    Creating Unique Backgrounds For Cards With Modeling Paste

    March 3, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards using white modeling paste as a fun background element. White modeling paste can be used as-is, with stencils, or mixed with a variety of other mediums for endless possibilities in your paper crafting projects. Modeling Paste & Stencils There are lots of ways to alter modeling paste to suit your project, but with a thick and creamy consistency, it also looks great applied through stencils right from the jar. Here I created a pretty textured background for this soft spring flowers card. Apply white modeling paste through the…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards made with some of the beautiful new ribbons, cords, and twines from Vivant available in the Spellbinders shop.  I chose my favorite ribbon techniques and paired them with some gorgeous Spellbinders products to create these three easy cards with tons of texture and a little something extra. Floral Wax Seal Card With all of the beautiful wax seal products released recently, it would be hard to craft with ribbons and not consider using this technique first.  Here I paired a floral bouquet and wax seal with a couple…

    Gift Wrapping with Vivant and Pepin Press

    August 30, 2023 / 2 Comments

    Hello there, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. I have a fun post to share today, featuring the papers and ribbons from Vivant and Pepin Press! I’ll be creating a few projects with these items and paring them with some glimmering and wax seals from Spellbinders. Let’s get started! FOILING ON RIBBON Did you know that you could foil on ribbon? Some of this satin ribbon from Pepin is perfect for this technique! I grabbed a roll of my copper foil and some of the Dark Green Vivant ribbon and started to heat up my Glimmer machine. This is easy to do and it adds so much…

    Crafting With Doodlebug – Cardmaking Ideas You Need To Try

    August 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a bunch of cards made with some of the beautiful Doodlebug products available in the Spellbinders shop. I paired many of the brightly colored cards and envelopes, sweet patterned papers, and fun washi tapes and embellishments with some of my favorite Spellbinders dies to create cards for many different kinds of occasions. Mailbox Thank You Card I hear a lot of crafters say that they love patterned paper, but struggle to use it on their projects sometimes, especially those with bolder colors and patterns. Here I turned a bright stripe pattern into…

    Mix Your Wax Seals with Glitter!

    August 6, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Did you know you can add glitter to your wax seals? Yes! There are so many options! Go with the same color wax bead and glitter for a tone-on-tone look, or better yet add contrasting color glitter for a striking effect. You can sprinkle glitter into the wax as it is melting in your spoon or as soon as you’ve poured it onto your surface before pressing the stamp. So many options to explore! Today we are welcoming guest designer Marie Nicole as she shares her wax seals & glitter experiments! Take it away, Marie Nicole! Hello there, craft friends!

    July 2, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello again, crafty friends! Marie here from Marie Nicole Designs. I hope the start of your summer has been fun and fabulous! I’ve been able to create with the new Sealed for Summer collection from Spellbinders and let me tell you- this collection is definitely fun and fabulous. Let’s take a look! FLORAL WINDOW One of the sets in this collection that I really loved was the Modern Ovals set. These nested ovals are perfect for cutting out card layers, windows, and as you will see in my next cards, even rainbows! For this first card, I cut out an oval window to layer my Glimmer Bouquet over. Before cutting…
