    Color Block Merry Christmas – Two Takes

    November 2, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Hello fellow crafters. It’s Jean sharing slimline holiday cards created with the Be Bold Color Block Merry Christmas die set, part of the Be Bold Color Block Collection. As a fan of pop art, such as Robert Indiana’s Love Sculpture in New York, (which first appeared as a Christmas card for The Museum of Modern Art), I was immediately drawn to this collection. Let’s see how I changed the look of the card with construction method, as well as cardstock and patterned paper choices. My first card features glitter cardstock letters in non-traditional Christmas colors. Create a white glitter cardstock base 3 ½ x 8 ½ inches. Die-cut letters from…

    Candy Colored Christmas Cards with Maria Peters

    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. Lately I have rediscovered die cutting and have made many cards using die sets only. But I still love coloring as well. I share my cards regularly on Instagram. 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. For two cards, I took inspiration from the 1950s and chose candy colors. This is what I came up with. Big…

    August 17, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing three slimline holiday cards created with the 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? The word kaleidoscope is derived from Greek and translates to “observation of beautiful forms.” I’ve created a Christmas card in which I cut kaleidoscope layers from foil and glitter cardstock to add color and texture. Cut Circle Kaleidoscope frame from Snowdrift cardstock; back with red foil cardstock. Adhere to 8 ½” x 3 ½” Brushed Gold cardstock base. Die cut three sets…

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be sharing three cards with you today using the new Open House Collection. This die cutting collection features four sets that you can mix and match to create wonderful front door scenes. These are perfect for Christmas/winter cards, like I have used them today, but these would work equally well for non-holiday cards too. FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS CARD My first card is a card that would be lovely to send to holiday guests inviting them to stay, or simply as a holiday card in general. It could even be used as a non-holiday card! I started off by…

    Hello, crafty friends! I am Laura Evangeline, and I am excited to join you here as a guest blogger for the first time. I grew up in Texas, and after a few trips around the world with the Army, I now call Nashville “home” along with my handy husband, who is soon to retire from the Army, and also my spunky 10-year-old son. I can’t forget our two Yorkies, Max and Penny too! I started making cards a few decades ago now, but after taking a long break I realized it was more than a silly hobby. I wholeheartedly credit my mental health and well-being to crafting and the amazing…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Be Merry Collection from Spellbinders.  The fun die sets, sweet holiday images, and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cute cards perfect for sending a little Christmas cheer.

    Hello!  It’s Andrea Shell here with you, and I’m super excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog again. I got to play with the amazing Be Merry Collection, and I’m totally smitten with it! These stamps and dies are so much fun, and I think you’ll agree with me. Family & Friends Shopping Spree Card My first card features the Shopping Spree Dies, which I cut from a combination of cardstock and Deco Foil Flock. To cut the flock details, I first adhered the flock to white cardstock and then die-cut it with the Shopping Spree Dies. For the gifts I used the Christmas Wishes Paper from the November…
