    September 30, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing holiday cards created with the Merry Stitchmas Collection at Spellbinders. As a cross stitcher, the stitching sets always catch my eye. While I created Christmas cards, the products I used can be used beyond the holidays for paper crafting throughout the year. Let’s take a look at how I used several of the die sets in the collection. Pair a glimmer-foiled sentiment with a stitched background for a classic and elegant Christmas card. Die-cut the Circular Stitch Background from Snowdrift Stitch the circles, half-circles, and quarter-circles with Red Ruby, Emerald Green, and Light Gold floss using a size 22 needle.

This versatile collection of slimline die sets and embossing folders can be used to create distinctive projects for any number of occasions, including Christmas. Let’s take a look! Did you know?

    Hello, crafty friends! Are you ready for some Christmas inspiration? I’m sharing three slimline cards today showcasing the Holiday Slimline collection by Spellbinders! There are so many fun die and glimmer sets in this collection that you can mix and match to get a head start on your Christmas cards! Die Cut Greenery My first card features these gorgeous pinecone, poinsettia, and greenery dies that you can layer and add to your cards. I cut a large amount of these pieces, ink blended them a bit, and then layered them over my card front. Before adding my die cut pieces, I dry embossed the background with one of Spellbinder’s slimline…

    August 5, 2021 / 6 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! I am Laura Evangeline, and I am excited to join you here as a guest blogger for the first time. I grew up in Texas, and after a few trips around the world with the Army, I now call Nashville “home” along with my handy husband, who is soon to retire from the Army, and also my spunky 10-year-old son. I can’t forget our two Yorkies, Max and Penny too! I started making cards a few decades ago now, but after taking a long break I realized it was more than a silly hobby. I wholeheartedly credit my mental health and well-being to crafting and the amazing…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Be Merry Collection from Spellbinders.  The fun die sets, sweet holiday images, and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cute cards perfect for sending a little Christmas cheer.

    Hello!  It’s Andrea Shell here with you, and I’m super excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog again. I got to play with the amazing Be Merry Collection, and I’m totally smitten with it! These stamps and dies are so much fun, and I think you’ll agree with me. Family & Friends Shopping Spree Card My first card features the Shopping Spree Dies, which I cut from a combination of cardstock and Deco Foil Flock. To cut the flock details, I first adhered the flock to white cardstock and then die-cut it with the Shopping Spree Dies. For the gifts I used the Christmas Wishes Paper from the November…
