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.

Trio of Stitched Holiday Cards with Jung

Merry Stitchmas Collection Inspiration with Caly Person
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…

Expressions of Faith Collection – Easy Holiday Cards with Annie Williams
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.
