Pink & Black for Christmas?
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula. This beautiful collection features amaryllis, poinsettias and sentiments – all perfect for the holidays. CHRISTMAS CHEER For my first card, I wanted to use Yana’s Amaryllis Etched Dies. This set is great as you have the flower and stem as one die and then separate dies for the leaves and shadow pieces. I like that you can customise it as you wish! To make this card: Cut Yana’s Amaryllis main die once from white cardstock, making sure not to put too much pressure on it, so…

Painted Christmas Florals with Amaryllis Christmas
Hey there, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs with three cards featuring the new collection, Amaryllis Christmas. The florals in this collection are absolutely stunning! Amaryllis flowers can come in a variety of shades but since I’m going with a Christmas theme, I chose some bold reds and golds for my cards. This collection has 3D embossing folders, Better Press plates, layered stencils, sentiments, and of course, the Amaryllis die that cuts out all the pieces for the gorgeous eye-catching flower. For my first card, I ran the 3D Embossing folder through my Platinum 6 with the correct plates to press the design into some smooth white…

Classic Christmas Scenes with Glad Tidings
Hey there, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs with three cards featuring Simon Hurley’s new collection, Glad Tidings. I don’t know about you, but I love the classic Christmas feel of this collection. The Santa, the ornaments, and the little Nutcrackers all have a bit of a vintage feel. I decided to pair all three cards with some navy cardstock and some very Christmas colors. Let’s take a look! For my first card, I grabbed the Nutcracker Trio Better Press plates. These three little Nutcrackers can be pressed all together, but I love that Spellbinders has also included a die that will cut each Nutcracker out individually.…

Emboss Like A Boss and Add Pretty Floral Accents
Hello there, Lisa Tilson here with you today on the Spellbinders blog. I’m so excited to share three ideas using the Beveled Sentiments A2 Cardfronts Collection. There are four 3D embossing folders in this release – Happy Birthday, Thanks, Hello, and A Gift For You. I really like the crisp, clean, and modern style of these folders. As the sentiments are big and bold, they take centre stage and look great even with just some simple ink blending but I went a slightly different way with my cards today. From Me To You My first card uses the Beveled Hello A2 Cardfront 3D Embossing Folder and I decorated it with…

This collection has a press plate with coordinating stencil, a 3D embossing folder, and three wax seals. All of these products are so beautiful and pair perfectly together.

I used the Opal Blush Shimmer Interference Ink Pad from Lisa Horton Crafts. I then used the coordinating stencils to color the umbrellas and leaves. I trimmed…
