    Gorgeous Make-up Set Cards

    April 14, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I’m thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month again! I believe that the Gorgeous You Collection and Mini Wax Seals Collection will be the perfect choice for Mother’s Day or birthday cards for women who enjoy makeup. I just loved creating each card using the collection because I love to have makeup items for me. I made three cards featuring the Gorgeous You mini wax seals Collection and the Gorgeous You Collection. If you’d like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram.

    March 21, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hello crafters! It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m delighted to be here to share some ways to use the Copperplate On Your Wedding Day Collection with you. This is a beautiful collection by Paul Antonio that includes four wedding-themed press plates although the “Sending Love” plate can be used on a wider variety of cards. All the Copperplate collections feature a beautiful Copperplate script that serves as the focal point of your card. As with all press plates, you can also foil them, so you get double the fun!

    Creating Bougie Cards with a Limited Color Palette

    January 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! I’m Adrienne Boese, better known as Alice Scraps Wonderland online. Today I’m sharing three card ideas using the Bougie Birthday collection designed by Nina Boettcher. Since this blog post is all about being a little bougie, I’ll be sharing how to create that glamorous look with a limited color palette. The color palette I’m using is brown, cream/white, peach and touches of sparkle. I’ll also be sharing these in three different card sizes: A2, A7 and a gift card holder, so no matter what size you love to create in, there will be an idea for you!

    Applying the 60/30/10 Color “Rule” to Nichol’s Needlework Collection

    July 25, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing cards made with the darling Nichol’s Needlework collection. The highlight of this collection is a die that creates an embroidery hoop, screw, and “fabric.” Nichol Spohr combined her love of cardmaking and needlework in this collection and I think you are going to love it.

The rule is that the primary or dominant color should be 60% of the design, a secondary color 30%, and an accent color 10%. While I’ve been aware of this rule for a while, I find…
