Easy and Fun Handmade Advent Calendar with Kraft Pop & Lock Boxes
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a fun handmade advent calendar made with Kraft Pop & Lock Boxes. These versatile boxes are easy to decorate and the perfect size for a little gift…so why not customize and give twenty-five of them to someone who deserves a fun surprise every day until Christmas!

Each box measures about 3” x 3” x 3”, plenty big enough for something like an average-sized ornament. I’m making this advent calendar for my…

Crafting With Doodlebug – Cardmaking Ideas You Need To Try
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a bunch of cards made with some of the beautiful Doodlebug products available in the Spellbinders shop. I paired many of the brightly colored cards and envelopes, sweet patterned papers, and fun washi tapes and embellishments with some of my favorite Spellbinders dies to create cards for many different kinds of occasions. Mailbox Thank You Card I hear a lot of crafters say that they love patterned paper, but struggle to use it on their projects sometimes, especially those with bolder colors and patterns. Here I turned a bright stripe pattern into…

Christmas Stitching in July!
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some projects with you using the new Stitched for Christmas Collection. This beautiful collection features lots of stitching dies to create beautiful handmade stitched projects. Not into stitching? You can also use these dies without stitching, they still make beautiful projects! CHRISTMAS POINSETTIAS My first card uses the beautiful Stitched Poinsettia & Holly Etched Dies. I die-cut the poinsettias from Poppy Field Cardstock (both the stitching layer and back layer) and the holly from Peridot Cardstock. I then added ink blending to the layers using Distress Oxide Inks and blending brushes. I stitched the poinsettias and holly leaves using DMC Color Essentials Floss…

Stitched for Christmas Card Inspiration with Jung AhSang
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Stitched for Christmas collection. STITCHED POINSETTIA For my first card, I used the Stitched Poinsettia & Holly set, along with the Stitched Starry Argyle background die. I started by die-cutting all of the pieces in the Poinsettia & Holly die set. Then, I added stitching to the die-cuts while I sat on the couch and watched a show. I used red metallic thread for the flowers and berries, and green metallic thread for the leaves. I also die-cut a panel of white cardstock using…

It’s Time to Get Stitching with Stitched for Christmas!
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing some holiday cards using the Stitched for Christmas collection. Yes, Christmas! I’ve been crafting long enough to remember when companies would release their Christmas products in November, which never left me enough time to use them. So, I am thrilled to see Christmas in July. Chose a slightly nontraditional Christmas color palette, substituting aqua or teal for green. Note: I made these cards before the sentiments in this collection were available, so I used sentiments from last year’s collections. Warm & Cozy Sweater This card was inspired by all the sweaters my mom made…

Stitched For Christmas Collection – Inking Inspiration with Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Stitched For Christmas Collection from Spellbinders. The beautiful new stitching designs in this collection inspired me to create three fun holiday cards with different inking techniques to create colorful die-cuts accented by more subtle stitched details. Poinsettia Window Card I naturally gravitated towards the beautiful florals in the Stitched Poinsettia and Holly Leaf Die Set first. Here I framed a window with my pretty poinsettias and added a foiled sentiment for this elegant square holiday card. I started by cutting white and Fern Cardstock using…
