    Shaped Cards Video Series. Episode #1 – You Are A Blessing

    September 14, 2017 /18 Comments

    Hello, everyone! This is Yana Smakula and thank you for joining me! This blog post and video marks the start of yet another monthly feature I’m hosting on Spellbinders blog and Youtube channel called “Shaped Cards with Spellbinders”. Once a month I will be posting a card and and video tutorial featuring a shaped card base using Spellbinders dies! I was happy to see you enjoy the first few episodes from my original video series, Layered Dimensional Die Cutting, so I decided to introduce additional series and share even more tutorials using Spellbinders dies. I hope you’ll enjoy these videos just as much! In the past I never cared much…

    Altering Die Cuts with Scissors. Thanks For All You Do Card & Video Tutorial

    August 10, 2017 /3 Comments

    Hello everyone, this is Yana Smakula and thank you for joining me! For my today’s blog post & video tutorial I decided to do something different, like altering die cuts with scissors! Usually we simply cut the piece out with the help of our dies and use it as is, but one can always alter die cut pieces slightly to make them a better match for a specific project. This card was published in the Die-cutting Essentials Magazine Issue 25 along with a few other cards done in a similar style – check it out for more inspiration. I started working on this card by die-cutting base panels for my…

    Cards Sure to Take You Around the Bend

    June 10, 2017 /6 Comments

    One of my favorite techniques is to create drama and dimension by bending elements; it’s so unexpected, so when people see it, it catches their eye. Hi there, I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and today I’m going to show you how to assemble a quick ‘shaped’ card that will send you around the bend. This card is going to be a shaped card. Shaped cards are quick because of the limited layers but they are eye catching because you can see through them depending on the complexity. We do that by cutting two of the shaped elements except one of the elements is cut on the fold. Come…

    Create an All Occasion Layered Card with Amazing Paper Grace Dies

    April 13, 2017 /2 Comments

    Hello everyone. This is Yana Smakula and thank you for joining me today! For my today’s blog post I decided to create a card that could work for many different occasions using dies from Becca Feeken. I used Braided Grace Square and Graceful Sweet Words sets, as well as 6 x 6 Matting A and B dies. I started working on my card by creating base panels using largest dies from the 6 x 6 Matting Basics A and B sets. I die-cut a larger panel out of gold foil cardstock and a smaller one out of patterned paper. After adhering patterned paper panel onto cardstock panel I adhered both…
