Emily Midgett from Sixth Street Sundries here with you today on the Spellbinders blog, and today I have some inspiration to share using a few products from the BetterPress Christmas Collection!

Vintage Christmas Inspirations
Hello Spellbinders friends! It’s Angela Tombari here and today I would love to show you what I created with the new release Christmas Flea Market Finds, made by Spellbinders in cooperation with Cathe Holden. Christmas Treat Bags Since it’s a Christmas-themed collection, I thought its papers were perfect for making some treat bags. I used papers from both paper pads, Christmas Velvet, and Home For The Holidays. I chose papers with delicate tone on tone design, one blue with small tiny flowers, one red with delicate embroidery, and the last, my preferred, with a fluffy boutis. Boutis is an old French type of embroidery. The treat bags are cut with…

Celebrate the Season – in July! with Joan Bardee
Christmas in July? Yes, please! Joan Bardee here and I am delighted to share 3 cards using some of the new products in Spellbinders’ Celebrate the Season Collection. MORE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS One of my favorite Christmas card techniques is to take a small stamp or die and use it repeatedly to form a tree. I did that with the small ornament die in More Holiday Decorations, using 4 different shades of blue cardstock along with gold glitter paper for the bows. Hot foiled a sentiment from Glitter Wishes using Gold Glimmer Hot Foil onto navy cardstock and die cut. Formed the tree, using foam to adhere each ornament onto a…
