    July 7, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of fun holiday cards made with non-traditional color schemes using the new Holiday DIY Color Deck Expansion Pack.  Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with the handful of colors I use on my holiday cards and the latest Color Deck cards gave me some really fun new looks to try!

    November 6, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Timeless Trees Collection. I immediately fell in love with this collection at first sight!  My first card showcases the new Classic Christmas Tree Die Set combined with the gorgeous Branches 3D Embossing Folder. To assemble my tree, I first die-cut all my pieces from a variety of colored card stock.  I used two shades of green card stock for my tree, making sure to use the darker green for my background piece. To add some shading, I lightly blended…

This collection includes two 3D embossing folders and five die sets for creating wonderful holiday and winter scene cards. The idea for these cards was inspired by different holiday decor styles.

    Introducing the Timeless Tress Collection

    November 3, 2024 / No Comments

    Hey friends! I’m Simon Hurley, and I’m beyond excited to share my newest collection with Spellbinders – Timeless Trees! This collection is inspired by my deep love for home decor and the warm, cozy vibes that come with decorating for Christmas. Ever since I was a kid, I would beg my mom to start decorating the house for Christmas long before October even began. (What can I say? Some people countdown to Halloween, but I’m here for Christmas In July!) For me, Christmas can never come soon enough! For me, the highlight of this collection is the Classic Christmas Tree Die Set. This large, layered tree makes a stunning centerpiece…
