Hello! A decorated mantel embodies the warmth and joy of the holiday season, making it the perfect inspiration for a Christmas card. Mantels are often the focal point of a home, traditionally adorned with garlands, stockings, and festive decor to set the tone for cozy holiday gatherings. This handmade card captures that charm with a beautifully crafted Christmas mantel, created entirely with Spellbinders products. The embossed background adds depth and elegance.
FYI – Black Friday Savings have begun at Spellbinders!
-
- To begin, create an A2-size card base with glitter gold cardstock.
- Cut a rectangle from Snowdrift cardstock with the largest die in the Nestabilities set.
- Dry-emboss the rectangle with the 3D Vintage Ornaments folder and adhere to the card base.
- With dies in the Mantel Village and Mantel Decorations sets, cut the mantel, houses, reindeer, banner, trees, and greenery from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble individual elements.
- Cut foam with the mantel die and adhere to the back of the die-cut mantel.
- To create depth on the mantel, attach the assembled houses and sentiment banner to the back of the mantel. Adhere the greenery to the reindeer and then attach that assembly to the front of the mantel.
- Finally, add the assembly to the card base, adding the trees to the card base on either side of the houses.
I previously shared a card created with these products HERE.
