Magical Deer: Christmas and Beyond with Joan Bardee
Joan Bardee here and I am honored to share 3 ways to use the gorgeous Magical Deer Etched Dies from the Winter Tales Collection. They were designed by the talented Zsoka Marko and fit beautifully with the rest of that Collection. The first thing I thought of when I saw this die set was folk art. After looking at dozens of folk-art designs on Pinterest, I was inspired to make a few cards with dark backgrounds. After years of making white-only backgrounds, it’s fun to try something new. For these cards, I used black, but any dark background, particularly a deep cranberry, green, or navy would be awesome. Magical Christmas…

Nordic Ornaments 3 Ways. Christmas Cardmaking With Michelle Short

The whole collection is amazing, but I am focussing on the Nordic Ornaments today to share three different ways to use them. SEASON’S GREETINGS For my first project, I wanted to go with a Nordic feel, so chose a color palette of red and blue, with lots of white space. I die cut the longer of the two Nordic Ornaments twice from Cosmic Sky, Glacier and Poppy Field Cardstock. The toppers were die-cut using Brushed Silver Cardstock. I assembled and adhered them using Bearly Art Glue, raising…

My dad also used to organize the biggest folklore festival…

Hello Spellbinders friends! It’s Angela Tombari here and today I would love to show you what I created with the new release Christmas Flea Market Finds, made by Spellbinders in cooperation with Cathe Holden.

I used papers from both paper pads, Christmas Velvet, and Home For The Holidays. I chose papers with delicate tone on tone design, one blue with small tiny flowers, one red with delicate embroidery, and the last, my preferred, with a fluffy boutis. Boutis is an old French type of embroidery. The treat bags are cut with…

Hello, Spellbinders fans! It’s Angela Tombari here and today I would like to share with you what I created with the beautiful new released Warm Wishes Camper collection. Caravan Camper Life Box The first thing I made was this little caravan box using Camper Life die set. The camper is so cute and I was impatient to try it.
