    Merry Stitchmas Collection – Stitched Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    October 2, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Merry Stitchmas Collection from Spellbinders.  The beautiful and versatile patterns in this collection inspired me to create two cozy stitched backgrounds for very different occasions. Stitched or not, the Circular Stitched Background Die is such a beautiful design for any kind of occasion.  I added tons of bright stitching to create a colorful background for this fun Christmas tree card. Die cut white cardstock using the outline and insert dies from the Circular Stitched Background Die Set and Pink Sand Cardstock using only the outline…

    All Stitched Up in Traditional Christmas Colors with Jean Manis

    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.

    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…

    Hi there, Spellbinders friends! My name is Angela and I’m honored to be guest posting here on the Spellbinders blog. 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…
