    Beyond the Wedding Season with Jean Manis

    July 6, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! I’m Jean, a papercrafter living in the Pacific Northwest blogging at Right as Rain. I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three cards created with the Wedding Season Collection by Nichol Spohr. My cards illustrate how the collection can be used for occasions other than weddings. Additionally, I show how materials other than cardstock add shine, texture, and visual interest. Let’s take a look! On my first card, I created a masculine Congratulations card for someone landing a job. With the Wedding Dress & Tux set, I cut the suit from gray flannel and the shirt from a linen-textured white cardstock. I cut…

    Die D-Lites Inspiration | Elephant Festival Cards with Jean Manis

    November 19, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Hello! I’m Jean Manis, a papercrafter blogging at Right as Rain. I am delighted to be on the blog today sharing projects created with supplies from the November Die D-Lites release. On all three cards, the focal point is the Elephant Festival set. One of my favorite things to do as a designer is to explore the different ways in which the same image can be portrayed. On the cards I’m showing today, I’ve varied the color schemes and added elements from other sets in the November Die D-Lites release; I’ve also introduced gold on two of the cards and added texture with a dry-embossed background on one. On the…

    Hello there crafty friends, Zsoka here with you today, sharing a few cards that I’ve created with the adorable Happy collection by Sharyn Sowell. This collection is full of birthday themed products, which is great because I never seem to have enough birthday cards in my stash! You will find dies as well as Glimmer Hot Foil plates in this line. This was my first time using the Glimmer Hot Foil system actually, or foiling of any kind for that matter! So much fun! First up a card duo I’ve made with the Celebrate with Cake Etched Dies. All my cards in this post are mounted on an A2 size…

    September 14, 2018 / 8 Comments

    Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m so excited to be sharing a set of three Christmas cards featuring dies from the 2018 Holiday Die D-Lites Collection. I die cut the Die D-Lites Reindeer, Santa, and Snowman Dies from smooth white cardstock and colored in the pieces with Copic Markers before assembling and adhering to a Fancy Edged Oval. The Copic coloring gives these die cuts so much depth and dimension and is a great way to customize your die cuts! The backgrounds for all three cards were created by stamping a plaid background builder stamp on smooth white cardstock with light gray ink and either red, green, or…

    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…

    Hello friends, Zsoka here with you today, sharing a bunch of new cards using the wonderful Special Moments Collection by Marisa Job! If you missed my first blog post featuring some items from this collection, click here! All 4 of my cards are assembled on an A2 size top folding card base. For the first one I used a die set I also used on a card in my previous post, the gorgeous Floral Oval Dies. This time I die cut the crescent shape from textured card stock and the lattice oval from patterned paper. To add more layers of ovals, I also used another set that I seem to use…

    Hello, there! It’s Marge here with you today again. Have you enjoyed my previous posts for Spellbinders New Classics March Collection? As the third theme for this week, I’m going to share how to use die cut layering to create dimensions on your card. Here are the examples that I made geometric blossoms using various nested circle-shaped dies. By doing this, you can also build up your favorite color palette on the card. To begin the first card, I made various sizes of die cuts out of several colors of papers using Fancy Scallop Edge Circles Dies. I gave them color gradation from yellow to orange and brown by selecting…

    Hello, everyone ! This is Marge and I’m so honored to be invited as a guest designer for Spellbinders Classics March Collection this week. Introducing myself a little, I’m a passionate card maker, and I’m currently participating in the design team for Pretty Pink Posh. As you all have seen, the Spellbinders Classics March Collection is full of basic frame dies with various striped, dotted or scalloped borders, which would be perfect background frames for your projects. But that’s not all they do. From now on, I’ll be sharing how to use creatively the classical frames throughout 3 days of posts here on Spellbinder’s blog. Today’s topic is making beautiful…
