Trio of Cards, Featuring the Nichol’s Needlework Collection
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Nichol’s Needlework collection. As a needlework lover, I jumped at the chance to work with this collection. First, I started out by die-cutting the hoop elements for all three cards. I die-cut the perforated circles, the hoop frames, and the gold screw pieces. I wanted the hoop frames to be slightly raised, so I cut extra and glued 2 together for each card. I also glued the hoop screw to the back of the frame. Then, I die-cut several embroidery scissors, needles, and spools…

Die Cutting Dioramas With Tunnel Scapes
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Tunnel Scapes collection. This is such a fun collection that focuses on creating scenes with dimension, kind of like mini dioramas but more on the 2D side, rather than the 3D side. These cards can get pretty dimensional if adding foam tape in between all the tunnel layers, but they would still look great without the foam tape, or with less layers if you didn’t want them to be so bulky. I used thin foam tape for mine so that I still got the dimension but with slightly less bulk. UNDERWATER TURTLE…
