Never Doubt Your Magic with New The Wonder of Oz Collection
Hi friends! Emily Midgett from emilymidgett.com here with you today on the Spellbinders blog, and I am thrilled to be working with the fabulous new The Wonder of Oz Collection from Graphic 45! Watching Judy Garland sing her heart out as a child was one of the many musicals that piqued my musical interest as a young child, and so the Wizard of Oz has always been dear to my heart. My twins were even dressed as Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion for their first Halloween! The images in the Wonder of Oz collection are in the classic and intricate illustration style from the original book by Frank L. Baum,…

Holiday Cards with Annie Williams Country Christmas
Joan Bardee here sharing Christmas in July with the Country Christmas Collection by the talented Annie Williams. This collection will warm your heart. It includes a barn, country star, rocking chair, snowman, horse-drawn carriage, and other elements that capture the nostalgia of a simpler time. I chose a bit of an Americana color palette – red, white, blue (and a bit of green and black) as this collection reminds me of the Pennsylvania Dutch country (one of my husband’s and my favorite places to visit) and its American folk-art tradition. Read along to see how I made these cards and my husband’s reactions to each – I can always count…

Three Adorable Farm Animal Cards
Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Justine’s Farm Collection by Justine Dvorak. This is a sweet collection of five press plate sets, four featuring adorable farm animals. One of the best things about BetterPress plates is that they can be used with the BetterPress System and the Glimmer Hot Foil System! When I’m already using either system, I like to make up extras, even if I don’t plan to use them yet. This is especially true for any sentiments. Impress the Daisy Press Plate and Die Set using Black BetterPress Ink on a Porcelain A2 BetterPress Cotton Card Panel. Create sentiments on a separate panel and…
