    Four Petal Wonderful Tulips Foiling & Stenciling Step-by-Step

    February 14, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial with you using the Wonderful Tulips Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set combined with the Wonderful Tulips Layered Stencils from the Four Petal Collection. STEP 1 Start off by cutting Champagne Glimmer Foil to size using Quick Trimmer. I like to have a bit of wiggle room around the foil plates but don’t want too much that can lead to over-foiling. Keep any little bits you cut off; they are perfect for sentiments! STEP 2 Take the Wonderful Tulips Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and prepare to foil onto white cardstock.

    Celebrate the Season – in July! with Joan Bardee

    July 18, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Christmas in July? Yes, please! Joan Bardee here and I am delighted to share 3 cards using some of the new products in Spellbinders’ Celebrate the Season Collection. MORE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS One of my favorite Christmas card techniques is to take a small stamp or die and use it repeatedly to form a tree. I did that with the small ornament die in More Holiday Decorations, using 4 different shades of blue cardstock along with gold glitter paper for the bows. Hot foiled a sentiment from Glitter Wishes using Gold Glimmer Hot Foil onto navy cardstock and die cut. Formed the tree, using foam to adhere each ornament onto a…

    Custom Christmas Gift Tags by Annie Williams – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together

    October 24, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog once again today to share some pretty foiled gift tags made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. One of the benefits of using electronic cutting machines in your papercrafting is the ability to cut custom names and phrases to truly personalize a project. However, I still like to use my manual machine to add the texture and shine that really makes the project pop. I always like to create extra special gift tags for my closest loved ones at Christmas.  My Silhouette CAMEO can cut multiple tag…
