    Dyan Reaveley Collection

    August 7, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hello Spellbinders friends! It’s Allison Frazier, and I am so excited to be sharing these fun projects that I made using the new Dyan Reaveley Collection. As soon as I saw these products, I was instantly reminded of my art journaling days. I actually spent time art journaling before I discovered cardmaking, so being able to combine the two like I did with these projects was so much fun. Because I started art journaling before becoming a cardmaker, I still have a bunch of those supplies in my stash, including many from Dyan’s Dylusions collection. So that is where I started for all of my projects today. All of the…

    Adding Texture and Dimension to Monochromatic Cards

    May 14, 2024 / 6 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends, I’m Adrienne Boese and you can find me online as Alice Scraps Wonderland both on Instagram and on my blog. Today I’m going to be sharing some ideas for monochromatic cards, specifically, how to add texture and dimension, especially when you are working with a single color of cardstock for your card. There are a few ways you can add texture and dimension, but one that is really is by using dimensional stickers, like the Timeless Butterfly collection, which are the feature of this set of cards! The layered wings are perfect for adding depth to any project. Some other ways that you’ll see showcased in these…

    Fun Ideas for Die Cutting With Patterned Paper Featuring Doodlebug

    April 7, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Emily Leiphart and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog, featuring Doodlebug’s Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints 12×12” Cardstock Paper. Spellbinders is now carrying the entire line of Doodlebug’s Rainbow Petite Prints and it was such a difficult choice because I love them all. Linen is always a must-have for me because it’s so subtle and I love that I can easily stamp on it. Gingham is another fun and versatile choice. After choosing the color palette for my cards and making sure that I had both the Doodlebug prints and coordinating solid cardstock, I went to work on my designs. Spellbinders has so…
