    Use Your Press Plates 3 Ways

    October 11, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hi Spellbinders fans. Alanna Moses from EmbellishCraftLove.com and I am very excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog today. I am super excited about the Glad Tidings collection from Simon Hurley and Spellbinders. It features three press plate sets, perfect for your holiday crafting needs. In this blog post, we will be using the Betterpress system and cotton cardstock to get a letterpress effect, we will be using regular inks on cardstock to get a similar yet different look, and lastly, we will be using the press plates with the Spellbinders Glimmer machine to foil them. SENDING HOLIDAY CHEER For my first card, I am using the Ornamental Press…

    Classic Christmas Scenes with Glad Tidings

    October 9, 2024 / No Comments

    Hey there, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs with three cards featuring Simon Hurley’s new collection, Glad Tidings. I don’t know about you, but I love the classic Christmas feel of this collection. The Santa, the ornaments, and the little Nutcrackers all have a bit of a vintage feel. I decided to pair all three cards with some navy cardstock and some very Christmas colors. Let’s take a look! For my first card, I grabbed the Nutcracker Trio Better Press plates. These three little Nutcrackers can be pressed all together, but I love that Spellbinders has also included a die that will cut each Nutcracker out individually.…

    Getting More Mileage from Modeling Pastes with Add-ins

    March 8, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hey there, Spellbinders artists and enthusiasts! Daniel West here, with some inspiration and a few tips for stenciling with TCW Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste and White Modeling Paste. Sometimes we see a simple product in basic white and wonder what we can do with it. But these pastes work like a blank canvas you can use as is or add in colors and glitter for different effects. The Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste boasts a wicked short drying time and a true-to-its-name texture. This paste lays down quickly and without fuss. When I stenciled it onto my projects, I noticed it didn’t seep in under the stencils because of…

Although the new Halloween additions to the Open House Collection can really be used on any kind of card, I find it hard to pass up creating another custom doorway!  With a just few color changes and these fun new dies, I created an easy mini slimline haunted house card to send to my nephew who loves the spooky…

It is full of starry, sparkly craft supplies that you can use to create gorgeous cards or other projects. I created a set of three cards with this collection and I’m excited to share them with you today! I wanted to create a set of cards that coordinate, but with each one being unique.

    Hi crafty friends! Lea Lawson here today to share a card set featuring the new products from the Celestial Zodiacs collection. There is such a fun collection, with fantastic stamps, stencils, Glimmer hot foil plates and even an embossing folder. Let’s take a look at how I created these cards! For my first card I embossed a panel of navy blue cardstock with the Stargazer embossing folder. Next I foiled the constellations from the Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn foiling sets in Aura colored foil. I stamped & heat embossed the sentiment from Starstruck Sentiments in white, then splattered the entire panel with white acrylic ink. Once the ink was…
