    Hi there, crafty friends, this is Annie Williams, and I’m so excited to introduce my new collection with Spellbinders called Country Christmas.  I love the magic of the holiday season and have always wanted to design a Christmas collection.  Country Christmas combines some of my favorite rural scenes and décor pieces with rustic holiday charm.  And if you picked up some of the items from my first collection, Country Road, then you will find many of the products work great with this collection too! There are seven products in this collection – five die sets, a BetterPress plate & die set, and a 3D embossing folder.  Each product was carefully…

    House-Mouse Summer Fun Card Ideas

    July 8, 2025 / No Comments

    Hi crafters, Dina Kowal here! The House Mouse gang is back with some hot weather antics in the Summer Fun collection… I’m not even sure how it’s already time for summer cards, but here we are!  There are 4 new sets in this House Mouse release, each with a card-sized image and several coordinating sentiments. I love the movement that is drawn into each of these images, so I used different methods and mediums to highlight those details. You know I love to watercolor, so on all these cards I used my favorite paints to begin my coloring. I let the paint dry between layers and kept building up intensity,…

    July 4, 2025 / 1 Comment
