Stencilled Snowman

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am still having fun playing with the products from Spellbinders October 2025 Club kits. For this card I used the Stencil of the month, Frosty Wishes. I used the stencil to allow me to trace & cut out the hat band from red glitter cardstock. I used the wax seal of the month to add the embellishment to the hat.

For the sentiment I used one of the stamps from the Clear Stamp of the month, which I white embossed on cranberry card.



For the inside of my card, I added the Cool Yule sentiment from Hero Arts.

You've Been Good


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Postage Collage Christmas card which uses products from Waffle Flower Crafts & Spellbinders.

The postage collage stencil used here is called Dear Santa and is from Waffle Flower Crafts. I also used the Postage Collage die snd two different Postage themed stamp sets from Waffle Flower Crafts & Made To Surprise.

For the background I used the Peppermint Stripes 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed using white card and then used red ink to swipe over the raised areas.

Finally I added the sentiment which is an older die from Honey Bee Stamps.



For the inside of the card, I added sentiment and a couple more of the postage themed cancellation stamps to the inside of the card.

For You Reindeer

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I am sharing a fun Christmas themed card I created recently using products from Spellbinders October 2025 Club kits. 

For this card I used the Peppermint Prancer die set which is the Stitched die of the month, however I opted  not to stitch this. I also used this months Caboodle set so that I could add the sentiment. For the background I used the Holiday Flurry Embossing Folder from this month.


I kept the inside simple, just adding the sentiment which is from the North Pole Friends Sentiment die set.

From Our Home To Yours

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have another fun Christmas card to share. This is another Easel Card, but this time around I created a 5 x 7 version.

For this card, I focused on Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for October which is Window Wonderland, this i s such a fun die set.

For the background of this card, I used the Brick by Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  I added two stamped sentiments to the card using the Clear Stamp set of the month.


Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.



For the base of my card, I only added the glitter cardstock to the part of the base which is visible when in the easel position. I kept the rest plain so I had a place to write a personal message.

Build A Snowman Slimline Easel

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a Christmas themed Slimline Easel card I created using products from Spellbinders. 

The theme for the Spellbinders October 2025 Club Kits is a Christmas/Winter theme and while it is Summer down here in Australia at Christmas time, I am loving all the new kits.

For the sky portion of my card, I used the Magic Wonderland Glimmer Plate to foil a panel of Malibu Cardstock with white foil. This was pretty easy to repeat on my slimline panel without any obvious lines.

I then used the Snow Day Friends which is the Small Die of the month to create my scene. I added two sentiments to the base of the card both of which are also included in the kits.


Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.


And the inside panel. I added glitter card to the base, so it looked like the snow used on the main image. There is still plenty of areas to write a personal message on this card.

Gingerbread Hugs Postage

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog,  Today I am sharing a Christmas theme Postage Collage Card using products from Waffle Flower Crafts & Spellbinders.

The Gingerbread Postage design was created using Waffle Flower Crafts Gingerbread Postage Collage Stencil and the coordinating Postage Collage die sets. The stencil is one I.got last year, but ran out of time to use it then,  so it has been one I wanted to use this year. I also added a combination of postage stamps to the finished design from both Waffle Flower Crafts & Made To Surprise.

For the background on my 5 x 7 card, I used Spellbinders Waffle Cone 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is also from Spellbinders.


For the inside I added the embossed border along the bottom of the card.

I also added the Gingerbread thened sentiment & the cute gingerbread girl & boy which are all from a stamp set from Chloes Creative Cards.

On The Nice List

 
Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing three fun Santa shaped cards I created using products from Concord & 9th.

I love making shaped cards, so of course that is the first type of card I decided to make using this collection of products.


To create this card I started by taking the main die from the Jolly St. Nick die set to cut the Santa face shape. I did cut one for the top of the card, and another where the top of the die overlapped the fold in the card so I could get a top folding base for the card.

Next I took the coordinating Jolly St. Nick Stencil set to add the details for the face, hat etc. This was pretty easy to line up 


Using the coordinating clear stamp set. I added both sentiments and the holly & berries to the hat. 

To finish off the card, I added Stardust Stickles to Santa's hat & glossy accents to the eyes and berries.


For the inside of the card, I added another of the sentiments included in the stamp set.

Three Magi Bridge Card

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I am sharing a Christmas card using Spellbinders The Three Magi Die set. For this card I created a Bridge Card, I have had this idea for this set for a while, and finally found some time to get the card made.


 I started with a piece of Spellbinders Cosmic Sky cardstock that measures 8 inches x 4 3/4 inches. I then scored along the 8 inch side at 1 1/4 inches and 2 1/2 inches on each side. I added patterned paper to each of the five sections, splatting them all. with gold ink to resemble stars.

I used a Slimline Hillside Border die to die cut the kraft panel which the Magi are standing on. I attached this to the base of my card to be the "bridge" of the card.


I assembled the Magi images using various colours of cardstock and attached them to the "bridge"

I added a gold foiled sentiment under the Magi using a sentiment from Spellbinders Merry & Bright Sentiment Strip Betterpress Plate.

To finish off the front of the card, I die cut the stars included in the set twice from gold mirror cardstock and adhered them to the card.


I added a white panel to the back of my card, adhering more stars to the top of the panel. I then added a stamped sentiment from the coordinating stamp set to the panel.

At Christmas Time

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing a Christmas themed Slimline card with you. 

For my card I used Pinkfresh Studio's Lantern Landscapes die set along with the coordinating Lantern Landscape Snowy Cottage stencil. 

For the background of my card I used the Branches 3D Embossing Folder by Simon Hurley/Spellbinders. 

I used a sentiment from Spellbinders Christmas Cheer Sentiments Betterpress Plate which I glimmered using gold foil. 

To finish off the card I added a bow from Spellbinders Christmas Cocktails die set at the top of the lantern.


For the inside of my card I added a sentiment using a Divinity Designs stamp set and added a couple of branches using the embossing folder that I used on the front.

Stitchmas Nutcracker


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Mini Slimline Christmas card using the final die set from Spellbinders 12 Days of Stitchmas 2025. Wow so many pieces in this set to creat this cute nutcracker, but it was easy enough to put together by just die cutting and assembling one section at a time. 

As you can see I did stitch the various pieces, I felt this one needed to be stitched, however I would have preferred to have some gold metallic embroidery floss rather than the thin gold thread I had to use as it was all I had. 

I added the sentiment from Hero Arts A Little Nuts stamp set, to the red panel on the left hand side of my card. To finish off the card, I added three gold pearls to the top of the same panel.


For the inside, I added another of the sentiments from the Hero Arts stamp set, and added a gold border to the right hand side of the card.
