Sometimes the Smallest Things Take Up the Most Room in Your Heart: A Pooh Hanging for Gifting
Hello, folks! This is Jennifer Ingle here with you today, and I am so excited to be sharing a super fun (and rather simple) stitching project using the Stitched Classic Pooh Collection. If you are a Winnie the Pooh die-hard, you may have recognized that quote in my title. It holds so much truth. Sometimes a small handmade gift can say so very much to your recipient.

You can see I chose to not add stuffing, but if you wanted to, you could totally make his belly a bit chubby…

Autumn is Upon Us!
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Woodland Tales Collection. Autumn/fall is upon is here in the Northern Hemisphere and this Woodland Tales Collection is perfect for the season (but can be used all round too!). Whilst my color palette doesn’t necessarily give autumn vibes, the subject matter does! EACH DAY IS A GIFT For my first project, I wanted to use Finley the Fox. I thought that he would look great nestled in an autumn forest background. For me, mushrooms work perfectly for autumn, so I grabbed them and got to work die-cutting! To make this card: Die…

For my three cards today, I thought it would be fun to use modern, contemporary colors for a super pretty Christmas vibe.
