Christmas - Right as Rain

Spellbinders Card Kit – Christmas Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing five cards created with the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit from Spellbinders. The Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit, a holiday-themed cardmaking kit which was released in November 2019, contains ten cards and envelopes, nine pieces of cardstock, eight dies, a patterned paper pad, a stamp set, die-cut shapes, adhesive gemstones, chipboard elements, and adhesive. The kit is overflowing with product!

My first card combines patterned paper with die-cut shapes and adhesive glitter elements. This took just minutes to assemble.

My second card incorporates ornaments cut with dies in the kit from metallic gold cardstock which is also included. A chipboard element was used for the sentiment.

I used the kit’s poinsettia die on my third card with a heat-embossed sentiment from the included stamp set. Adhesive gemstones were added as embellishment.

My additional cards use the kit’s die-cut and chipboard pieces with patterned paper.

There is more inspiration for the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit within the product information. Thanks for visiting!

Spellbinders Season’s Greetings, Deer

Hello! Today I am sharing three CAS Christmas cards created with the Season’s Greetings, Deer die set from Spellbinders. Before we look at the cards, I want to let you know about a sale at Spellbinders which is now live and will be available until Sunday 10/11/2020.

Back to the Christmas cards.

The die set is back by popular demand; it was included in the November 2018 Card kit of the month club kit.

I took the same design approach on all three cards – varying the background paper and the materials from which I cut the hat, bow tie, poinsettia blooms and leaves, nose, and the sentiment.

I used the same colors for the antlers, head, and nose.

Because of the dark patterned papers, I glued the face pieces to vellum cut with a circle die.

I used red foil paper, a velvet-textured paper, and cardstock for the red decorative elements. I used both white glitter cardstock and white cardstock for the hat band, hat pom pom, sentiments, and leaves.

The die set includes three different shapes for the eyes. It’s easy to make the deer more feminine or masculine with the eye shapes.

On all three cards I cut the sentiment twice for depth.

On both cards, I combined the Small Die of the Month kit’s floral frame and floral elements with a die-cut Joy sentiment on a patterned paper background.

On the first card, I cut the frame and letters from Brush Gold cardstock and added Whip Cream floral elements to the stems and around the frame.
The letters were added with foam adhesive.
I scattered a variety of sequins on to the card once everything was assembled.

On the second card, I cut the frame and letters from Whip Cream cardstock and added red velvet floral elements to the stems and around the frame.
The letters were added with foam adhesive.
I scattered sequins on to the card once everything was assembled.

Spellbinders Christmas Foiled Basics

Hello! I recently shared three winter holiday cards on the Spellbinders Blog created with the Christmas Foiled Basics Collection by Yana Smakula.

I tried many different color combinations of Glimmer foil and cardstock. With more Glimmer foil experience under my belt, I was willing to foil several times on the same cardstock with different foil colors. At the same time, I took advantage of the collection’s companion dies to add foiled sentiments and elements without stress.
