Holiday Floral Swag 3 Ways – Christmas Inspiration With Michelle Short
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Christmas Collection. My post today focuses on using Holiday Floral Swag in three different ways. WHITE-ON-WHITE ORNAMENT For my first project, I wanted to go with a simple white-on-white card. I love the look of white on white and the embossing really enhances it!

For my focal point, I die-cut the Nordic Ornament from white and gold glitter cardstock (for the topper) and adhered…

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…
