    Creating with Non-Traditional Colors Using the Holiday DIY Color Deck

    July 7, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of fun holiday cards made with non-traditional color schemes using the new Holiday DIY Color Deck Expansion Pack.  Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with the handful of colors I use on my holiday cards and the latest Color Deck cards gave me some really fun new looks to try! Floral Noel Card The Poinsettia Spray Die Set is one of my favorite holiday sets in my stash, but I have already pieced it together using a few color combinations and needed something new to try with it.  Here…

    Three Different Season Cards

    August 23, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again! If you’d like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel where I regularly post video tutorials. Today, I’m sharing three seasonal cards featuring the All Season Collection. I made cards for Spring, Autumn, and Winter, which are all included in this post. Winter I embossed the white cardstock using the Hexi Snowflake embossing folder of July 24. Then, I used the Emerald Cut Labels and Tag Die to die-cut Sage-colored cardstock to create the frame. After that,…

    Christmas Cardmaking using Contemporary Colours

    August 2, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello there crafters! Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m excited to be here to show you some ideas using the Home For The Holidays Collection. For my three cards today, I thought it would be fun to use modern, contemporary colors for a super pretty Christmas vibe. I love traditional colors at Christmas, but it’s always good to shake it up a little and I usually end up with a fairly even mix of styles. The Home For The Holidays Collection is a big one and it is packed with super fun dies, gorgeous press plates, beautiful sentiments, and an embossing folder that actually could…

    Non-Traditional Christmas in July

    July 31, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog. My favorite season for crafting and cardmaking is Christmas and I am thrilled to be working with the Home for the Holidays collection in the middle of super-hot July. There are so many amazing products in the Home for the Holidays collection that I had such a hard time choosing. Once I made my decision for the product I picked a color scheme and decided to go with a non-traditional palette. For the main colors I chose pinks, aquas, pale grays, greens, and accents of gold, but added other colors as I saw fit. Poinsettia…

This collection features lots of dies and press plates and I am using a few on my cards today. All my cards feature the color blue today.

    Mini Slimnline Trio Featuring Copperplate Holiday Sentiments

    July 23, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three cards using the Copperplate Holiday Sentiments Collection by Paul Antonio. These beautiful script sentiments can be used in lots of different ways, and I love that they are large, so take center stage on the cards! These are Press Plates but can be foiled too, as you will see from my cards. I decided to make mini slimline cards today (3.5” x 6”) as I felt the sentiments fitted well with that design, but they work perfectly for all shapes and sizes of cards too! MERRY CHRISTMAS For my first card,…
