Design Decisions: Keeping the Process Simple Using the Stylish Ovals Collection with Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! Do you have a hard time settling on a card design? Iโm Joan Bardee and I confess to remaking my cards multiple times. Today Iโm sharing how I simplified my design decisions using the beautiful Stylish Ovals Collection. I took a long look at the collection and noted that several of the products have a symmetrical or near-symmetrical design. Symmetry, where one half of the design mirrors the other half, is balanced and evokes calm. So, for each card, I opted to use: 1. the same limited color palette (red/peach, white, and/or gold), and 2. a symmetrical or near symmetrical layout. I found that by making these decisions…

Creating โOceansโ Without Watercoloring Using the Seahorse Kisses Collection with Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! Iโm Joan Bardee and today I am sharing 3 ocean-themed cards using the beautiful Seahorse Kisses Collection designed by Dawn Woleslagle. As Iโm sure many of you know, Dawn Woleslagle is an amazing watercolorist. The Seahorse Kisses Collection would be beautiful watercolored. However, since Iโm not on speaking terms with watercolors, I decided to create ocean backgrounds with ink blending on specialty papers. I hope you like the results. A Modern Inky Tide This abstract modern take on ocean tides was inspired by these amazing cards that Yana Smakula made with Spellbinders Glimmer Specialty Cardstock. This paper, designed to be the perfect paper for hot foiling, has a…

More Masculine Cards Ideas with Toolbox Essentials
Hello, crafty friends! Itโs Emily Leiphart here and Iโm thrilled to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Toolbox Essentials Collection. When I create sets of cards with a common color theme, I always look at how many colors I would need, then choose my colors accordingly. Once colors are selected, I cut all of the pieces at the same time in every color, then sit down and glue them all together at once. This makes it easy to create several cards at one time with extras for later. If youโre like me and find it hard to make masculine cards, this new collection will make it easy to…
