    Maximalism Scrapbooking: Playing with Pattern, Texture and Embellishments

    May 28, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! I’m Adrienne Boese, better known as Alice Scraps Wonderland online. Today I want to share with you a couple of layout ideas using the Hello It’s Me! collection by Rosie’s Studio. The papers in this collection are so fun and bold, and I thought it would be the perfect collection to use a maximalist style with. What is maximalism? It’s a design philosophy that embraces the “more is more” approach. It features bold colors, mixed patterns, rich textures, and is the total opposite of minimalism.

    Creating Cheerful Cards Using the International Sentiments (German) Collection

    February 25, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! Isha Gupta here and I am so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog featuring the International Sentiments (German). I’ve been wanting some sentiments in German for my friends here and these are simply perfect. There is a press plate included which I used to foil the sentiments. I kept the color palette similar for all three cards and wanted to share we can still get a different look. Gute Besserung Card This means “Get Well Soon” in German. This is something I would like to keep in my stash, especially during the flu season. I went for a soft feel using pastels and cheerful colors. I…

    Magic and Happiness All Around

    September 14, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi, Friends! I am Andrea Lake and I love recording memories in creative ways. I enjoy making colorful mini albums and scrapbook layouts adding a lot of texture and dimension. I also love flowers and I believe everything is better when you add a little bit of pixie dust. I had the best time working with some of the metal dies from the Storytelling collection by Spellbinders. One of my favorite products from Spellbinders are their stitching dies. They are great for adding dimension and texture to any project. I played with the Stitched Petal Bloom Die to create the focal embellishment of my page. I selected neutral patterned papers…

    Hi folks, Kavya from @handmadebykavya is here with some fun inspiration for Dawn Bibby’s new collection  – Peacock Paradise. I love peacocks.
