    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!…

    Holiday Floral Swag 3 Ways – Christmas Inspiration With Michelle Short

    October 25, 2022 / 10 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Christmas Collection. My post today focuses on using Holiday Floral Swag in three different ways. WHITE-ON-WHITE ORNAMENT For my first project, I wanted to go with a simple white-on-white card. I love the look of white on white and the embossing really enhances it! I started off by running a panel of white cardstock through my Platinum 6 inside the Holiday Floral Swag 3D Embossing Folder. It was then adhered to the front of an A2 white card base. For my focal point, I die-cut the Nordic Ornament from white and gold glitter cardstock (for the topper) and adhered…

    September 9, 2022 / 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 Holiday 3D Embossing Folders from Spellbinders. The gorgeous and versatile designs in this collection inspired me to create three bright and pretty holiday cards with tons of texture. Gilded Poinsettia Card The beautiful all-over pattern of the Scenic Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder is perfect for so many inking or coloring techniques but also looks great as-is.  Here I applied a light layer of gold wax to the pattern for this simple and pretty holiday card for a friend. Trim a piece of Phone Booth Cardstock…

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the new Celebrate the Season Collection. This is a wonderful collection of dies, stamps, hot foil plates, and embossing folders perfect for the holiday season. WINTER SLED CARD For my first card, I started off by die-cutting the elements from Winter Welcome Sled. This set is so fun to put together! The sled can be used on its own but paired with the ice skates it makes for a fun winter card. I adhered the pieces of the sled and ice skates, first and adhered them together using Bearly Art Glue. The sled adhered to an A2 white card base…
