    August 22, 2022 / 6 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! This is Babi and I am so excited to share with you my first Guest Design projects featuring the Gnome for Christmas collection. For the first project,  I used Argyle Socks embossing folder and Gnome Tree dies to create a card in traditional Christmas colors. Trim white cardstock to 4×5.25” to create the main panel. Blend Candied Apple and Festive Berries Distress Oxide over the panel. Once the ink dries, emboss the panel using Argyle Socks embossing folder. Die cut Gnome Tree in white cardstock. Blend Forest Moss, Peeled Paint, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide onto the gnome clothes. Blend Ground Express onto the shoes and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Be Merry Collection from Spellbinders.  The fun die sets, sweet holiday images, and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cute cards perfect for sending a little Christmas cheer. DELIVERING WARM HUGS CHRISTMAS CARD I fell in love with the adorable bear in the Chill Bear Die Set and knew I had to use him on a card right away.  With a fun stenciled background and a stack of tiny gifts, I created this simple and cozy Christmas card.

    August 2, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello!  It’s Andrea Shell here with you, and I’m super excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog again. I got to play with the amazing Be Merry Collection, and I’m totally smitten with it!
