    Step by Step: Country Barn Inspired Star Wreath Card

    July 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I adore the new Country Christmas Collection designed by Annie Williams for Spellbinders. I am sharing a tutorial today on how to create a Christmas card with three different supplies from this collection. Starting with the Barn Star Wreath Etched Dies, die cut a full star with the outline die out of two colors of cardstock. I chose Waterfall Cardstock and some silver foil cardstock. Then place the decorative dies for each of the star points on top of one of the die-cut stars and hold them in place with Spellbinders Best Ever Craft Tape. Run that star with all of its decorative…

    Holiday Cards with Annie Williams Country Christmas

    July 16, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Joan Bardee here sharing Christmas in July with the Country Christmas Collection by the talented Annie Williams. This collection will warm your heart. It includes a barn, country star, rocking chair, snowman, horse-drawn carriage, and other elements that capture the nostalgia of a simpler time. I chose a bit of an Americana color palette – red, white, blue (and a bit of green and black) as this collection reminds me of the Pennsylvania Dutch country (one of my husband’s and my favorite places to visit) and its American folk-art tradition. Read along to see how I made these cards and my husband’s reactions to each – I can always count…

    Country Christmas Collection Introduction with Annie Williams

    July 14, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends, this is Annie Williams, and I’m so excited to introduce my new collection with Spellbinders called Country Christmas.  I love the magic of the holiday season and have always wanted to design a Christmas collection.  Country Christmas combines some of my favorite rural scenes and décor pieces with rustic holiday charm.  And if you picked up some of the items from my first collection, Country Road, then you will find many of the products work great with this collection too! There are seven products in this collection – five die sets, a BetterPress plate & die set, and a 3D embossing folder.  Each product was carefully…
