    May 13, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hi my name is Natasha Vacca and I am so excited to be on the Spellbinders blog today!  I have had an amazing time working with the new release Birdhouses Through the Seasons by Vicky Papaioannou.

    Birdhouses Through The Seasons Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams

    May 12, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects using the new Birdhouses Through The Seasons Collection by Vicky Papaioannou.  This collection really spoke to me as a nature-lover, so I wanted to use as many of the seasonal sets as I could together.  Since the birdhouses are large enough to fill a card front, I was inspired to create three fun cards in different sizes for a variety of occasions. I thought the tall birdhouse from the Build A Fall Birdhouse die set would be perfect for a slimline card, but I’m not quite ready to start my fall…
