The Flea Market Finds Collection With Brenda Noelke
Hello, crafty friends! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m so excited to be guest posting on the Spellbinders blog again today! I’m sharing three cards using the Flea Market Finds Collection designed by Cathe Holden! This collection consists of two stamp sets, two die sets, two printed die-cut packs, one sticker pad, and two patterned paper pads!! This is a bit of a stretch for me style-wise, but I wanted to challenge myself and I really enjoyed working with this collection!! It was so much fun layering all of the elements together! THINKING OF YOU CARD For this card, I layered a couple of the patterned papers from…

Metamorphosis: Rainbow Colored Fun
Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and today I’m featuring 3 cards using the gorgeous Metamorphosis Collection designed by Simon Hurley. (How does Simon create so many amazing products, videos, and samples??) This collection consists of 4 sets of dies: In Bloom, Stained Glass Window, Everyday Sentiments, and Brilliant Butterflies. I was particularly smitten with the arch shape in Stained Glass Window and the collection put me in the mood for rainbow colors, so get ready for rainbows. The Stained Glass Window base die is perfect to make an arched-shaped card, so I did. Die cut a fantasy rainbow-colored bouquet (with gold accents) using the In Bloom dies. Love how…

Butterfly Kisses: 3 Ways – Complicated to Simple by Joan Bardee
Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and today I’m featuring 3 cards using the Butterfly Kisses stamp and die set designed by the amazing Simon Hurley. I’ve got something for everyone here; the first card has lots of layers and colors; the second repeats 2 images; and the third is clean and simple. Used a lot of purple on these cards, which is a color that I rarely use – but butterflies just seem to work with it! Floral Frame Card Used Yana Smakula’s “perfect cardmaking formula” to design this card. This was a stretch for me as I usually make much simpler cards. Yana’s formula is to place a…

Color with Cardstock – Anemone Blooms Cardmaking Ideas with Joan Bardee
I am delighted to share 3 ways (plus 2 bonus cards) to use the Anemone Blooms Collection, designed by the amazing Yana Smakula. Is it intimidating to use Yana’s products on a Spellbinders blog post? You bet it is, but here it goes anyway! I love big bold anything, so these flowers stole my heart. I wasn’t familiar with anemones and a quick online search revealed that they come in a huge variety of colors. So, use whatever colors you love; for me – pink is my first love. Hot Foiled Anemone Blooms If you are looking for maximum impact with minimal effort, just hot foil the Anemone Glimmer Blooms…

Inspired by the Sentiments in the Showered with Love Collection by Joan Bardee
Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and if you want to see what else I’m up to, you can find me on Instagram as Dear Paperlicious. Today I’m featuring 3 fun and colorful cards using products in the Showered with Love Collection designed by the super-talented Vicky Papaioannou. The design of each card was inspired by the sentiments in the I’ve Got You Covered Clear Stamp and Die set, which is part of this collection. The collection is full of clever open and closed umbrellas, weather symbols, flowers, a duck, etc. – all evoking spring. I took my cue from that season and used softer sherbet colors for each of…

Trio of Joyful Christmas Cards with Jung AhSang
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am very excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the Joyful Christmas collection by Simon Hurley. I love the variety in this holiday collection. Floral Stag Card For my first card, I used the Floral Stag etched dies as my focal point. First, I die-cut all of the dies in the Floral Stag die set on white cardstock. I used Copic markers to color the images. Next, I glued together the stag and the flowers. I set the die cuts aside, then worked on the other pieces…

3D Vignette Hot Air Balloons with Rachel Alvarado
Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel from rachelalvaradodesigns.com and @theunpamperedstamper. I am thrilled to be back for another guest post on Spellbinder’s blog. I have three projects to share with you today that feature the new 3D Vignette Hot Air Balloons from the 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken. For my first project, I created a 3D hot air balloon card as the die is intended. This style of card is so much fun to put together and looks super cute when propped up. I simply die-cut all of my pieces and adhered them together with liquid adhesive. For my colors, I used a bright pink card stock combined with some…
