Deal Me Few Cards for Multiple Occasions
Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog again. I spent a lot of my youth playing cards with friends and family. They were the days when social media didn’t exist, and we were “forced” to give each other undivided attention 😉 When I saw the Jack of All Trades Collection by Jacee Gaspar it brought a lot of fun memories from my childhood and had so much fun creating the cards I am sharing today. Jack of All Trades collection by Jaycee Gaspar is available on January 10th 2025. There are so many amazing products in the Jack of All Trades collection…

Applying the 60/30/10 Color “Rule” to Nichol’s Needlework Collection
