Spellbinders Christmas Flea Market Finds

Welcome to a new release from Spellbinders! Today, several new collections from Spellbinders are live in the shop and I'll be sharing another blog post today as well. The first collection I'm creating with is from the Christmas Flea Market collection, designed by Cathe Holden. Gosh, she's talented! There are several products that I'll be sharing here today so be sure and scroll down for details. You'll also find affiliate product links at the end of this post.

I created a trio of vintage style boxes and bowls with the Vintage Style handcrafted square base and side bowl etched die set , along with the Handmade for the Holidays paper pad. The papers in this collection are absolutely gorgeous!

Since the paper pads are single sided, I decided to make mine double sided with adhesive sheets! So easy, just peel the backing on one adhesive sheet and apply to the backside of cardstock/paper. Then, peel the top layer off the adhesive sheet and lay down your second piece of decorative paper on top and it's ready to die cut. I would recommend that you burnish the adhesive sheet before applying the second sheet to remove any air bubbles and to effectively adhere the papers together.

Now, the inside of my boxes/bowls look pretty too!

For my stitching, I wanted to keep the color neutral so as not to clash too much with my pretty papers. I used DMC embroidery floss #841. I used the entire 6 strands to make it really stand out. I tried fewer strands but wasn't getting the fullness that I wanted to achieve. You'll definitely want to use a needle that has a slightly larger hole to get all those strands threaded.

I also found, when stitching the die cut sides and base together, it seemed to work better for me to stitch 3 sides together first, then stitch the base and then the 4th side.

I also made a few pretty little vintage style round labels with the Handmade Holidays clear stamp set.

You can use a small circle die or circle punch to make these. I stamped my wreath and center image on white cardstock using my Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink pad. I also ink blended just a bit on the outer edges of my circle with my Scrapbookcom Leather hybrid ink and also swiped around the circle with my ink pad. 

It's definitely giving me vintage vibes!

To finish it off, I punched a tiny hole with my Spellbinders Tool N One and tied some burlap string. This is one of my FAVORITE tools in my arsenal. I use it all the time!

Toss in some shredded paper and fill your box with goodies for home decor or gift giving.

If you'd like to add some of these delicious products to your stash for creating handmade gift giving items this holiday season, I hope you'll use the convenient affiliate links that I've provided below. There is no additional cost for you to do so. 

There is much more in this collection than what you've seen here today, so be sure and hop over to Spellbinders to check it out! Thanks so much for stopping by!
