Christmas Traditions Inspiration with Jennifer Kotas
Hello! My name Jen and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got two cards and a tag/ornament to share with you, all made from the new Christmas Traditions Collection.

Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together | Shadowbox Gift Card Bag by Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m happy to be back on the blog today to share a fun and festive gift card bag made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. I love the versatility of electronic cutting machines, but often times when they are used with paper crafting the results can look a little flat. By integrating embossing folders, stencils, and dies that layer or even emboss, you can take an ordinary gift bag to the next level. I loved the idea of these shadowbox gift card bags as a fun way dress up an otherwise ordinary gift card exchange…
