Felt Stitch & Create Collection with Larissa Heskett
Hello, Crafty Friends. Larissa is here today to share some Inspiration using the Felt Stitch & Create Collection by Nichol Spohr. SWOON! This Collection is amazing and I’m in love with all of the different images to choose from, especially the Candy Cane and the Gingerbread Boy & Girl. There are so many ways that you can use these sets to create cards and more. If you’ve never tried stitching dies and aren’t sure they’re for you that’s okay, they can also be used without Stitching. Let’s get started. I started by die-cutting the pieces for the Candy Cane using the Felt Candy Cane Etched Dies from some of the…

A Christmas Dance
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three projects using the Dancin’ Christmas Friends Collection. This fabulous collection features characters that are made so that their legs move, or dance, which is super fun! A GIFT FOR YOU For my first card, I am using the Dancin’ Gnome Etched Dies. This die creates a gnome that is almost 6” tall, so I opted for a mini slimline card, to get the full effect of his dancing legs! To make this card: Die cut Dancin’ Gnome Etched Dies from Snowdrift, Bearly Peach, Teal Topaz, Waterfall, Poppy Field, and Silver Assortment…

Interactive Christmas Cards
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Dancin’ Christmas Friends Collection. Interactive cards are so fun to make and dancing characters make it so easy!

Die cut the Dancin’ Moose Klondike, Dancin’ Gnome Alfie, and Dancin’ Douglas Etched Dies from various colors of cardstock and specialty papers. Assemble the die cuts using liquid glue but don’t adhere the legs to the body. Dry emboss a background for each character. I used Holiday Lights 3D Embossing…

For my three cards today, I thought it would be fun to use modern, contemporary colors for a super pretty Christmas vibe. I love traditional colors at Christmas, but it’s always good to shake it up a little and I usually end up with a fairly even mix of styles. The Home For The Holidays Collection is a big one and it is packed with super fun dies, gorgeous press plates, beautiful sentiments, and an embossing folder that actually could…

Non-Traditional Christmas in July
Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog. My favorite season for crafting and cardmaking is Christmas and I am thrilled to be working with the Home for the Holidays collection in the middle of super-hot July. There are so many amazing products in the Home for the Holidays collection that I had such a hard time choosing. Once I made my decision for the product I picked a color scheme and decided to go with a non-traditional palette. For the main colors I chose pinks, aquas, pale grays, greens, and accents of gold, but added other colors as I saw fit. Poinsettia…
