    Paper Rose Studio Inspiration

    August 18, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi everyone! Stephanie Chestnut here, and I’m excited to share with you some gorgeous card designs using Paper Rose Studio’s Summer 2024 release. You can find all these amazing products at SpellbindersPaperArts.com Today, I’ll walk you through creating five stunning cards using various techniques, including my favorite freezer paper masking method. Let’s dive in! What inspired me to create these cards were the variety of Paper Rose Studio’s elements available in this release. When I saw the Mosaic Lotus Cutting Die for example, I immediately thought of shabby chic and stained glass designs. Paired with the incredible Inky Colour paper collection, which mimics alcohol ink backgrounds without the mess, I knew…

    Three Fun Background Techniques for Creating Easy & Colorful Cards

    August 7, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of simple and pretty cards made with the Beautiful Backgrounds Collection from Stampendous. There are so many fun techniques you can do with background stamps and I used three of my favorites to create these colorful cards for a variety of occasions. Rainbow Confetti Congrats Card The Stampendous Streamers Stamp was just begging to inked up in rainbow colors, so I created a colorful background with just three ink pads for this simple and bright congrats card. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5.25”.  Using a stamp…

    Hi, friends! I’m Lauren Taylor Made and I’m so excited to be here on the Spellbinders Blog to share with you a few cute critter cards with the new Bibi’s Cats and Pugs Collection! When I saw the Big Cat Etched Die Set, I just knew it would make the perfect black cat and I thought it would be fun to give it a Halloween feel. I started with all of my die cutting from Spellbinders Cardstock – the cat pieces are cut from Onyx with the exception of the eye pieces that I cut from White and Fern, inside ears and nose from Barely Peach, tongue from Dahlia and…

    A Collection for All Seasons

    July 18, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three projects using Nichol’s Needlework Collection. This collection features lots of dies that can be used to create faux embroidery. If you are not into embroidery and sewing, a lot of the dies can be used without the needlework elements as well and I have one project showing that today. This collection is already very versatile but even better is that it can be used for so many occasions – everyday, Halloween, fall, autumn, Christmas and the holidays … plus lots more!

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of colorful cards made with the new More Fresh Picked Collection from Spellbinders.  I love the bold floral designs in the Fresh Picked line, so I tried to pick some fun color combinations to use with them while adding extra touches with ink. Bright Floral Hello Card I normally try to build my floral cards using colors you might actually find in real life, but the Fresh Picked Angel Trumpets Die Set is such a unique design that I decided to pick bold colors and really amp them up with…

    Hello everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! I’m so happy to be here today on the Spellbinders Blog! I want to share with you three Christmas cards I created featuring the new amazing Merry Mug & Circle Delights Collection! RUDOLPH The first card I realized is featuring the super fun Festive Ornaments and Santa’s Festive Circle Crew Etched Dies! I die-cut the circle base for my reindeer using kraft card stock, and then I blended the edges with some Distress Ink. After that, I die-cut the other parts and colored them with Copic Markers. At this point, I assembled the reindeer. I realized the base of my card by…
