Classics March Inspiration | Colorful Floral Card with Kaja
Hi there, it’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I am back at Spellbinders blog as a guest designer for this week. As I’ve already mentioned in the first project I shared this week, I am using dies from a brand new Classics March release on all of the cards I share with you here. When I saw the Fancy Edged Circles I immediately thought that the smallest die reminders me of a flower, so I went with it and made a card filled with flowers. I started by die cutting the smallest scalloped circle from 5 different colors of card stock and I made 4 flowers…

Classics March Collection Inspiration | Dry Embossed Cards with Marge
Hello, there! It’s Marge here again with gorgeous New Classics March Collection. Today I’m going to share how to make patterned backgrounds using dry embossing technique. Since all the dies in Classics March Collection are nested dies, with different patterns on frames one by one in a set, they are just perfect for making interesting patterns all together. So here are my cards for today. To begin, I cut a white card stock using the largest frame die in the Fancy Edged Rectangles Dies set, then I placed all other smaller dies on it one by one, put a piece of masking tape on them to keep them from moving…

Classics March Inspiration | Ink Blended Circles Card with Kaja
Hi there, It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I am super honored to be guest designing for Spellbinders this week. For my cards, I will be using dies from a brand new Classics March release. Take a look at my first project: I started by ink blending the whole panel of my watercolor paper. I decided to use Distress oxides since they blend really easily, and the results are awesome even without a lot of effort. I used four colors: Pine Needles, Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Faded Jeans. Next, I sprinkled some water directly on the panel and then wipe it away with tissue. This gives…

Elegant 3D Vignettes Inspiration | Birthday Card with Melissa
Hello! Melissa Phillips here and I’m so happy to join you again using more of the beautiful 3D Vignettes Dies from Becca Feeken. I had a lot of fun creating this birthday card using these fabulous, layered dies. Birthday cards are among my most favorite cards to create, and I just knew the tiny balloons in the Layered Happy Birthday Etched 3D Vignettes Dies would create something special. I die cut my balloons and layered circle from watercolor cardstock. I blended ink using a foam applicator over each balloon in pastel colors. I then added a bit of water to create a soft, ethereal look. Once the balloons were dry,…

I call this cobalt blue but I might be totally off! Anyway, this shade is my absolute favourite. The last couple of…
