The Amazing Jack of All Trades Collection (and a Nod to Best Ever Craft Tape)
Joan Bardee here. I’m delighted to share the amazing and unique Jack of All Trades Collection. Designed by the talented Jaycee Gaspar, the theme of this collection is about playing cards. While each item in the collection can be used on its own, this is a collection where “having it all” makes sense as the products work beautifully together for both male and female-themed cards. As of the time I am writing this, Spellbinders is offering the entire collection in a discounted bundle. Please look at Jaycee’s samples with this collection. Truly breathtaking! Jack of All Trades Collection is available on January 10th While I was making these cards, I…

House Mouse Sweet Moments Trio

I love these images, especially watercoloring them in mini scenes. I often find that they are an odd shape and don’t conform to regular dies though, so today I have an idea to share with you using the awesome Spellbinders Notch Punch to create your own layered effect. I started by cutting pieces of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to fit each scene and then stamped my images and sentiments with VersaFine ink. I knew I was going to watercolor and this…

Emboss Like A Boss and Add Pretty Floral Accents
Hello there, Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m so excited to share three ideas using the Beveled Sentiments A2 Cardfronts Collection. There are four 3D embossing folders in this release – Happy Birthday, Thanks, Hello, and A Gift For You. I really like the crisp, clean, and modern style of these folders. As the sentiments are big and bold, they take centre stage and look great even with just some simple ink blending but I went a slightly different way with my cards today.
