    Expressions of Spring Collection – Easter Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    January 28, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Expressions of Spring Collection.  The elegant layered eggs, cute bunnies, and beautiful florals inspired me to create two different styles of Easter cards that are colorful and fun. The intricate layered egg designs in the Forever Spring Eggs Die Set were so big and beautiful, I knew right away I wanted to make them the focal point of a pretty and sophisticated card.  With soft blended colors and metallic touches, I love how this card screams springtime! Die cut kraft cardstock with the two largest dies in the…

    Expressions of Spring Card Set with Lea Lawson

    January 27, 2021 / No Comments

    Hi crafty friends! Lea Lawson here today to share a card set featuring the new products from the Expressions of Spring collection. There is something for everyone in this collection, with fantastic die sets and Glimmer Hot Foil products. Let’s take a look at how I created these cards! Happy Easter Card My first card features a lot of diecutting and some ink blending. I started by diecutting the Forever Spring Eggs six times from white cardstock: 3 solid eggs, and 3 decorative. I ink blended the solid eggs in pink, yellow & orange. I covered the decorative ones in Sparkle Dust and Sparkle Cuts, then layered them to the…

    November 5, 2020 / 2 Comments

    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…

    Expressions of Faith Collection Inspiration with Bibi Cameron

    October 19, 2020 / 2 Comments

    Hi from Scotland, this is Bibi Cameron here and for today I made a couple of projects using dies and glimmer plates from the new and absolutely gorgeous Spellbinders Faith Collection. This collection really touched my heart. I’m totally loving the sentiments as they are so perfect to make encouragement cards. Die Cut Cross Card For this card, I used Kaleidoscope Cross Etched Dies . First I die cut the pieces for the cross out of grey cardstock and white smooth cardstock. Then overlap the pieces and I glued in place. Using Essential Label Etched dies, I die cut a background panel out of white smooth cardstock 300 grams. Once…

Speak Fluent Fantastic My first card features the Glorious Mermaid for the main image.  I just love mermaid themed images, and this one is so fun –  I love how the tail loops around, I just had to make a circle card!

    October 7, 2020 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Stamp Camp Collection by Jane Davenport.  Many of the striking images in this collection are reminiscent of fashion sketches and this inspired me to create two clean and simple cards that focus on the strong characters that Jane so beautifully illustrated. I couldn’t wait to color the delicate mermaid image from the Glorious Mermaid stamp set and thought she deserved a deep sea to swim around in.  This clean and simple slimline card gives her plenty of space to roam, while keeping the focus on her.

    Hello crafty friends! I’m Jean, a papercrafter living in the Pacific Northwest blogging at Right as Rain. I am delighted to share three winter holiday cards showcasing the Christmas Foiled Basics Collection by Yana Smakula at Spellbinders. With this collection, you’ll create gorgeous, on-trend foiled cards. Grab some cocoa, put on some holiday music, and let’s take a look! You may recall that I am relatively new to foiling with the Glimmer Hot Foil System. This time around, I tried many different color combinations of foil and cardstock. With more experience under my belt, I was willing to foil several times on the same cardstock with different foil colors. At…

    September 3, 2020 / No Comments

    ​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…
