    Hello, crafty friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. I’m sharing some festive Christmas cards featuring the Joyful Christmas collection by Simon Hurley and Spellbinders. This is a fun collection that includes the cutest die set featuring a reindeer head, some beautiful glimmer plates, and clever background dies! I tried to incorporate all of these items together in today’s cards. Season’s Greetings Reindeer Card For my first card, I went right to cutting and assembling that cute reindeer. I cut all the pieces out of white cardstock, including all the little flowers and branches. I then used different colors on ink to blend onto the cardstock to color it…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am very excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog.  For my projects today, I’m working with some products from the Joyful Christmas collection by Simon Hurley. I love the variety in this holiday collection. Floral Stag Card For my first card, I used the Floral Stag etched dies as my focal point. First, I die-cut all of the dies in the Floral Stag die set on white cardstock. I used Copic markers to color the images. Next, I glued together the stag and the flowers. I set the die cuts aside, then worked on the other pieces…
