Susan’s Autumn Flora Collection – A Trio of Autumn Cards with Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Susan’s Autumn Flora Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. There is really something magical about turning plain white cardstock into a beautiful and realistic bloom. After working with several of the die sets to build a variety of flowers, leaves, and foliage, I arranged them into three bright bunches to create these autumn cards. This first card is the simplest of the three and perfect if you are new to paper flower crafting. Using the Woodland Garden Leaves die set, I created a pile of leaves in bright colors…

Glimmery Holidays with Jean Manis

Sparkling Christmas Inspiration – Foiled Cardmaking Ideas with Jenny
Hi there fellow crafters, it’s Jenny from JCCards here! I’m excited to be guesting here on the Spellbinders blog, sharing two card projects I created using the gorgeous new Sparkling Christmas collection. Both of my projects today use Glimmer plates from the collection and I was inspired by some of the gorgeous colors of glimmer foils available that aren’t what you think of as traditional Christmas colors. For those of you who haven’t started a Glimmer collection, believe me the effect is stunning, and I’m addicted. If you haven’t used the Glimmer Hot Foil System before (or even if you have), I highly recommend you check out the Spellbinders YouTube…
