection. I made fun watercolor backgrounds playing with Distress inks and Distress Oxide inks. I love how they compliment the Betterpress plates. For my first card, I used the Pumpkins & Ghosts Background Press Plate. I started by adding some color to an A2 Bisque cotton card panel. I used several techniques on the background. First I wanted to add a base layer wash of color. I smooshed mini Distress ink cubes onto my glass mat and sprayed generously with water. Then,…
