    Autumn Garden & Foliage Cards

    October 25, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello and welcome, creative friends! It’s Dilay here from JustCallMeDee.com, and I’m thrilled to return for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog! Today, I’ll be showcasing a few projects featuring the beautiful Birds & Bees Garden collection. I hope you find my creations inspiring and feel motivated to get crafty. Let’s dive right in! Autumn Foliage Hugs For the first card, I created a subtle yet dimensional background by die-cutting a frame using two of the largest Precision A2 Layering dies. Then, I die-cut another piece of white cardstock with the third largest of the Essential Four Petal Labels dies and embossed it using the Basket of Sunflowers 3D…

    October 17, 2022 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Laurie Willison here today with some retro-style cards using the new Joyful Christmas Collection from Simon Hurley and Spellbinders.  These new dies and hot plates are so much fun to work with and are sure to add some serious shine to your cards.   Geo Snowflakes Merry Christmas Card For my first card, I used the new Geo Snowflakes Hot Foil Plate to create the silver foiled background. I layered the card panel onto a piece of Red Glitter Foam Sheets for some extra sparkle and dimension.  Using the dies from the Floral Stag Die Set, I created a little bunch of poinsettias for the centerpiece of…

    Ink Blending Over Holiday 3D Folders with Jennifer Kotas

    September 7, 2022 / No Comments

    Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from whostolemyglitter.com and I’m happy to be here today to share three cards featuring ink blending over the new Holiday 3D Folders. There are two 3D folders in the collection that feature such wonderful texture and dimension. I ran white cardstock and the Holiday 3D Folders through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting Machine before adding ink. I love the way the ink settles into all the layers and grooves of a 3D embossed design. Die cut white cardstock with largest Precision Layering A2 A Etched Die then run through Platinum 6 Machine with Scenic Poinsettia 3D Folder. Blend a light red dye ink over the entire…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Laurie Willison here with some awesome new holiday cards. The dies are all new, from the Celebrate The Season Collection at Spellbinders. I had so much fun playing with all the new Christmas goodies, so I whipped up 3 cards to share with you today. Winter Welcome Sled Card The new Winter Welcome Sled Etched Die set is an amazing group of dies to create so many looks. I love the basic sled and all you can add to it, to create clean and simple or super detailed. Today’s card was super simple to make. I used a red card base with a white layer of…

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the new Celebrate the Season Collection. This is a wonderful collection of dies, stamps, hot foil plates, and embossing folders perfect for the holiday season. WINTER SLED CARD For my first card, I started off by die-cutting the elements from Winter Welcome Sled. This set is so fun to put together! The sled can be used on its own but paired with the ice skates it makes for a fun winter card. I adhered the pieces of the sled and ice skates, first and adhered them together using Bearly Art Glue. The sled adhered to an A2 white card base…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Stitchmas Christmas Collection from Spellbinders. The fun new stitching shapes and backgrounds in this collection inspired me to create three warm and cozy holiday cards with lots of stitched details. Stitched Joy Card The Stitched Joy Die Set creates such a beautiful focal point that I had to stitch this one up first.  Here I used bright variegated floss with some rich new cardstock colors for this pretty holiday card with tons of texture. Die-cut Forest Cardstock using the Joy Base Die from the Stitched…
