Magical Deer: Christmas and Beyond with Joan Bardee
Joan Bardee here and I am honored to share 3 ways to use the gorgeous Magical Deer Etched Dies from the Winter Tales Collection. They were designed by the talented Zsoka Marko and fit beautifully with the rest of that Collection. The first thing I thought of when I saw this die set was folk art. After looking at dozens of folk-art designs on Pinterest, I was inspired to make a few cards with dark backgrounds. After years of making white-only backgrounds, it’s fun to try something new. For these cards, I used black, but any dark background, particularly a deep cranberry, green, or navy would be awesome. Magical Christmas…

Stitchmas Christmas Inspiration with Michelle Short
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the new Stitchmas Christmas Collection. If you love stitching, this is the perfect collection for you! Not keen on stitching? Do take a closer look at the collection, the dies still look great without stitching. Having said that, I do enjoy stitching, so all my projects use stitching today.
