Spellbinders October 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share two holiday cards created with the Spellbinders October 2021 Large Die of the Month “Santa’s Fireplace.” This jam-packed set includes dies to create the fireplace, add Santa and/or a fire, as well as accessorize with a wreath, stockings, and/or candlesticks. There are a variety of sentiments that can be included as part of the fireplace hearth. Find out more about this set here.

On both cards, I created card backgrounds with patterned paper in the Christmas Traditions pad.
I dry-embossed the firebox area with the Striped Slimline folder.
I die-cut the Large Die of the Month pieces from a variety of cardstocks including red and white flocked paper, textured white, brushed silver, silver foil, black foil, woodgrain, and green glitter.
On the first card, I used the knock out of the sentiment hearth die to personalize the stockings.
