(Almost!) One Layer Wonders
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing inspiration using the Glimmering Flowers collection. Today I have three cards to share that are (almost) one-layer cards. Whilst I love adding dimension on my cards, for mailing purposes, it is easier having less dimension!

To make this card: I took a panel of white cardstock and placed a piece of Silver Foil shiny side up on top. I placed the Glimmering Buttercups Glimmer Plate on…

Hi friends! Emily Midgett from Sixth Street Sundries is here with you today, and I’m very happy to be a guest here on the Spellbinders blog! My husband often jokes that the only way I can grow anything green is on a card, which is 100% accurate. I have purchased and been given many a beautiful plant in my lifetime only to have them sadly wither away. So many people began creating their own miniature greenhouses during the pandemic, and so it makes sense that Spellbinders designed the Propagation Garden product suite to celebrate those lucky folks with green thumbs! I have created a trio of projects with the new…
