Holiday Magic with the Classic Mouse Christmas Collection
Hello friends, I’m Lorena Wakefield, and I’m so happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog as a guest designer! It’s always such a joy to share my projects with you, and today I’m especially excited because I’m working with the Classic Mouse Christmas collection, a set that instantly brings a smile and a big dose of holiday cheer. For this post, I created three festive cards, each one highlighting the playful charm of this collection. Wreath & Lights I started with a cheerful holiday wreath, layered in bright greens and decorated with colorful lights. I added a big red bow for that classic Christmas touch, and the sentiment “Here…

Yana’s City Holiday – It’s Christmas Time in the City
Welcome back to the Spellbinders blog. Joan Bardee here sharing 3 Christmas cards with products from Yana Smakula’s spectacular Yana City Holiday Collection. Each product in the collection is a keeper – from a detailed city house front to Christmas crackers, a bold (and so clever) joy die, and a gorgeous BetterPress Letterpress holiday registration plate set. And don’t forget the sentiments! This collection, while full of modern details, sent me back in time. As soon as I saw City Holiday Etched Dies, I thought of the times I’ve been in Manhattan at Christmastime (magical) and the Christmas carol, Silver Bells, with its beautiful refrain … It’s Christmas time in…

Seasonal Faux Stitched Cards with Nichol’s Needlework Collection
Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from whostolemyglitter.com. I’m excited to be sharing three cards featuring Nichol’s Needlework Collection from Nichol Spohr. This collection includes dies to make cards throughout the year. You could even use them without the needlework dies. Though I didn’t do it, I would recommend stamping the sentiment before die-cutting. It will produce more solid lines.i put tiny pieces of foam tape behind the gold screw fitting. You could adhere everything flat instead to avoid this. Die cut the pieces from the Gathering Stitches Etched Dies, Needleworker Tool Kit Etched Dies and Faux Embroidered Stockings Etched Dies from a variety of cardstock colors. You will also need to…

Christmas Envelope of Wonder Card Tutorial
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share how I created this fun Christmas envelope card using the new Envelope of Wonder Collection from Spellbinders. I love the idea of stuffing a big envelope full of festive elements and thought it would be fun to add some details to the envelope itself as well. Start by cutting the main parts of the envelope out of Forest Cardstock and the top flap layer out of Brushed Gold Cardstock. Emboss all of the main envelope parts using the Holly & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder. Lightly rub Gold Rush Lunar Paste over the…
