    A Sweet Christmas Inspiration | Lovely Layers Layout with Anna

    September 7, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Hello again crafty friends. Anna here and it’s time for my second project created featuring A Sweet Christmas collection by Sharyn Sowell. I already shared with you fun idea of Christmas lanterns and fast and easy card. You can find them here. This time I created a layout and it’s a special one. Why? Because I wanted to show you, that Christmas dedicated products can be fun all year round. I love spreading my supplies and finding new ways I can use them. Versatility is something I really appreciate. I feel like I spend my money well, if I can use products in a various range of projects. That’s why…

    Video Friday | Blue and White Christmas with Olga

    September 7, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Good morning everyone. Do you love blue and white color combo, probably with the touch of silver or gold? Have some blue and white china? Then what about going all blue and white this Christmas? I have used three die sets from the latest collection by Sharyn Sowell called A Sweet Christmas to create a place card plus a matching favor bag (it is in fact a chocolate bar holder) to be placed on each plate. Mistletoe Gatefold die is meant to create see-through tabs on a card BUT it also makes lovely intricate placement cards. This strip at the bottom (see the picture below) is supposed to be adhered…

The new “Sweet Christmas” Collection by Sharyn Sowell offers so many designs, from sweet and homey to elegant and detailed. Today’s card features this dainty and beautiful Mistletoe Gatefold Die set. Let’s get started! Instructions: The following are the step-by-step instructions and a few tips about this card “Love & Joy”. Create an interesting and colorful background: blend soft pink and yellow with any dye ink. Start from the folded area (top) to avoid smudges.

    September 5, 2018 / No Comments

    Hello dear Spellbinders’ fans! So glad to be with you again and to introduce you to the new collection of dies and stamps – A Sweet Christmas by Sharyn Sowell. It contains a lot of beautiful shapes of Christmas scenes and many other useful dies for holiday greeting cards. For today’s post I created Merry Christmas card using non-traditional color scheme. I created 4 ½ x5 ¾ ‘ top folding card base out of white cardstock. Then I cut out a panel out of yellow cardstock that is slightly smaller than the card base, covered edges with white ink and adhered it onto the card base. I die-cut two branches…

    A Sweet Christmas Inspiration | Collection Introduction by Sharyn Sowell

    September 4, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Hi, I’m Sharyn Sowell, sharing my new holiday die cuts. Home made is the essence of holiday joy, right? My inspiration for these dies was my own holiday strategy: slow down and make it simple and authentic. I embrace the happy memory-making creativity and refuse the myth of the superwoman perfectionist. I designed these dies for relaxed crafting. Let’s make the holidays stress free this year! Baking is my favorite holiday treat. Yours, too? Pick up the Recipe Card Stamp & Die set.  And by the way, this set isn’t specifically holiday so you can use it all year just by picking the right colors! The scallop edged recipe card…
