    Destinations Japan Inspiration | Cardmaking Ideas with Mayline

    March 19, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafty friends! This is Mayline and I am honored and excited to be returning with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog! Today I have a few projects to share with you using the Destinations Japan Collection by Lene Lok. When I saw the collection I immediately fall in love because all the collection’s themes are Japanese traditional pattern, cloths, buildings and so on. Also, another reason is my husband is from Japan. Thus, this collection is closely related to me. That is why I was so excited to play with this Collection. Here is my first card using Sakura Blossoms Dies and Waves Dies. This card can be…

    May 29, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Hello everyone! This is Mayline and I am honoured to be guest designer for Spellbinders! Today I have three projects to share with you using the Jane Davenport NEW Artomology collection. As always, this collection is incredibly beautiful and amazing, so I truly enjoyed to make all projects. DREAM MIXED MEDIA PIECE It’s an 8.5×11 sized mixed media piece. It was a challenge for me to combine  various images, and use a different kind of colouring tools in the large area. So, it would be more of a process than my usual card designs but, I did it and it was worth it! And it turned out beautifully. INSTRUCTIONS: To…

You can see the five new designs here. In this post I’ll be showcasing three of them! First up the gorgeous Flower Pattern Glimmer Hot Foil Plate, which is my favorite!

    Hello Spellbinders friends. My name is Anna Komenda and I am over the moon happy to be back as a Guest Designer for this wonderful company. This time I had a great pleasure to work with new Glimmer Hot Foil System. To say I am in love with it is not enough. Quality of foiling with this machine is fantastic and foiled elements look so professional. I wouldn’t be myself if I wouldn’t try to incorporate foiling into the layout. When it comes to this machine there is no limitation on the size of the paper you want to add foiling on. However, the size of your die cutting machine…

    Hi friends! This is Mayline, thank you for joining me today. This is my last post with projects I made using Jane Davenport Artomology collection. Today I am sharing two cards and one mixed media. Let’s take a look at my first card. To start off, I stamped flower girl images and poppy images from Flower Girls Clear Stamps and Poppy Girl Clear Stamps using a masking technique on some white cardstock. I coloured them using Smooth Markers – Feathered Friends (EGG, FLOCK, HATCHLING, CREST, NEST, HOVER, WING) and Mermesmerizing (LORIKEET, MOUNTAIN GEM). I then stamped circles from Mad Confetti Clear Stamps using Squid Ink Gold Bullion. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from Mad Confetti Clear Stamps on the panel.…
