    Join Kim Kesti in the Creative Classroom as she creates a festive slimline Christmas card with a cool snowy technique. Today’s card features the Color Block Merry Christmas Dies which cuts the exact size of a slimline card. It also includes the Merry accent dies. In today’s video, Kim shares a beautiful card that is paper pieced together in gold, green, and red. This card includes both the positive and negative pieces cut from the die and it’s all about the contrast of traditional Christmas colors. Watch video below or on our Youtube channel: Another way to use the Color Block Merry Christmas die is to add each die cut letter onto a card…

    Hello, crafty friends! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works and I’m so honoured to be guest posting today on the Spellbinders blog! I’m sharing a set of two cards today using dies from the new Be Bold Color Block Collection. I have made my cards in two different sizes – Slimline and Square and used varied colour schemes for making them too! The large letters from the Be Bold Color Block Collection stand out and add color for a fabulous colour block design. These dies are truly one a kind and so fun to create a variety of card designs! I LOVE Slimline Cards and it’s been a while since I…

    Hot Foiling the Be Bold Color Block Collection

    November 4, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello! My name is Jen Kotas and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got two cards to share with you made using the new Be Bold Color Block Collection. What a fun collection with so many ways to use them creatively! I decided not to add any embellishments since there was so much shiny hot foil there already. If you don’t do hot foiling (though I highly recommend it), you could use stamps instead. For the Christmas card, you could foil the cardstock first and then die cut but I wasn’t sure what I was doing when I cut it ahead of time. Make sure…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so happy to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Be Bold Colorblock Collection from Spellbinders.  The eye-catching sentiment designs in this collection inspired me to create two bright and fun cards perfect for expressing yourself in a big way. The Be Bold Colorblock Merry Christmas Die Set really creates a showstopping background when you mix bright colors.  I added a few cute gnomes to this vibrant card front for a simple and fun Christmas slimline card.

    Color Block Merry Christmas – Two Takes

    November 2, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hello fellow crafters. It’s Jean sharing slimline holiday cards created with the Be Bold Color Block Merry Christmas die set, part of the Be Bold Color Block Collection. As a fan of pop art, such as Robert Indiana’s Love Sculpture in New York, (which first appeared as a Christmas card for The Museum of Modern Art), I was immediately drawn to this collection. Let’s see how I changed the look of the card with construction method, as well as cardstock and patterned paper choices. My first card features glitter cardstock letters in non-traditional Christmas colors. Create a white glitter cardstock base 3 ½ x 8 ½ inches. Die-cut letters from…
