Classic Florals & Regal Details: Card Making with the Regal Reflections Collection
Hello Spellbinders Fans! It’s Amy Tsuruta, and I’m so happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing these three cards featuring the Regal Reflections Collection.

The Autumn Greetings Wreath Etched Dies has everything you need to create a fall wreath with branches, leaves, pumpkins, and gourds. To create a very textured background, emboss an A2 piece of Cinnamon Cardstock with the Dimpled 3D Embossing Folder. It’s a bit easier to adhere the bits and pieces of the wreath to a flat piece of cardstock so trim down a…
