    Wrapping and Presenting Crystal Clear Boxes for Holiday Gifts

    December 2, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Hello, friends! It’s Savannah O’Gwynn from Savannahland2. I’m honored to be sharing some of my ideas for holiday gift wrapping using the Crystal Clear Boxes, Vivant twines and ribbons, and Pepin Press papers, as well as many different Spellbinders dies and goodies! One of my favorite gifts to give to my loved ones for their birthday or for the holidays is a stack of handmade cards! #SAVfact: I rarely write in my cards because I like to give them as gifts and let the recipient use them🙃 Grab some of these supplies and give out beautifully packaged handmade cards to all your friends, family, neighbours this holiday season.

    Christmas Stitching in July!

    July 14, 2023 / 2 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some projects with you using the new Stitched for Christmas Collection. This beautiful collection features lots of stitching dies to create beautiful handmade stitched projects. Not into stitching? You can also use these dies without stitching, they still make beautiful projects! CHRISTMAS POINSETTIAS My first card uses the beautiful Stitched Poinsettia & Holly Etched Dies. I die-cut the poinsettias from Poppy Field Cardstock (both the stitching layer and back layer) and the holly from Peridot Cardstock. I then added ink blending to the layers using Distress Oxide Inks and blending brushes. I stitched the poinsettias and holly leaves using DMC Color Essentials Floss…

  • For my first card, I used the stitched ornament etched dies. First, I die-cut the stitched ornament from Poppy Field cardstock.  Then, I used some gold metallic thread to stitch through the die-cut holes.  Once I finished stitching, I die-cut the detail piece for the ornament from brushed gold cardstock two times.  I glued them to the top and bottom of the ornament.

    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.

    Merry Stitchmas Collection Inspiration with Caly Person

    September 28, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hi, Everyone!  This is Caly Person with you today! I’m sharing three cards using products from the Merry Stitchmas Collection. I tried to pick a non-traditional color scheme for my cards today using pinks and greens.  Gives it softer look and I hope you like these projects! I used standard six-stranded embroidery floss for today’s stitching panels along with some gold thread.  You’ll notice the colors I choose are not only in the thread, but also in the cardstock. I started with white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers to match the thread that I used for the projects. For my first card, I die-cut the Diamond Stitch die…

Recently I’ve been playing with some new dies from the Merry Stitchmas collection, and today I’ve got a couple of holiday cards to share. If you’re brand new to stitching dies, don’t worry at all, because I am too! Having only made a few stitched cards prior to the launch of this collection, I certainly consider myself a beginner. That said, these are super easy to work with and I know you’ll get the hang of them very quickly! Here’s a quick step-by-step for each card: Sparkling Mandala The Sparkling…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Faith Collection from Spellbinders. The intricate cross designs in this collection are stunning when assembled, so I paired them with simple backgrounds and just a few embellishments to really let them shine in these two holiday cards. I thought the gorgeous details on the Kaleidoscope Cross would look beautiful in layers of gold and white.  Once assembled, I draped a swag of lilies around it for a simple and elegant Easter card. Die cut the components of the Kaleidoscope Cross, using gold metallic cardstock for the top…
