    Stitched for Christmas Card Inspiration with Jung AhSang

    July 13, 2023 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Stitched for Christmas collection. STITCHED POINSETTIA For my first card, I used the Stitched Poinsettia & Holly set, along with the Stitched Starry Argyle background die. I started by die-cutting all of the pieces in the Poinsettia & Holly die set.  Then, I added stitching to the die-cuts while I sat on the couch and watched a show.  I used red metallic thread for the flowers and berries, and green metallic thread for the leaves.  I also die-cut a panel of white cardstock using…

    It’s Time to Get Stitching with Stitched for Christmas!

    July 12, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing some holiday cards using the Stitched for Christmas collection. Yes, Christmas! I’ve been crafting long enough to remember when companies would release their Christmas products in November, which never left me enough time to use them. So, I am thrilled to see Christmas in July. Chose a slightly nontraditional Christmas color palette, substituting aqua or teal for green. Note: I made these cards before the sentiments in this collection were available, so I used sentiments from last year’s collections. Warm & Cozy Sweater This card was inspired by all the sweaters my mom made…

    July 11, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Stitched For Christmas Collection from Spellbinders.  The beautiful new stitching designs in this collection inspired me to create three fun holiday cards with different inking techniques to create colorful die-cuts accented by more subtle stitched details. Poinsettia Window Card I naturally gravitated towards the beautiful florals in the Stitched Poinsettia and Holly Leaf Die Set first.  Here I framed a window with my pretty poinsettias and added a foiled sentiment for this elegant square holiday card. I started by cutting white and Fern Cardstock using…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing holiday cards created with the Merry Stitchmas Collection at Spellbinders. As a cross stitcher, the stitching sets always catch my eye. While I created Christmas cards, the products I used can be used beyond the holidays for paper crafting throughout the year. Let’s take a look at how I used several of the die sets in the collection. Pair a glimmer-foiled sentiment with a stitched background for a classic and elegant Christmas card. Die-cut the Circular Stitch Background from Snowdrift Stitch the circles, half-circles, and quarter-circles with Red Ruby, Emerald Green, and Light Gold floss using a size 22 needle.
