    Tinsel Time Christmas Cardmaking with Raquel Arribas

    August 30, 2022 / 2 Comments

    Hello crafters! This is Raquel Arribas, I’m so happy to be here today to share with you some inspiration with the Spellbinders Tinsel Time Collection. This is such a versatile, fun and gorgeous release and I’m sure you are going to love it as much as I do. Dancing Nick Card My first project features the Dancin’ St. Nick die set. I wanted to create a fun yet nontraditional Santa Klaus as my focal point… For me, color is the key when creating so every time I start any design I take my time until I have decided the right color combination.

    August 19, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hello Crafty Friends, my name is Maria Peters, and I am an enthusiastic card maker and color lover from Hamburg, Germany. I love to create colorful cards with dimension.

I am so excited to be a guest designer for Spellbinders today. Thank you so much for your invitation! I created three Christmas themed Cards with the brand-new Slimline Holiday Collection.

This versatile collection of slimline die sets and embossing folders can be used to create distinctive projects for any number of occasions, including Christmas. Let’s take a look! Did you know?
