Yana’s Poppies with Emily Midgett
Hi friends! Emily Midgett here with you today from Sixth Street Sundries, and I had the distinct pleasure of playing with goodies from Yana Smakula’s new floral collection called Yana’s Poppies.

Creating Christmas Cards with the Simon Hurley Christmas Collection
Hi, it’s Marie here from the blog and YouTube channel, Marie Nicole Designs. I’m excited to be sharing three cards I created using stamps from the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. These cards are fairly simple to create, and they will be perfect to send out in this upcoming holiday season. I made two cards with a glimmered background I added with a Simon Hurley Glimmer plate I have. I think the pattern looks like snowflakes so it fit well with the snowmen! The last card I made is simply using the stamped image along with a sentiment and some ink-blended colors. Let’s take a look! SIMPLY SNOWMEN I started…

Faux Stitching Ideas To Try with Your Stitching Dies
Hello crafters! This is Lisa from My Card Trip and I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog today. I am sharing a fun and simple way to get the look of stitching on your cards, without the need for actual stitching with thread! It is surprisingly easy and very quick to do. Many stitching dies can actually be used without any threads at all, as the patterns are often still really pretty with all the tiny holes. However, you can also add faux stitching with pens to give you a similar look to thread. I am going to be sharing one card in detail today but…
