    Hi there, It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and I am honored to be guest designing for Spellbinders! Today I will show you some cards I made using the Glimmer Hot Foil system and some glimmer plates. I made four cards and they all feature some great sayings that I foiled on a card using the Glimmer hot foil system. First two cards are practically the same, the only thing different is the color of the foil. On the first one I used Teal and on the other one I used Rose gold foil that comes with the Glimmer machine. I used a gray patterned paper that I cut down to…

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m so excited to be here today with this sweet little die cut scene card featuring dies from several of the Die D-Lites collection dies! I paired components from the Build A Panda, Lady Bug Garden, and Picket Fence sets to build the scene shown below. A simple stenciled background and stamped greeting all on a Fancy Edged Rectangle makes this a super happy design! The background was die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using a Fancy Edged Rectangles Die. The edges of the rectangle were masked off with Post It Tape and the background was inked and stenciled with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced…

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m thrilled to be here today with a set of thank you cards featuring layered backgrounds created with the Fancy Edged Rectangles, Circles, and Ovals dies. Tone-on-tone cardstock creates beautiful layered backgrounds. A simple die cut greeting and a stamped sentiment phrase strip is all that’s needed to finish each of these cards. The Fancy Edged Rectangles, Circles, and Ovals were die cut from multiple colors of cardstock and layered to create the backgrounds for each of the cards. The images were stacked largest to biggest and adhered slightly hanging off the edge of a white card base. Any excess was trimmed off…

    Video Friday | Inked Terrarium Hello Card with Nichol

    May 4, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m thrilled to be here today with this die cut terrarium and greenery card. Adding detail to die cuts with ink is one of the easiest ways to immediately add depth and dimension to the images. Popping some of the images up with foam adhesive and layering additional greenery behind the terrarium give this card added interest. The background of the card was created by die cutting and embossing frames from dark gray cardstock using the Fancy Edges Rectangles. A sentiment was stamped and embossed on one of the panels and they were adhered to a white top fold card base as shown,…
