    May 14, 2024 / 6 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends, I’m Adrienne Boese and you can find me online as Alice Scraps Wonderland both on Instagram and on my blog. Today I’m going to be sharing some ideas for monochromatic cards, specifically, how to add texture and dimension, especially when you are working with a single color of cardstock for your card. There are a few ways you can add texture and dimension, but one that is really is by using dimensional stickers, like the Timeless Butterfly collection, which are the feature of this set of cards! The layered wings are perfect for adding depth to any project. Some other ways that you’ll see showcased in these…

    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.

    September 27, 2021 / 3 Comments

    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…
