    Vintage Postal Christmas Cards

    August 27, 2024 / 5 Comments

    Hi everyone!  So happy to welcome you to a new post here on the Spellbinders blog.  I’m Pam Sparks, cardmaker, blogger and instagram creator.  Today I’m sharing three cards I made with the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. My first card uses images from the Sketched Santas and Sketched Christmas stamp and die sets. I had fun stamping and coloring on kraft color cardstock with color pencils.  I kept it pretty simple…inking, some die cutting and layering for A2 size cards. My second card I had the idea to go ‘postal’ and make a faux postcard design using the Sketched Snowmen stamp and die sets. I stamped and heat-embossed two…

    Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards

    August 20, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com.  I am happy to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Collection. My first project showcases the new Sketched Santas Stamp Set.  To start, I stamped my images onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   I then used Copic Markers to color them and the coordinating die set to cut them out. Copic Colors Used: Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89 Black: W7, W9 White: 0, C00, C1, C3 Blues: B02, BG34, B36 I then created my card background…

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring Bayfair by Rosie’s Studio Card Maker’s Kit and add-ons.

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of pretty floral cards made with the Bayfair Card Maker’s Kit.  The beautiful floral dies, bright patterns, and fun embellishments in the collection inspired me to create three colorful cards perfect for sending a summer hello.
