    Creating Cards with Texture and Dimension

    September 8, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I love finding easy ways to add texture and dimension to cards because those elements add loads of interest. Using the new Texture & Foliage Collection from Suzanne Hue makes it easy to add texture and dimension to foliage-focused cards.

    Foiled Halloween and Thanksgiving Cards with Jean

    August 12, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Hello crafty friends! I’m Jean, a paper crafter living in the Pacific Northwest blogging at Right as Rain. I am delighted to be on the Spellbinders blog today sharing colorful, foiled cards created with products in the Fall/Halloween Collection. No matter what your style–fun or elegant–the collection has something to offer for fall holiday cardmaking.
