Elf Slider Card

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Recently Hero Arts released some new fun Halloween themed Big Mouth dies which work with the mechanism I got last year to make the Big Mouth Nutcracker. At the time I thought .... oh I wish there was an elf or something similar I could use for Christmas. 

Well someone else had the same thought as she had turned the Big Mouth Vampire into an elf which I loved and figured I could do something similar so I ordered the die. This card is inspired by one made by Julie White Currier.

I pulled out the Elf Hat from Waffle Flower Crafts to use as hat, it was easy enough to make it fit on my elf's head. I also used some elf themed sentiments to add to the mouth when you pull the tab down.

I kept the inside simple, seeing the focus is on the outside. Just adding another of the sentiments from the Waffle Flower Crafts stamp set.

Postal Rub Ons

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two Christmas themed Mini Slimline cards I created recently.

Both these cards uses rub ons from the Oh What Fun Virtual Event. Some of these rubs included in this pack are small, so they are perfect to use with the Mini Slimline Postage Collage dies.

I added mat layers to my cards using colours used on the rub ons.

For the inside of the card I added a stamped sentiment stamped in blue to match the sentiments on the front.

Tidings of Comfort & Joy

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Christmas themed card using Rub Ons and an Embossing Folder from Spellbinders.

For the embossing folder I used the A2 Ornate Molded Frame Embossing Folder. I die cut it from both red and white cardstock, cutting out the centre section from the white panel. I added rub ons to the white panel using the Season of Joy Rub Ons set. I layered this to an A2 card.

I added two sentiments to the inside using the Holiday Banner Greetings Press & Foil Plate.

Fa La La

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Christmas themed Pop up card using one of the new pop up die sets from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott’s Say It With Words Collection.

For this one I used the Fa La La Pop up die set. 

To decorate my card, I pulled out Spellbinders penguins from the July 26 Small Die of the Month.

The sentiment is an old Mama Elephant one that I love to pull out when adding penguins to a Christmas card.

I added greenery to the top of the card using a die set from Altenew.

I kept the front simple, adding pattern paper from the collection and then adding Merry Christmas 

Christmas Blessings

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a shaped Christmas card I created recently. This cards uses Rub Ons from Spellbinders as well as their Greenwich Market Frame Embossing Folder.

This embossing folder embosses and cuts at the same time. So I placed a panel of red cardstock into the folder and embossed die cut it out. I then used Lisa Hortons Gold ink to add color to the embossed detail, however this wasn't as gold as I wanted and as I couldn't find my rub ons but did find a gold distress crayon I used that to add more gold to the detail.

I used just the cutting die on its own to die cut a folded white card base which I attached to the back of the embossed panel.

I die cut a white rectangle panel using the die that also comes in this embossing folder and used that with the Spellbinders Joyful Season Rub Ons to add the Christmas Tree & the sentiment.

For the inside of the card I added two sentiments using Spellbinders Holiday Banner Greetings Press & Foil plate.

A Gift For You

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun 5 x 7 Christmas card I created recently. This card uses more dies I received for participating in the Spellbinders Oh What Fun Virtual Event recently. This two dies can make a fun gift card holder, but as I don't have any need for those at this present time, I decided to use them to make a card.

This card uses Spellbinders Santa's Gift Bag & North Pole Besties die sets. I think these dies are exclusive until sometime in 2027.

For the background I used the Diamond Blocks Embossing folder.

For the inside of the card I used two of the sentiment stamps from Hero Arts Holiday Magic stamp set.

 

Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Christmas card I created during the Spellbinders Oh What Fun Virtual Event that I participated in at the end of August. This card was by Channin Pellitier and is a wiper card which are always lots of fun to create.

 

For this card I used Hero Arts Bug Fun Die set along with their In The City stamp and die set and Holiday Magic stamp set.

I love the big Santa balloon that hides behind the buildings until you pull the sides out.

I added a panel on the back and added a few more buildings and a car. I also added another sentiment.

Here Comes Santa

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 Christmas card I created using Hero Arts Beep Beep die set. I used the tree in the accessory set to add trees to the outside scenery.

The road is from an older Lawn Fawn die set I have in my stash.

I added more trees & snow to the bottom of my card. I also added a sentiment.

 

Reaching New Heights

Hi Crafty Friends,

A couple of weeks ago, I took part in Spellbinders Oh What Fun! Virtual event. Each participant was sent a fun kit which included stamps, dies, rub ons,  cardstock etc. For our first class we had Yana Smackula teach a fun interactive card using the New Heights Ladder die set and Top It Off Deer Stamp/Die set.

When you pull the tab at the top of the card, the cute deer climbs the ladder to add another bow to the tree.

I kept the inside very simple for this one just adding the sentiment which is also from the Top It Off Deer Stamp/Die set.

 

Chip Chip Hooray

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

A few weeks ago, I was looking for inspiration on chip packets when I came across two packet type products  that looked like monsters. Neither had chips inside, I think it was marshmallows & chewing gum or such. But as I had already been playing with my monster dies from Spellbinders August 26 All Clubs Crate an idea game to being.

I created a 5 x 7 card and pull out the stamps & dies from Hero Arts All That Collection. The chip packet was created using the Snack Attack die set as well as the teeth and eyes from Stitching Die of the Month from Spellbinders All Crates Club for August 2026

I die cut a bunch of chips, some of which I added to the centre of the chip packet which I enclosed into the packets using acetate which I had white embossed the word "chips" from the Chip Chip Hooray Stamp set. I then added the teeth ( did have to cut off two teeth from the sides) but otherwise they fit wonderfully. I added the eyes to the top of the chip packet.

I used Waffle Flower Crafts A7 Piercing Sunburst Texture Plate for the background panel, adding shading to the edges.

I stamped and die cut two sentiments using the Chip Chip Hooray Stamp set and then positioned everything onto my card.

For the inside of my card, I added one more sentiment and added three of the left over chips.

I also had a small strip of the background paper from the front, so I added it along the bottom.

Up, Up and A-Ghoul

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Halloween themed Money Card, that I created recently to give to one of my grandchildren for Halloween in October. 

This is another of the projects I created using products from Spellbinders August 2026 All Clubs Crate which had a Halloween theme to the products.

If nothing else I know the grandkids will love this, as there is money rolled up in the clear piece at the bottom of the card!

For this money card, I used the Press & Foil Set  ... Boo! Humbug along with a die from one of the kits from March 2024 which is the open book. The skull is from the Large Die of the Month ... Boo Mobile.

I also used a sentiment from the Clear Stamp/Die of the Month ... Trick or Snark.

To create the Money Card itself, I used another older MFT Stamps die set called Money Card.

I decorated the back of my money card using s few more die cut images and a couple of sentiment. 

The money can be retrieved from the card by pulling the part of the note which is peeking out of the slit on the back of the card.
