Hitting the Slopes with Simon Hurley’s Ski-Son’s Greetings
Hello Crafters! Nancy Leppek here from Scrapper at Heart.com. I am delighted to be back as a guest on the Spellbinder’s Blog. Today, I am sharing three different cards using the recently released Ski-Son’s Greetings Collection from Simon Hurley. Fun fact, I have never been on snow skis before, but that certainly didn’t stop me from having some fun with this collection. Let’s get to it, shall we! Dashing Through the Snow For my first card, I am hitting the slopes and using all of the items in this collection. That is me, at the base of the card, more than likely, wiping out in the trees! LOL I took…

Starry Holiday Vibes: A Set of Three Cards
Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Amy Tsuruta, and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring the super festive Starry Holiday Collection by Dina Wakley. I’m smitten with Dina’s Spellbinders Collections, including her new BetterPress Inks, which are vibrant and versatile. I’ve designed three cards that feature each of Dina’s new sets. I love all things BetterPress, so this collection has me so inspired. One of my favorite sets is the Merry, Merry, Merry Bird. You can easily use each of the images as the main focal point for a card design. I’ve captured all of them in my card. The scale of both the bird and the ornament…

Yana’s City Holiday – It’s Christmas Time in the City
Welcome back to the Spellbinders blog. Joan Bardee here sharing 3 Christmas cards with products from Yana Smakula’s spectacular Yana City Holiday Collection. Each product in the collection is a keeper – from a detailed city house front to Christmas crackers, a bold (and so clever) joy die, and a gorgeous BetterPress Letterpress holiday registration plate set. And don’t forget the sentiments! This collection, while full of modern details, sent me back in time. As soon as I saw City Holiday Etched Dies, I thought of the times I’ve been in Manhattan at Christmastime (magical) and the Christmas carol, Silver Bells, with its beautiful refrain … It’s Christmas time in…

Little Details with the Little Smiles Collection
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing some cards made with The Little Smiles Collection. This Collection makes darling cards, particularly ones for babies and kids. It consists of 3 die sets, a BetterPress LetterPress sentiment and coordinating die set, and a 3D Embossing Folder and coordinating BetterPress Plate. I love to add little details to make my cards special. Add a few embellishments, an interesting layer or specialty paper, etc., and our cards no longer look like something you could purchase off a shelf. They become unique and special. BIRTHDAY GRID Isn’t this card adorable? I was inspired by this card that Yana Smakula shared a few months ago. (If…

The Amazing Jack of All Trades Collection (and a Nod to Best Ever Craft Tape)
Joan Bardee here. I’m delighted to share the amazing and unique Jack of All Trades Collection. Designed by the talented Jaycee Gaspar, the theme of this collection is about playing cards. While each item in the collection can be used on its own, this is a collection where “having it all” makes sense as the products work beautifully together for both male and female-themed cards. As of the time I am writing this, Spellbinders is offering the entire collection in a discounted bundle. Please look at Jaycee’s samples with this collection. Truly breathtaking! Jack of All Trades Collection is available on January 10th While I was making these cards, I…

Black & White Plus One Color with Woodland Wildlife
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m excited to share with you the fantastic Ranger Woodland Wildlife set of stamps and coordinating dies by Simon Hurley. Spellbinders released this gorgeous set with two other fun stamp and die pairings – Inspired and Everyday Wreaths. I chose to focus on Woodland Wildlife, but the color palette I’m using would work well with the other sets as well. Today’s color palette is a striking black and white plus one other color. Since Woodland Wildlife is packed with line art drawings (as opposed to solid stamps) this color formula is great if you don’t want to color in the images or just want…

Snowy Fun Cards Featuring the Let It Snow Collection
Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Let It Snow Collection by Simon Hurley. As soon as I saw those adorable penguins and pretty snowflakes, I couldn’t wait to create with these products. I went back to a favorite color palette of mine for these cards and I based it around the penguins but I also really love the contrast of the colors on the other two cards showcasing all the snowflakes. Can you guess which card I made first? Of course, it was the penguin card! I wouldn’t wait to dress up those penguins and I actually ended…

Seasonal Cards Featuring the All Seasons Collection
Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring All Seasons Collection. At first look, this collection may appear to be for scrapbooking enthusiasts but I’m here to show you how easily they can be used for card making. For those of you who use traveler’s notebooks for journalling and memory keeping will notice that this format is great for inserting into one of the traveler’s notebook pages. I decided to make not just three but four mini slimline cards to showcase one for each season to feature the Four Seasons dies. I had so many ideas in my head so…
