Hi there all you beautiful crafty people, it’s Jenny from JCCards here! I’m excited to be guesting here on the Spellbinders blog, sharing three card projects I created using the wonderful Wedding Season Collection by Nichol Spohr. This collection was so much fun to play with – the sky really is the limit for color coordinating with any forthcoming wedding theme, and it can easily be tailored for other occasions as well such as birthdays or anniversaries! I spent so much time choosing colors for my cards – running through my cardstock stash and seeing which colors paired well together, and also looking at weddings on Pinterest for inspiration. It…
Kaleidoscope Patterns with Jean Manis
Hello crafty friends! I’m Jean, a papercrafter blogging at Right as Rain. I am thrilled to be on the blog today sharing two cards created with the Shapeabilities Kaleidoscope Tile Dies.

Video: Just Add Color Inspiration | Pencil Coloring on Kraft with Debby Hughes
Hi, Debby here from Lime Doodle Design and I’m delighted to be here at Spellbinders today. In my video below I’m using the beautiful new Peonies Blossoms set from Stephanie Low and one of my most favourite ways to colour – pencils on kraft. The Peonies Blossoms set has four lovely floral clusters set on a red rubber, cling mount system which means you are going to get that beautiful fine line detail from the red rubber for these delicate blooms. I paired the stamp set with the Strathmore Toned Gray paper. I love the cooler grey tone of the paper, and its smooth surface makes stamping and colouring a…
