Non-Traditional Holiday Cards with the Stitched Bright Collection
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here sharing some fun holiday cards made with the Stitched Bright collection. It’s a fun collection of dies – Stitched Holiday Tree, Stitched String Lights, and Stitched Starfilled Background. I didn’t embroider with these dies, but that’s the beauty of stitching dies – you can use them with or without embroidery thread. These cards are boldly non-traditional, both in style and color. That works for me, but if you want to tone them down, substitute softer colors. Scalloped Tree First up is the Stitched Tree set of dies, with the fun scallop border. Die cut just the backer dies for the tree in all 3 sizes…

Cool Fransformers Inspiration
Hello crafty friends! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! Today I share with you three Christmas cards I created featuring the new super cute and fun Stampendous Cool Fransformers Stamps Collection! These critters are the cutest, aren’t they?? CHRISTMAS MAGIC The first card I realized is featuring the Stampendous Fransformers Snowy Friends Stamp Set. I stamped the snowman on a watercolor paper, using the Distress Oxide Pumice Stone, to have a delicate effect. I realized the background using the Sakura Koi Watercolors in the shades of blue with the wet-on-dry technique, to have a more intense effect. After that, I continued to watercolor the snowman and then I used…

Merry & Bright Collection – Card Inspiration
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards made with the Merry & Bright Collection from Spellbinders.

This collection will give you everything you need to make many different wreaths. There are many add-ons available that allow you to make cards for any occasion. I decided to not make any wreaths.

Sakura Watercolors – Watercoloring 3D Embossed Background
Hello crafty friends! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! I’m so happy to be here again as a guest on the Spellbinders Blog! Today I share with you a step-by-step tutorial of the card I realized featuring the amazing Sakura Koi Watercolors! This set of 24 watercolors is truly beautiful and perfect for urban sketching or for indoor watercoloring as well. I chose to use these beautiful watercolors to create a Christmas card. I realized a coloring different from my usual, using an embossing folder instead of a stamp. When using brand new colors (every type of color) for the first time, I recommend you create a color chart. This…
