Spellbinders UK Website Launch Celebration Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Spellbinders today to celebrate the launch of the UK website. If you are in the UK or Europe, product can now be shipped from the UK warehouse to avoid higher shipping costs and/or fees. Not everything is stocked in the UK shop but a lot of product is and they are adding more products all the time. We are celebrating with a fun, inspiration filled blog hop and giveaway. More on the hop below. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.


For my card today, I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Stitched Petal Diamond Etched Dies from the Stitchmas Christmas Collection from Spellbinders Cosmic Sky Cardstock twice. They were adhered together with Bearly Art Glue for added stability when stitching. I find this really helpful as with one layer of cardstock I sometimes end up bending or creasing the cardstock. 


Using DMC White Floss, I started Stitching the larger of the flowers (I think they are supposed to be flowers but I also thought they looked a little like snowflakes too) first. Once they were completed, I stitched the smaller flowers with dark blue DMC Floss. The panel was then adhered to an A2 white card base with Bearly Art Glue


I took the Spellbinders Stylish Merry Christmas Etched Dies from the Celebrate the Season Collection and die cut the shadow from white cardstock. I then die cut the word itself from Spellbinders Silver Pop-Up Die Cutting Glitter Foam Sheets, which was adhered to the shadow with more Bearly Art Glue and then the piece adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems
