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.

 

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.

 

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.

Spooky Face Spinning Card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun Halloween themed Mini Slimline card I created using products from Spellbinders August 2026 All Clubs Crate. The dies used to create this card are one of the bonus dies you receive if you all the All Clubs Crate.

I used the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month ... Spooky Web, to add texture to the back of the card. This embossing folder includes two designs, so I used the stripes for this one.

 

I used spinners to add the eyes to the card which means the eyes can spin around and around, which is such a fun effect. You can see how the eyes spin, but watching the video above.

For the inside of the card, I added a few more eyes, this time using green cardstock. I added a couple of the sentiments and images from the Clear Stamp/Die of the Month ... Trick or Snark.

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.

Trick or Treat

Hi Crafty Friends,

As I have two grandchildren, I need two treat holders to give to them for Halloween. This is the second one I made using the Stitching Die of the Month from Spellbinders All Crates Club for August 2026. If you missed seeing the other one I made scroll down a few days and you will find it.

Although this is a stitching die set, I opted not to do the stitching, but I still used the insert dies that create the holes as I thought that added to the "aged" look a mummy would have. This die set is called Frank-N-Stitch.

I also used the 3D Embossing Folder ... Spooky Web for the black back panel. This embossing folder has two different designs on the one folder and I used the stripes for this project.

To create the treat bag itself, I again pulled out the Divinity Designs Card Caddy & Gift Bag die set, omitting the handle included in the set.

 

Boo Mobile

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am back with a 5 x 7 Halloween card I created using some of the products from Spellbinders All Clubs Crate for August 2026. 

Most of the dies used on this card are from the Large Die of the Month ... Boo Mobile. What fun!

I added a road to the bottom of the card, using a die from Lawn Fawn that I have had in my stash for years.

For the inside of the card, I repeated the road at the bottom of the card. I added a sentiment from the Clear Stamp/Die of the Month ... Trick or Snark. I also added a few bats around the sentiment.
