Easy and Fun Handmade Advent Calendar with Kraft Pop & Lock Boxes
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a fun handmade advent calendar made with Kraft Pop & Lock Boxes. These versatile boxes are easy to decorate and the perfect size for a little gift…so why not customize and give twenty-five of them to someone who deserves a fun surprise every day until Christmas! I started by assembling all twenty-five boxes. Just as the name suggests, the boxes pop and lock into place very easily! Each box measures about 3” x 3” x 3”, plenty big enough for something like an average-sized ornament. I’m making this advent calendar for my…

Merry Mug & Circle Delights Inspiration
Hello everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! I’m so happy to be here today on the Spellbinders Blog! I want to share with you three Christmas cards I created featuring the new amazing Merry Mug & Circle Delights Collection! RUDOLPH The first card I realized is featuring the super fun Festive Ornaments and Santa’s Festive Circle Crew Etched Dies! I die-cut the circle base for my reindeer using kraft card stock, and then I blended the edges with some Distress Ink. After that, I die-cut the other parts and colored them with Copic Markers. At this point, I assembled the reindeer. I realized the base of my card by…

It’s Time to Get Stitching with Stitched for Christmas!
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m happy to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing some holiday cards using the Stitched for Christmas collection. Yes, Christmas! I’ve been crafting long enough to remember when companies would release their Christmas products in November, which never left me enough time to use them. So, I am thrilled to see Christmas in July. Chose a slightly nontraditional Christmas color palette, substituting aqua or teal for green. Note: I made these cards before the sentiments in this collection were available, so I used sentiments from last year’s collections. Warm & Cozy Sweater This card was inspired by all the sweaters my mom made…

Magical Deer: Christmas and Beyond with Joan Bardee
Joan Bardee here and I am honored to share 3 ways to use the gorgeous Magical Deer Etched Dies from the Winter Tales Collection. They were designed by the talented Zsoka Marko and fit beautifully with the rest of that Collection. The first thing I thought of when I saw this die set was folk art. After looking at dozens of folk-art designs on Pinterest, I was inspired to make a few cards with dark backgrounds. After years of making white-only backgrounds, it’s fun to try something new. For these cards, I used black, but any dark background, particularly a deep cranberry, green, or navy would be awesome. Magical Christmas…

Nordic Ornaments 3 Ways Christmas Cardmaking With Michelle Short
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Nordic Ornaments Etched Dies from the Winter Tales Collection by Zsoka Marko. The whole collection is amazing, but I am focusing on the Nordic Ornaments today to share three different ways to use them. SEASON’S GREETINGS For my first project, I wanted to go with a Nordic feel, so I chose a color palette of red and blue, with lots of white space. I die-cut the longer of the two Nordic Ornaments twice from Cosmic Sky, Glacier and Poppy Field Cardstock. The toppers were die cut using Brushed Silver Cardstock. I assembled and adhered them using Bearly Art Glue,…

Winter Tales Collection Introduction with Zsoka Marko
Hi, there crafty friends, Zsoka here with you to introduce my very own Spellbinders collection, called Winter Tales! I’m equally excited and nervous about what you guys think, but I hope you’ll love it as much as I do. I can’t thank Spellbinders enough for this amazing opportunity, I will be forever grateful! This collection was inspired by my love for folklore. If you’ve been following me for a while, you might already know this: I used to do folk dancing when I was a kid, up until high school when I went to a boarding school and had no time for it anymore. My dad also used to organize the biggest folklore festival…
