A Trio of Foiled Holiday Tags with Marie Nicole
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? To begin creating my tags, I used some arch dies from Spellbinders to cut a few layers of red and white paper. When creating a set of cards or tags, I like to pick a few colors and stick with that palette. When all my projects are created, they look like a matching set. For this first tag, I used the Plaid Tidings Glimmer Plate to create a red foiled…

Celebrate the Season Inspiration with Michelle Short
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the new Celebrate the Season Collection. This is a wonderful collection of dies, stamps, hot foil plates, and embossing folders perfect for the holiday season. WINTER SLED CARD For my first card, I started off by die-cutting the elements from Winter Welcome Sled. This set is so fun to put together! The sled can be used on its own but paired with the ice skates it makes for a fun winter card. I adhered the pieces of the sled and ice skates, first and adhered them together using Bearly Art Glue. The sled adhered to an A2 white card base…

Trio of Stitched Holiday Cards with Jung
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am very excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders Blog. If you’d like to follow my crafty projects, my blog is jungahsang.wordpress.com, and my Instagram is @junglebarrya. For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the Stitchmas Christmas collection. I love how the dies cut the holes, and there are embossed lines to guide your stitches. You could also stitch just part of the design, and it would still be gorgeous. Stitched Ornament Card For my first card, I used the stitched ornament etched dies. First, I die-cut the stitched ornament from Poppy Field cardstock. Then,…

Hot Foiling the Be Bold Color Block Collection
Hello! My name is Jen Kotas and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got two cards to share with you made using the new Be Bold Color Block Collection. What a fun collection with so many ways to use them creatively! I decided not to add any embellishments since there was so much shiny hot foil there already. If you don’t do hot foiling (though I highly recommend it), you could use stamps instead. For the Christmas card, you could foil the cardstock first and then die cut but I wasn’t sure what I was doing when I cut it ahead of time. Make sure…
