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.

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.

 

Halloween Spinning Ghost Card

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another fun 5 x 7 Halloween card I created using products from Spellbinders August 2026 All Clubs Crate. 

For this card I used the Stencil of the Month ... Peek A Boo. I layered it onto a 5 x 7 background using the Embossing Folder of the Month, Happy Jacks. 

I added the ghost which is from the Press & Foil of the month ... Boo! Humbug using a spinner. The ghost spins around and around, which is lots of fun. You can see the card in action by viewing the video above.

For the inside of my card, I added another panel of the embossed card to the bottom edge of the card. I also used the stencil again to add two pumpkins using just 3 of the stencils. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the Clear Stamp/Die of the month ... Trick or Snark.

Magical Wishes

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card using products from Spellbinders March 2024 Club Kits.

For the blue background panel I used the Checkered Scallops Embossing Folder, which was the embossing folder for that month.

I used the books from the Large Die of the Month ... Classic Tales. The Owl is from the Small Die ... Wise Owl.

For the sentiment I gold glimmered the sentiments from the Glimmer of the month ... Sketched Lines.

To finish off the card I added some gems.

For the inside of the card, I added another panel of the embossed blue card along the bottom. I added the open book on top of this panel. I finished the card by adding a sentiment using the Stamp of the month Storytime Gnomes.

Winterberry Poinsettia

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing four Christmas cards I created using products from Altenew.

For this card I used the Winterberry 3D Embossing Folder & coordinating stencils. I figured while I have all the inks etc out I might as well make 4 as one, after all I need to make a number of cards to send out each Christmas.

Here is a close up of my card. After stencilling the card, I added gold splatter to the card.

For the sentiments I found some already made gold glimmer foiled Christmas sentiments. I had two of each type of sentiments, so I used those on these cards. 

This is the same card as the one above, just the sentiment is differed. Two say "Season's Greetings" and the other two say "Merry Christmas".

I kept the inside fairly simple, added a red strip that I also gold splattered to the bottom of the card.

I also stamped a Christmas sentiment in gold to the top portion of the card. This is an older stamp set from my stash.

Pink Poinsettia

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two A6 Christmas cards I created using products from Altenew.

To create the poinsettia I used Altenew’s Lush Botanicals: Poinsettia Die set & 3D Embossing Folder. 

I added a textured background using Spellbinders July 2026 3D Embossing Folder of the Month … Festive Greetings.

The sentiment is from the Merry Messages Betterpress Plate which i foiled with gold glimmer foil.

I stamped an older Christmas sentiment to the inside of my card using gold ink.

Let the Merry Begin

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Christmas Card using some of the products from Spellbinders July 2026 All Clubs Crate.

For my card today I created a Slimline Card using the Small Die of the Month, I love those cute penguins. It's summer down here at Christmas time, but I do enjoy making a few wintery cards for Christmas. 

For the snow portion of my card, I used the Streamline Embossing Folder designed by Simon Hurley for Spellbinders. 

I added two sentiments, one from the July 2026 Press & Foil set of the month and the other an older Mama Elephants stamp ... if I have penguins on a Christmas card, I have to use that sentiment lol!

I added a older Christmas sentiment from Made To Surprise and added the snow embossing folder and penguin to the bottom.

Cue The Holiday

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two 5 x 7 Christmas cards using mostly products from Hero Arts Hero Handmade Holiday Workshop 2025. I didn’t get around to playing with anything in this kit last year, as the end of the year wasn’t the greatest for me, ending up in hospital 3 times in 3 months. But I do love anything record related.

Earlier this month, Hero Arts released all the products included in this set individually so those who didn’t get it back then could purchase it now. Included in this release are two stamp sets for occasions other than Christmas that can be used with the records. I can’t wait to play with those.

For the background on this card I pulled out Spellbinders Poppy cardstock & the Music Notes Embossing Folder.

I used the Drop the Needle die set to create the record & record player parts. I used two of the sentiments from the Swinging Christmas stamp set to add the record label in the centre of the record.

To finish off the front of the card, I added a Christmas sentiment from Waffle Flower Crafts.

 

For the inside of the card, I added the left over piece of embossed card along the bottom edge. I added a sentiment from the Wishing You stamp set. 

Poppin' By To Say

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Slimline Card I created recently. This one uses Spellbinders large die of the month from May 2026. Unfortunately my All Clubs Crate for May went missing on its way from the USA to Australia ... it never left the USA. I was able to get a refund, but it means I missed out on the kit and the freebies. Anyway, I did end up reordering the large die of the month as I really liked this set.

The die set creates a partial soda can, but with a bit of partial die cutting I was able to make a larger can. I used the Press & Foil set from March 2026 to add the Birthday Wishes to the lower left side of the can. I then used the lemon/lime die in the large die of the month to add the limes to cover the remainder of the can.

For my background of my card I used the Lemon Fresco Embossing Folder, which is from the Weekender 2025 kit. I embossed on white cardstock and then went over the raised areas using green ink.

To finish off the front of the card, I added the straw, lime, umbrella & bird to the top of the soda can.

For the inside of the card, I added another can to the bottom right corner of my card. For the sentiment I pulled out an older Spellbinders stamp/die set called Bubble Over, which worked perfectly with the theme of this card.

Candy Cane Swing

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Spellbinders July Club Kits normally have a Christmas theme to them to coincide with Christmas in July. This years All Clubs Crate didn't disappoint! My kit arrived last Wednesday, so I wasted no time pulling out all the die sets and assembling all the fun images.

For my first card using the kits, I used the All Clubs Crate Bonus die set ... Candy Cane Swing. This die set comes with the candy cane which does swing back and forth, the bow, greener, snowman & penguin.

I decided to pull out my Made To Surprise 5 x 7 Side Panel Card die set to create a Side Panel Card. I die cut it from white, and then used red and white for the layers. I used the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month ... Festive Greetings to add texture to the white panels.

On the side panel on the right, I added a Merry using an older MFT die set called Stacked Merry. I also added two stamped sentiments from the Merry Sentiments Clear Stamp/die set designed by Lisa Horton for Spellbinders.

I added a panel on the back so I had a place to add an additional sentiment & a place to write a personal greeting.

The sentiments used here are from the July 2026 Clear Stamp/Die of the Month ... Cue the Merry.

Aloha in Full Bloom

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another card I created recently using some of the products from Spellbinders All Clubs Crate for June 2026.

For this card I used the Stencil of the month to create the floral image. I then cut this down to fit onto the centre of a Slimline card. Before attaching it to my card, I used my Betterpress to add the sentiment from the Press & Foil of the month.

I embossed the panels on the base of my card using one of the embossing folders from the May 2026 Embossing Folder of the month.

For the inside of my card, I used the stencils again using all but the one with the leaf. 

I added a sentiment using one from Kristina Werner.
