Hello! Today, I’m sharing a festive Christmas card created with Yana Smakula’s City Holiday Collection for Spellbinders. My inspiration began with one of the Spellbinders Holiday Color Deck cards. You can read more about the cards HERE. I used the same illustration and palette as on the barn card HERE. With those colors as my guide, I created a charming apartment dressed for the holidays and finished the scene with a hot-foiled BetterPress sentiment for an elegant touch.
-
- Dry-emboss a 5″ x 7″ Raven cardstock panel with the Sparkling Snow folder. Add to a card base.
- Cut the City Holiday building and snowbank from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
- Hot foil in gold the Christmas Cheer sentiment and cut with the coordinating die. I cut foam with the same die and glued to the back for stability and depth.
- Adhere the building, snowbank, and sentiment to the prepared base using glue and foam squares.
Apartment building, great new die idea! Great card for the holidays in a different color palette.
Wow – what a mansion! Love how you decorated it for Christmas and I’m betting it would look fun haunted for Halloween too!!
Stunning card, Jean. Love the cat on the outside window ledge. Perfect.
This is such a darling, amazing card! Cute house/building and heartwarming pets! Thanks for sharing.
