Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and Christmas cards by far are my favorite to make. So I couldn’t resist the opportunity to design several Christmas glimmer plates to create elegant foiled Christmas cards. Welcome to the latest segment of What’s New At Spellbinders & FSJ.

Shadowbox Inspiration | Collection Introduction by Becca Feeken
Is there anything more enchanting than a 3D Scene? I think not!! I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and the passionate die designer behind the Shadowbox Vignettes Collection by Spellbinders; I wanted to introduce you to this sweet collection today. After sharing my 3D Vignettes collection with you in 2018, for 2019 I wanted to think of another way to add dimension and depth to card making. At the core of Shadowbox Vignettes is three sets of adjustable frames. By adjustable I mean that they can extend to any size, as long as you can find the paper to support it.

Hello! My name is Heather Hoffman – and I’m thrilled to be guest designing several times this month to share cards using the brand new Sew Sweet Collection from Tammy Tutterow! This collection is full of fun elements for cards and projects celebrating the art of the handmade – my mind first went to handmade quilts and gifts! But I also saw possibilities for other creative uses for this collection, so I decided to start with a couple cards that use these products for perhaps a different use than they were originally intended! To start off, when I saw this sentiment from #Handmade stamps, my mind immediately thought of a very good friend of…

Hey folks! This is Cynde Whitlow and I’m from The Pink Envelope. Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m here today to share a video, where I show you how I make two very easy cards using some lovely dies from the Flower Garden Collection by Sharyn Sowell. I simply adore the Botanical Butterfly dies. From the moment I saw it, I knew I had to use gold cardstock. I started by making shaped cards using the frame die from the Floral Panel Card Die Set. Then I die cut the butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly Die Set in gold cardstock. I used stamps to create my the “splatters” on…

This die is meant to create a 3D card base that can be folded and mailed in an envelope, but for this project I have combined the 2 bases to make one 3D piece – watch the video below to see how…
