Custom Christmas Gift Tags by Annie Williams – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog once again today to share some pretty foiled gift tags made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders.

Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together | Shadowbox Gift Card Bag by Annie Williams

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…

To make this kind of frames all you will need to cut your paper 2″ wider than the width of the die you want to use to cut the center window. Then,…
