    Modern Realism Floral Trio

    March 4, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Through the Meadow collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. This beautiful collection features lots of flowers that would be found in a meadow, as well as beautiful coordinating sentiments. These flowers are meant to be created so that they look realistic, and I always enjoy shaping the petals to add that dimension to them. HAPPY BIRTHDAY My first card uses Lavender Mountain Daisy Etched Dies. In real life, I think these flowers are a little lighter in the shade, but I wanted them to pack a punch on my very clean and simple card,…

    Dimensional Flowers with Clean and Simple Backgrounds

    September 23, 2024 / No Comments

    Winter’s Grace Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. In addition to her usual dimensional flowers, there’s also a beautiful 3D embossing folder that’s worthy of its own card. To learn how to assemble these flowers, watch Susan’s videos on Spellbinders YouTube channel. The background embossed with the Norwegian Rosemaling 3D Embossing Folder was cut to 4 x 5 1/4” and adhered to a second panel cut from the largest Perfect Touch Rectangles and Tag Etched Dies. These flowers are the Cymbidium Orchid and Ladybugs Etched Dies cut from Susan’s Garden Specialty Cardstock and colored with alcohol markers. I added a sentiment from All Seasons Spring Press Plate and Die Set. This…

    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…

    Hello there!  It’s Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m delighted to be here to show you some ideas using the latest collection from Susan Tierney-Cockburn. This collection is called Nature’s Botanical Garden and it features five floral die sets, a beautiful 3D embossing folder, and a BetterPress Sentiment Set.

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of Spring paper flower card ideas using the new Painter’s Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn.
