Merry Stitchmas Coordinating Card Duo with Angela Simpson
Hi there, Spellbinders friends! My name is Angela and I’m honored to be guest posting here on the Spellbinders blog.

If you’re brand new to stitching dies, don’t worry at all, because I am too! Having only made a few stitched cards prior to the launch of this collection, I certainly consider myself a beginner. That said, these are super easy to work with and I know you’ll get the hang of them very quickly! Here’s a quick step-by-step for each card: Sparkling Mandala The Sparkling…

Dimensional Poinsettia DIY | Spellbinders Live
Join Kim Kesti in the Creative Classroom as she creates a beautiful realistic poinsettia from Susan’s Holiday Flora Collection, from Spellbinders’ licensed designer Susan Tierney-Cockburn. Watch video below or on our Youtube channel: Poinsettia are the quintessential holiday flower, aren’t they? Susan’s Poinsettia die set is fairly simple and it’s a great floral die set to begin with. One of the best features of these five simple dies are the unique markings to show you how many times to cut each die (2x, 1x, etc.). You’ll see on the large die, it says 2X, which reminds you to cut this die two times to create the red leaves, (then cut one or…
