    Simple and Elegant Cards Using Sentiments as a Focal Point

    March 28, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of easy cards made with the new Copperplate Everyday Sentiments Collection by Paul Antonio. The beautiful, oversized sentiment plates in this collection create amazing focal points for simple and elegant cards. Black & White Thank You Card Paul Antonio’s gorgeous calligraphy deserves the spotlight on any card and the Copperplate Thank You Sentiment Plate is one of my favorites.  Here I used the classic black, white, and gold color combination for an elegant thank you card. Ink up the Copperplate Thank You Sentiment Plate with BetterPress Black Ink and press…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards made with the new Place & Press Registration Collection from Spellbinders.  I love how easy this new system makes it to create gorgeous multi-colored pressed designs and I was inspired to create two colorful cards with a couple of added special touches. Foiled Floral Thank You Card The Thank You Blooms BetterPress Plate Set looks beautiful in different colors, but I wanted to add a touch of gold foiling to the design as well.  Here I foiled the oversized sentiment in gold and added the flowers and leaves…

    Hello Crafters! Nancy Leppek here from Scrapper at Heart.com and I could not be more excited to be a guest here on the Spellbinder’s Blog today! I am sharing three different Love-inspired cards using the Interactive set called, Take Action Sentiments.

    Game Day Collection – Sport Themed Card Ideas

    October 3, 2023 / No Comments

    Hi everyone – Alanna Moses here and I’m thrilled to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog using the new Game Day collection from Justine Dvorak. I am a huge sports fan, so this fun collection was right up my alley. YOU’RE THE BEST AROUND For my first card, I started with the Athletic Apparel die set. This die set is brilliant in that with just a few changes or additions, you can create jerseys for different sports or even a polo t-shirt.  I die-cut the main portion of the jersey along with the two sleeves from black card stock. I then took the Hummingbird Textures stencil and blended on some…

    Betterpress Halloween: Watercolor Backgrounds

    August 28, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Betterpress Halloween collection. I made fun watercolor backgrounds playing with Distress inks and Distress Oxide inks. I love how they compliment the Betterpress plates. For my first card, I used the Pumpkins & Ghosts Background Press Plate. I started by adding some color to an A2 Bisque cotton card panel. I used several techniques on the background. First I wanted to add a base layer wash of color. I smooshed mini Distress ink cubes onto my glass mat and sprayed generously with water. Then,…
