Vintage Christmas Inspirations
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. Christmas Treat Bags Since it’s a Christmas-themed collection, I thought its papers were perfect for making some treat bags. 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…

A Trio of Foiled Holiday Tags with Marie Nicole
Hello, Spellbinders friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. Please don’t judge me for sharing Christmas projects already, but the Glimmer Greetings collection from Spellbinders is all things Christmas! Besides, Christmas crafting is all year long- am I right? To begin creating my tags, I used some arch dies from Spellbinders to cut a few layers of red and white paper. When creating a set of cards or tags, I like to pick a few colors and stick with that palette. When all my projects are created, they look like a matching set. For this first tag, I used the Plaid Tidings Glimmer Plate to create a red foiled…

Gift Package Ideas using Susan’s Garden Favorites
Hello! My name is Jen Kotas and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve created three projects using the new Susan’s Garden Favorites. What a wonderful new collection of flowers from Susan Tierney-Cockburn! I love the dimension of these flowers so I thought it would be fun to create a few projects that won’t get crushed like a card might. I could not complete these projects without using Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. Please see Susan’s videos on Spellbinders YouTube channel for flowers assembly instructions. I die cut the Trillium Etched Dies and the Dogwood Etched Dies for this box. I then assembled the flowers on…

Custom Christmas Gift Tags by Annie Williams – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog once again today to share some pretty foiled gift tags made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. One of the benefits of using electronic cutting machines in your papercrafting is the ability to cut custom names and phrases to truly personalize a project. However, I still like to use my manual machine to add the texture and shine that really makes the project pop. I always like to create extra special gift tags for my closest loved ones at Christmas. My Silhouette CAMEO can cut multiple tag…

Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together | Shadowbox Gift Card Bag by Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m happy to be back on the blog today to share a fun and festive gift card bag made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. I love the versatility of electronic cutting machines, but often times when they are used with paper crafting the results can look a little flat. By integrating embossing folders, stencils, and dies that layer or even emboss, you can take an ordinary gift bag to the next level. I loved the idea of these shadowbox gift card bags as a fun way dress up an otherwise ordinary gift card exchange…

Spellbinders Halloween 2021 Collection Inspiration with Sheri
Hello! It’s Sheri again from My Sheri Cards and I am excited to be sharing 3 Halloween projects I created using the Halloween 2021 Collection. Some of these die sets are designed to work with the Open House Collection but I wanted to show that you can use them all on their own too! Spooky Greetings/Witch Card I love using green, orange and purple for Halloween projects. I had some Photo Play papers that were perfect for these projects. The witches hat and legs from the Let’s Be Frank die set were so fun to create and layer. They took a little patience with getting them paper pieced but I…
