    Shaking It Up using Shaker Domes & Pretty Mixes!

    October 28, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there Spellbinders friends! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m so excited to be here as a guest and I am sharing three shaker cards using the fabulous Shaker Domes. I love to make shakers, so these cards were really fun to create and the Shaker Domes make it very easy to make them. There are five different-shaped domes in this collection; Arch, Stylish Oval, Emerald Cut, Fresh Picked and Hexi-Gem. They work with the coordinating die sets, so everything is super easy to put together! The dome itself is approx. 0.38” high so you have plenty of room to add different-sized shaker mixes…

    April 16, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there Spellbinders friends! Lisa Tilson here from My Card Trip and I am excited to be back here with you on the Spellbinders blog. Today I have some cards to share using the More Fresh Picked Collection. I really loved the first Fresh Picked Collection so I was delighted to be asked to make some more cards for you using the latest release. There are three new floral sets and they are all super pretty. I think they are very simple to use and they definitely come together pretty quickly if you follow the intended design. The new sets have the same style as the first collection – big,…

    Faux Stitching Ideas To Try with Your Stitching Dies

    December 3, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! This is Lisa from My Card Trip and I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today. I am sharing a fun and simple way to get the look of stitching on your cards, without the need for actual stitching with thread! It is surprisingly easy and very quick to do. Many stitching dies can actually be used without any threads at all, as the patterns are often still really pretty with all the tiny holes. However, you can also add faux stitching with pens to give you a similar look to thread. I am going to be sharing one card in detail today but…

    Kaleidoscope Arch – Versatile Products Rock!

    November 14, 2023 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here. Today I’m sharing a few cards using the Kaleidoscope Arch Collection. This collection has a little bit of everything – beautiful dies, a coordinating clear stamp set, and a gorgeous BetterPress LetterPress plate. I love products that can be used in different ways. Versatility keeps us from getting bored and stretches our crafty dollars. Here are a few ideas. Quick and Elegant Sympathy Card Confession: I rarely make sympathy cards. My cards seemed too “crafty” for such a solemn occasion. But the BetterPress LetterPress produces professional quality results – one that is worthy of a sympathy card. Ink up the Kaleidoscope Flowers Press Plate with…
