    Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Timeless Trees Collection by Simon Hurley.

The first card has a rustic feel, the second is more modern and the third is definitely traditional. Inspiration can be found everywhere! Emboss a 4 x 5 1/4” piece of white cardstock with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Gently run a gray ink pad over panel.

    October 28, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello there Spellbinders friends! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m so excited to be here as a guest and I am sharing three shaker cards using the fabulous Shaker Domes. I love to make shakers, so these cards were really fun to create and the Shaker Domes make it very easy to make them. There are five different-shaped domes in this collection; Arch, Stylish Oval, Emerald Cut, Fresh Picked and Hexi-Gem. They work with the coordinating die sets, so everything is super easy to put together! The dome itself is approx. 0.38” high so you have plenty of room to add different-sized shaker mixes…

    Beautiful Backgrounds Cards with Joy

    August 5, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends, I love a good background stamp! I’m going to show you three cards using three different background stamps from the Stampendous Beautiful Backgrounds. I used three different techniques with these awesome stamps. For my first card, I used the Leafy Lines background stamp, it has a pull-away piece that I used for this card design.
