    Three Ways To Use Cosmic Shimmer

    December 20, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello everyone! I’m Mindy Eggen from Mindy Eggen Design and I’m excited to be back on the Spellbinders blog to share with you three different ways to use cosmic shimmer in your card projects. Before I begin, if you haven’t worked with Cosmic Shimmer Polish before it is kind of like a creamy paste that has tons of shimmer and shine. The top of the lid contains a flat sponge applicator and the jar contains the polish. TECHNIQUE 1: Backgrounds One of the easiest ways to use the polish is to apply it directly to your cardstock.

    Snowflake Card Ideas in Pink!

    August 19, 2023 / No Comments

    Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m excited to show you three lovely cards using the fantastic Bibi’s Snowflakes collection. This collection is all about embracing the winter season with its charming designs. Let’s dive into the cards I made! For the first one, I went with a square shape. The main attraction is the Delicate Snowflakes Etched Dies. The words on the card are shiny and white, thanks to the Glimmering Snowflakes Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. The edges of the card are adorned with the Nestabilities Essential Squares Etched Dies, giving it a delightful dotted look. On to the second card! This time, I chose…

    Snowflake Card Ideas

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share three cards with you using Bibi’s Snowflakes collection by Bibi Cameron. This beautiful collection features lots of snowflakes that can be used for different occasions. They are perfect for winter and Christmas cards especially! WISHING YOU My first card uses the Snowflake Card Creator Etched Dies. This 6” large snowflake is perfect to add onto cards or can be used as the card itself, which is what I have done today. I cut the outer layer from white cardstock twice, made a hinge on one piece, and adhered it to the back of the other, to create a card base. I cut the…
