    Be Merry Collection Inspiration with Laura Evangeline

    August 5, 2021 / 6 Comments

I grew up in Texas, and after a few trips around the world with the Army, I now call Nashville “home” along with my handy husband, who is soon to retire from the Army, and also my spunky 10-year-old son.

    August 4, 2021 / No Comments

    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 Be Merry Collection from Spellbinders.  The fun die sets, sweet holiday images, and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cute cards perfect for sending a little Christmas cheer. DELIVERING WARM HUGS CHRISTMAS CARD I fell in love with the adorable bear in the Chill Bear Die Set and knew I had to use him on a card right away.  With a fun stenciled background and a stack of tiny gifts, I created this simple and cozy Christmas card. Trim a piece…

    Be Merry Collection – Inspiration with Andrea Shell

    August 2, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello!  It’s Andrea Shell here with you, and I’m super excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog again. I got to play with the amazing Be Merry Collection, and I’m totally smitten with it! These stamps and dies are so much fun, and I think you’ll agree with me.
