Christmas - Right as Rain

Spellbinders Christmas 2021 – Open House Collection – Part One

Hello! I am delighted to be sharing a Christmas card created with the just-released Open House Collection at Spellbinders. This collection can be used for a variety of holidays and occasions. Doors are one of my favorite card motifs. The idea of having friends and family at our door and into our home, after this past year plus, is a welcome idea! I will share another card from the collection tomorrow (the one on the left in the photo below).

The card I am sharing today measures 6 inches tall by 6 1/4 inches wide when fully opened. When closed, the card is 3 1/8 inches wide. I used double-sided, patterned paper for my base. The paper was scored so that two panels open to reveal the Christmas door in the center with stacks of packages on either side.

I die-cut two Topiary from Brushed Gold cardstock, glitter cardstock, brown cardstock, and gold foil and assembled the pieces.

I die-cut the door and side panels with the Open Door Base and Side Panel die sets from red felt cardstock, and Snowdrift cardstock. For the window panes, I die cut as vellum adhered to cardstock to which I added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

I glimmer foiled the Tis the Season sentiment on to red felt cardstock and trimmed in so that it would fit on the door in the mail slot area. The top arched window was decorated with greenery and a bow.

I used the Shopping Spree set to cut stacks of packages from patterned paper and gold foil. I chose to keep the packages flat since the panels closed. If this had been a non-folding card, I would have popped them up with foam adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by! I will share another card (the one shown on the left in the top photo) tomorrow.
