Club Kits - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Snow Day Friends

Hello! The Spellbinders October Small Die of the Month kit, Snow Day Friends, captures the playful joy of winter in the most delightful way. I used the kit to create a Christmas card showing two bundled-up children building a snowman, with a stamped sentiment from the coordinating Stamp Kit. The illustration style of the die set brings a nostalgic, storybook charm.

Dry-emboss a Breeze cardstock panel with the Sparkling Snow folder and add to an A2-size card base.

Cut the snowman, snowball, snowbank, and children with dies in the Small Die of the Month kit from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.

With the October Stamp & Die set, stamp the sentiment and cut with the coordinating die.

Add assembled elements to the card base with foam adhesive and glue.

Spellbinders | Window Wonderland

Hello! The Spellbinders October Large Die of the Month, Window Wonderland, is all about capturing nostalgic charm. The card reminds me of something out of “A Christmas Story” (which was set in 1940).

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Cut the bay window structure twice with the Window Wonderland set. Using the window die outlines, cut out the windows from the front panel. This enables the drapes and tree to go inside the windows.
- Cut drapes and tree with the set and attach to the inside panel. Cut the detailed window frames and inlay to the frame created in the previous step. Adhere the two layers. Add additional details (trim, string of lights, snow on top of the window) using dies in the Window Wonderland set.
- Using the Window Wonderland set, cut the child, sled, and gifts from cardstock and assemble. Use the same set to create the snowbank.
- Use the sentiment die in the North Pole Sentiments set to cut “Merry Christmas” from the snowbank. Back with Pomegranate cardstock and add to the base of the card, providing enough room at the top to slide in the window assembly. Attach the child and sled with foam squares.

Hero Arts | Twinkle Lights Christmas Tree

Hello! Today’s card captures the holiday magic of a Christmas tree, sparkling with lights, in die-cut form. I featured the Twinkle Lights die set from Hero Arts, the October Hero Studio Die Set of the Month, as the star of the design and paired it with additional supplies from Hero Arts and Spellbinders to complete the scene.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Dry-emboss Classic White cardstock that has been cut with an arch with the Sparkling Snow folder. With the Festive Tree Die set, cut a tree shape from the center of the arch.
- With the Twinkle Lights set, cut light strands and bulbs from cardstock. Trim as necessary to fit within the tree shape. Assemble.
- Add a Fern cardstock panel behind the ornaments. Add the assembly to a Poppy cardstock arch and adhere to card base.
- Cut sentiment with dies in the North Pole Sentiments set. Add to the card.

Spellbinders | A Little Fall Charm

Hello! Autumn brings with it a sense of warmth and coziness, and I wanted to capture that feeling on my latest card. Using the September Stamp and Die Club offering at Spellbinders, I created a design filled with fall icons including acorns, pumpkins, pinecones, and squash. The sentiment, “a little fall charm, just for you,” makes it perfect for sharing the beauty of the season with someone special.

- Create an A2-size card base with Fawn cardstock.
- Using the September Clear Stamp set, stamp the sentiment and images with Potting Soil ink. Stencil the stamped images with Distress Inks using the Autumn Whim stencil (the September Deluxe Caboodle offering). Cut with the coordinating dies.
- Add sentiment and images to the prepared card base with foam squares.

Spellbinders | Santa Mug

Nothing says Christmas quite like Santa himself, and this handmade card brings him to life in the most festive way—a Santa-shaped mug created with the Cocoa Greetings die set (Spellbinders July 2025 Die of the Month kit). A Christmas-themed patterned paper background and a seasonal sentiment complete the design.

- Cut patterned paper with the Bow & Bell Scallop Frame set and add scalloped mat to an A2-size card base.
- Cut Santa with dies in the Cocoa Greetings set. Assemble.
- Press sentiment and cut with coordinating die.
- Add Santa and sentiment to prepared card base with foam.
