    Wings of Love Inspiration | Black & White Cards with Elena

    March 22, 2018 /2 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! First, I’d like to thank you for joining me today. It’s Elena from elenasalo.com. This is my second post with projects I made using dies from the On the Wings of Love Collection, catch my first post here. For today’s cards I’ve chosen a die from Love Dream Create set. It reminds me of fairytale cityscape where elves and fairies live. And on my card I tried to show how this city would look like at night in moon light. Instructions: If you liked this idea, you can make the same card, just follow the instructions: Die-cut a label out of black cardstock using die from Love…

    Kids Birthday Party Card – Video Tutorial

    February 2, 2017 /1 Comment

    Hello everyone, This is Yana Smakula here at Spellbinders and thank you for joining me! Today I’m going to show you how to create Underwater Birthday Party card. I’ll share 3 different card layout ideas using the same supplies. Keep in mind you can also turn any of those projects into a shaker by adding a layer of acetate and some sequins or beads in front of the window area to shake inside the card and make it interactive. Hover over the image below to see what I used in creating this card: You’ll notice that one of my cards uses a light gray cardstock for the front panel and others…

    Sneak Peak: You’re The Best Masculine Card

    December 29, 2016 /No Comments

    Hello everyone, This is Yana Smakula here at Spellbinders and thank you for joining me today! This week we continue to look at some of the new dies and collections coming to Spellbinders in 2017. Last week I shared a peek at Becca Feeken’s Graceful Border Collection and today I’d like to show you one of the dies from the January Die D-Lites line. Masculine cards are always tough to make, but the new Toolbox die set makes it super easy to create fun cards for guys. I started working on this card by picking out a color palette, I went with Blue Mist, Pale Aqua, Tropical Sea and Navy…

    Vintage Christmas Card With Multiple Layers – Video Tutorial

    September 15, 2016 /1 Comment

    Hello everyone, this is Yana Smakula sharing another cardmaking video tutorial. The card I have created for this blog post is one that steps out of my comfort zone in terms of size. I usually like to create A2 cards or 5×7″ cards but this one is even bigger than that – 8 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. This is a heavily layered project, I used a few extra dies to create additional layers and add some dimension. The main gold die cut frame was altered slightly, I cut the poinsettia images off using scissors and covered the cut lines with another altered die cut. I used circle dies from…
