    Emboss Like A Boss and Add Pretty Floral Accents

    October 4, 2024 / 1 Comment

    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. From Me To You My first card uses the Beveled Hello A2 Cardfront 3D Embossing Folder and I decorated it with…

    May 14, 2024 / 6 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends, I’m Adrienne Boese and you can find me online as Alice Scraps Wonderland both on Instagram and on my blog. Today I’m going to be sharing some ideas for monochromatic cards, specifically, how to add texture and dimension, especially when you are working with a single color of cardstock for your card. There are a few ways you can add texture and dimension, but one that is really is by using dimensional stickers, like the Timeless Butterfly collection, which are the feature of this set of cards! The layered wings are perfect for adding depth to any project. Some other ways that you’ll see showcased in these…

    March 20, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of colorful cards made with the new Let’s Celebrate Collection by Yana Smakula. The gorgeous floral designs and sweet sentiments in the collection inspired me to create three cards in pretty spring color schemes for all different occasions. Birthday In Blues Card The floral design in the Peony Background Press Plate is so intricate it reminded me a little of toile, so I inked it in several different shades of blue to create a backdrop for this fun floral birthday card. Apply Cruise, Teal Topaz, Azure, and Cosmic Sky BetterPress…

    March 19, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today on the Spellbinders blog, and I’m thrilled to be sharing some inspiration using the utterly luscious new collection from Yana Smakula called Let’s Celebrate. Yana’s signature style with elegant florals and beautiful calligraphic sentiments is laced throughout this collection, and it was a true pleasure to play with! The shining star of the collection, for me at least, is the divine Peony Better Press Plate. The Better Press Plates work beautifully with both the Better Press system and the Glimmer Hot Foil System, and both methods work incredibly well with this exquisitely detailed press plate. Whenever I am creating a card set,…
