Fun Ideas for Die Cutting With Patterned Paper Featuring Doodlebug
Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring Doodlebug’s Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints 12×12” Cardstock Paper. Spellbinders is now carrying the entire line of Doodlebug’s Rainbow Petite Prints and it was such a difficult choice because I love them all. Linen is always a must-have for me because it’s so subtle and I love that I can easily stamp on it. Gingham is another fun and versatile choice. After choosing the color palette for my cards and making sure that I had both the Doodlebug prints and coordinating solid cardstock, I went to work on my designs. Spellbinders has so…

Spring Has Sprung!

You will find that the collection is versatile as well! I have three cards for you today, all inspired by different painting styles!

Graphic Stylized Design with The Fresh Picked Collection
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here to share some fun colorful cards made with the Fresh Picked Collection. Recently I’ve seen a lot of graphic stylized designs – large florals, fruits, or other images – manipulated so that they fit into a rectangle or other shape like a puzzle. Some describe this design as mid-century modern. You can see examples by checking out my Pinterest page here. In addition, the November Large Die of the Month Towering Blooms is also in that style.

Hello crafty friends! This is Mindy Eggen and I’m excited to be back on the Spellbinders blog to share some inspiration with you featuring the Flower Market Stencil collection. This collection is a nice break from all of the Christmas inspiration that is in full swing! When starting my project, I wanted to keep things simple by sticking to one color palette. I will use these chosen colors throughout both cards. The design of the stencils fills up an entire card front and I wanted to tone that down a bit so I created a layered frame for the front of the cards. I’m using the Essential Arches die set…
