    Crafting with Vivant Ribbons, Cords and Twines

    October 8, 2023 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards made with some of the beautiful new ribbons, cords, and twines from Vivant available in the Spellbinders shop.  I chose my favorite ribbon techniques and paired them with some gorgeous Spellbinders products to create these three easy cards with tons of texture and a little something extra. Floral Wax Seal Card With all of the beautiful wax seal products released recently, it would be hard to craft with ribbons and not consider using this technique first.  Here I paired a floral bouquet and wax seal with a couple…

    Hexi-Gems Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    May 25, 2023 / 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 Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders. I loved playing with different ways to use this fun new shape in my cardmaking and was inspired to create a couple of pretty cards in three different styles. Sleek and Modern Friendship Card Since we’re working with “gems” here, I pulled out my favorite color of Glimmer Hot Foil to use with the new Hexi-Gem Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.  Moondust Hot Foil creates an amazing iridescent finish that reminds me of blue topaz.  Here I did some simple foiling for…

    Hello everyone, this is Lisa Tilson from My Card Trip and I am thrilled to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today. I will be featuring the gorgeous new Hexi-Gems Collection and have three cards to share with you.
