I am thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Timeless Trees Collection. I immediately fell in love with this collection at first sight!  My first card showcases the new Classic Christmas Tree Die Set combined with the gorgeous Branches 3D Embossing Folder. To assemble my tree, I first die-cut all my pieces from a variety of colored card stock.  I used two shades of green card stock for my tree, making sure to use the darker green for my background piece.

    4 Groovy Interactive Cards featuring the Dancin’ Christmas Collection

    September 26, 2023 / No Comments

    Hi there my Spellbiners’ friends, Welcome back to the Spellbiners Blog! My name is Jaycee Gaspar and I’m a full-time scientist and part-time content creator and card maker. Today, I’m sharing simple inspiration and projects featuring the Dancin’ Christmas Collection. This collection features four dancing groups, a paired sentiment stamp set, and embossing folder. This group is sure to keep you crafting, but your recipients will be amazed by how clever your Dancin’ Christmas cards are. I used three techniques to make these interactive cards: ink blending, color blocking, and shiny embellishing. Ink blending gives dimension to otherwise solid hues of cardstock. Color blocking helps define clear palettes in your…

    Hello! Carol Hintermeier here, and I’m thrilled to be invited to guest blog today! I’ve been card-making for close to 20 years and a fun fact about me is that my very first die-cutting machine and dies were from Spellbinders!
