Christmas Traditions Inspiration with Andrea Shell
Hello! It’s Andrea Shell with you, and I’m delighted to be back as a guest on the Spellbinders blog. Today I have three cards to share with you using the festive Christmas Traditions Collection. My first card features the beautiful Rejoice Nativity Etched Dies. These dies make it so easy to create elegant Christmas cards! I cut the frame die from gold foil paper, white cardstock, and two shades of brown. I trimmed “rejoice” from the white frame and the manger from the dark brown one and layered them onto the gold frame. I cut the sky background from navy cardstock and layered it onto a white oval. I glued…
The Christmas Traditions Collection – Three Takes on the Nativity Scene
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing holiday cards created with the Christmas Traditions Collection at Spellbinders. The nativity products in this collection caught me eye, as I vividly remember a Christmas card depicting the Wise Men that I saw as a young child.

A color palette of white, gold, and a touch of silver put the emphasis on the nativity focal point.

Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together | Shadowbox Gift Card Bag by Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m happy to be back on the blog today to share a fun and festive gift card bag made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. I love the versatility of electronic cutting machines, but often times when they are used with paper crafting the results can look a little flat. By integrating embossing folders, stencils, and dies that layer or even emboss, you can take an ordinary gift bag to the next level. I loved the idea of these shadowbox gift card bags as a fun way dress up an otherwise ordinary gift card exchange…
