There is also a stitched rectangle die that can cut the whole panel out. MERRY CHRISTMAS STITCHING For my first card, I took the base layer of Layered Stitched Diamonds, as well as the rectangle die,…

Holiday Floral Swag 3 Ways – Christmas Inspiration With Michelle Short
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Christmas Collection. My post today focuses on using Holiday Floral Swag in three different ways. WHITE-ON-WHITE ORNAMENT For my first project, I wanted to go with a simple white-on-white card. I love the look of white on white and the embossing really enhances it! I started off by running a panel of white cardstock through my Platinum 6 inside the Holiday Floral Swag 3D Embossing Folder. It was then adhered to the front of an A2 white card base.

Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Nordic Ornaments Etched Dies from the Winter Tales Collection by Zsoka Marko.

Hello, Spellbinders friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. Please don’t judge me for sharing Christmas projects already, but the Glimmer Greetings collection from Spellbinders is all things Christmas! Besides, Christmas crafting is all year long- am I right?
