Yana’s Poppies with Emily Midgett
Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today from Sixth Street Sundries, and I had the distinct pleasure of playing with goodies from Yana Smakula’s new floral collection called Yana’s Poppies. I have been such a fan of Yana’s work for such a long time, so it is always a privilege to play with products that she has curated. I know that poppies are traditionally red, but I am always up for making things fit my own style, and I know that Himalayan Blue poppies do in fact exist, so I decided to make a trio of projects inspired by those unique flowers! For my first project, I decided to…

Creating Personalized Note cards
Hello crafters! This is Flávia Cavaliéri and I’m so happy to be on Spellbinders blog sharing some fun scrapbooking-style note cards! I have recently been on a trip to Europe for the first time, and instead of sending postal cards to close family members, as I usually do, I decided this time to make personalized note cards using pictures of my favorite moments! And, of course, I will mail these note cards along with some fun souvenirs! I was highly inspired by many creative scrapbookers that I have been following on social media to create these note cards. All of today’s note cards have a lot of texture and many…

Christmas Cardmaking using Contemporary Colours
Hello there crafters! Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m excited to be here to show you some ideas using the Home For The Holidays Collection. For my three cards today, I thought it would be fun to use modern, contemporary colors for a super pretty Christmas vibe.

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…

A Collection for All Seasons
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three projects using Nichol’s Needlework Collection. This collection features lots of dies that can be used to create faux embroidery. If you are not into embroidery and sewing, a lot of the dies can be used without the needlework elements as well and I have one project showing that today. This collection is already very versatile but even better is that it can be used for so many occasions – everyday, Halloween, fall, autumn, Christmas and the holidays … plus lots more! CHRISTMAS MAGIC For my first card, I created a Christmas…

Silly Goose Birthday Party
Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I have a few cards to share with you showcasing some fun and beautiful new stamp sets illustrated by Simon Hurley. For my first card, I created a slimline card measuring at 3.5” x 8.5” featuring the Silly Goose Stamp Set. I made my card one-layer by masking my images as I stamped. In order to do this, I first created a rough draft of where I wanted to place my images and then used my MISTI to align my images on my final draft as I stamped. I started with the images that appeared in the front of my card first,…
