Elegant Christmas Cards using the Season of Wonder Collection
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Stampendous Season of Wonder Collection. This beautiful collection includes two die sets and two stamp sets. This is the perfect opportunity to create a shaped card and make an elegant wreath card. I enjoy creating ink-blended backgrounds but if I’m creating one or two why not create a few extras for other card ideas. I made two Halloween card backgrounds at the same time as these three backgrounds using some of the same inks. Ink blend a piece of white cardstock with light and dark teal colors then splatter with similar metallic ink and white acrylic paint. Set aside…

Perfect BetterPress Sentiments for Every Season
Hello, it’s Jean Manis here and I am excited to share three cards created with products in the Spellbinders All Seasons Scrapbooking Collection. The lowercase script font used in the sentiments has a timeless elegance and versatile appeal, making the sentiments perfect for any season and occasion.

Crafty Lessons Learned with the Happy Hour Collection
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here. The fantastic Happy Hour Collection consists of 2 cocktail glasses and other unique items to use with or without the glasses. It’s clever and my favorite of everything Spellbinders has released so far this year. Today I’m sharing a brayered background, an explosion of color blocking, and a cheeky Halloween card. None of these contain new ideas, but I learned a few things along the way that I will share with you. I hope you enjoy the cards as much as I enjoyed making them. CHRISTMAS COCKTAIL WITH A BRAYERED BACKGROUND A holiday card with a martini glass and a brayered background are both out…

Non-Traditional Holiday Cards with the Stitched Bright Collection
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing some fun holiday cards made with the Stitched Bright collection. It’s a fun collection of dies – Stitched Holiday Tree, Stitched String Lights, and Stitched Starfilled Background. I didn’t embroider with these dies, but that’s the beauty of stitching dies – you can use them with or without embroidery thread. These cards are boldly non-traditional, both in style and color. That works for me, but if you want to tone them down, substitute softer colors. Scalloped Tree First up is the Stitched Tree set of dies, with the fun scallop border. Die cut just the backer dies for the tree in all 3 sizes…

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…
