Hi, everyone! It's Emily Leiphart here again with another guest designer post featuring the new Folk Art Collection by Lene Lok. Today, I used the Nordic Blooms and Nordic Floral dies to create an oval wreath.

Hi crafty friends! This is Keeway Tsao and I’m thrilled to be returning today for another guest post with Spellbinders featuring the Folk Art Collection by Lene Lok. Folk Art as I familiar with is usually packed with tons of color. For this card, I decided to google “folk art” to get inspired by folk art itself, and this time color my die cuts. Given...
