    Custom Christmas Gift Tags by Annie Williams – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together

    October 24, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog once again today to share some pretty foiled gift tags made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. One of the benefits of using electronic cutting machines in your papercrafting is the ability to cut custom names and phrases to truly personalize a project. However, I still like to use my manual machine to add the texture and shine that really makes the project pop. I always like to create extra special gift tags for my closest loved ones at Christmas.  My Silhouette CAMEO can cut multiple tag…

Thanks so much Spellbinders for this wonderful opportunity!!! I’m a designer, blogger and just an avid paper crafter from Italy. You may know me as @tatianacraftandart on Instagram.

    Hi there, this is Joe.  I have been crafting for almost 2 years and am so thrilled to work with Spellbinders’ Tis the Season collection. Come hang out with me on Instagram at @vjsjoey.  I have some cards to share with you and hope it will inspire you to create with us. I love the holiday seasons and love creating cards for these special occasions. For these projects, I was inspired by not-so traditional Christmas colors and to repeat the color theme for all 3 projects I created.

    Hey there, crafty pals! I’m so excited to be here on the Spellbinders blog today! My name is Suzanna. You may know me online and on Instagram as Made in Mojave. I’m sharing three cards today that I created with the Tis the Season collection. Each design is super versatile and can be used to create both holiday cards and regular cards alike. This first card is simple, but packs a punch, with the dimension added using the embossing folder. I first embossed a white piece of cardstock and adhered it to a red mat for my background. I die cut the florals and greenery, then added them in a…

    July 26, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello everyone, this is Gemma from mygirllollipop.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today. I have three projects to share, highlighting the ‘Tis the Season” collection. This holiday collection has a wonderful mix of die sets, sentiments, glimmer hot foil plates and an embossing folder. I decided to go non-traditional with my colour scheme and have created a set of rainbow Christmas cards to share with you. For my first card, I began by die cutting the baubles from Holiday Decorations in a rainbow of cardstock, along with some gold glitter card. I offset layered a glitter bauble behind a coloured bauble and added gold…
