This beautiful collection features lots of snowflakes that can be used for different occasions. They are perfect for winter and Christmas cards especially!

Christmas Envelope of Wonder Card Tutorial
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share how I created this fun Christmas envelope card using the new Envelope of Wonder Collection from Spellbinders. I love the idea of stuffing a big envelope full of festive elements and thought it would be fun to add some details to the envelope itself as well. Start by cutting the main parts of the envelope out of Forest Cardstock and the top flap layer out of Brushed Gold Cardstock. Emboss all of the main envelope parts using the Holly & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder. Lightly rub Gold Rush Lunar Paste over the…

Creating “Oceans” Without Watercoloring Using the Seahorse Kisses Collection with Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! I’m Joan Bardee and today I am sharing 3 ocean-themed cards using the beautiful Seahorse Kisses Collection designed by Dawn Woleslagle. As I’m sure many of you know, Dawn Woleslagle is an amazing watercolorist. The Seahorse Kisses Collection would be beautiful watercolored. However, since I’m not on speaking terms with watercolors, I decided to create ocean backgrounds with ink blending on specialty papers. I hope you like the results. A Modern Inky Tide This abstract modern take on ocean tides was inspired by these amazing cards that Yana Smakula made with Spellbinders Glimmer Specialty Cardstock. This paper, designed to be the perfect paper for hot foiling, has a…

Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Limited Edition Stitching Die & Stamp Collection. I have two cards to share with you today. A Christmas card with simple stitching and then an everyday card with the stitching stepped up a little. The great thing about the Layered Stitched Diamonds Dies is that you can mix and match different components to have lots of stitching or less stitching, for different looks. There is also a stitched rectangle die that can cut the whole panel out. MERRY CHRISTMAS STITCHING For my first card, I took the base layer of Layered Stitched Diamonds, as well as the rectangle die,…
