Vintage Christmas Inspirations
Hello Spellbinders friends! It’s Angela Tombari here and today I would love to show you what I created with the new release Christmas Flea Market Finds, made by Spellbinders in cooperation with Cathe Holden. Christmas Treat Bags Since it’s a Christmas-themed collection, I thought its papers were perfect for making some treat bags. I used papers from both paper pads, Christmas Velvet, and Home For The Holidays. I chose papers with delicate tone on tone design, one blue with small tiny flowers, one red with delicate embroidery, and the last, my preferred, with a fluffy boutis. Boutis is an old French type of embroidery. The treat bags are cut with…

Custom Christmas Gift Tags by Annie Williams – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog once again today to share some pretty foiled gift tags made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. One of the benefits of using electronic cutting machines in your papercrafting is the ability to cut custom names and phrases to truly personalize a project. However, I still like to use my manual machine to add the texture and shine that really makes the project pop. I always like to create extra special gift tags for my closest loved ones at Christmas. My Silhouette CAMEO can cut multiple tag…

Hello! I am Jennifer Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter. I am so happy to be on The Spellbinders Blog today. I have got two cards to share with you using the Trim a Tree Collection. The stencil in this collection was where my projects began, and they grew from there. It was quite an enjoyable process and led me to create one traditional card and one more modern card. Before I started designing either card, I stenciled a bunch of trees. I tried different color combinations including ombre and rainbow trees. There are so many ways to make these trees. You could die cut the layers from coordinating colors…

If there is anything that helps take a card to the next level, it’s a bit of foil! I used a geometric…
