Spellbinders The North Pole Collection: Polar Bear Pals

 Hi crafty friends! We're continuing with Christmas in July with Spellbinders and today I am sharing a an adorable polar bear card using North Pole Friends Collection. This collection is designed by Simon Hurley and features 5 adorable Christmas die sets, a Penguin, Snowman (and Sentiments), Polar Bears, Santa and Elves! So adorable! If you missed my first card from this collection, you can check it out here.
 These adorable polar bears are from the Polar Bear Pals die set. This set has 3 polar bears and accessories for each.💖
For my die cut panel, I ink blended white cardstock and added some snowflakes that were cut from the glitter cardstock from the Antique White Assorted Treasure Cardstock pack. So many awesome cardstock in these packs! I matted it to Pomegranate cardstock.
 I used a piece of patterned paper from my stash and pulled the colors for the hats, sweater and scarf to coordinate. I die cut the polar bears from white and inked blended them with a combo of kraft and gray ink. These guys are so so cute!!
I love how this turned out!

Country Christmas Barn Star: 2 Star versions

 Hi crafty friends! I'm continuing with Christmas in July with Spellbinders and today I am sharing 2 versions of a card using the Country Christmas collection designed by Annie Williams. this collection features 5 die sets, one sentiment set and a 3D Embossing folder. Check out what I made and scroll down for a complete supply list.
This gorgeous star is from the Barn Star Wreath die set. This set features a stunning large star with 2 decorative inserts/designs and lots of gorgeous accessories! The star is designed with score lines down the center allowing for a dimensional star when folded or kept flat.
I kept my cards mostly the same, switching up the sentiments and with 1 showing the star flat and the other folded as a 3D element. 💥Scroll down for a close up showing the 3D.💥
My background is from the Wood Textures 8x8 paper pad by Craft Consortium which I thought highlighted the star perfectly. To add a bit of sparkle, I used the glitter and satin cardstock pieces from the Ruby Assorted Treasured Cardstock pack. I love how these turned out!

Spellbinders Christmas in July: North Pole Friends Collection

 Hi crafty friends! We're continuing with Christmas in July with Spellbinders and today I am sharing a mini slimline card using North Pole Friends Collection. This collection is designed by Simon Hurley and features 5 adorable Christmas die sets, a Penguin, Snowman (and Sentiments), Polar Bears, Santa and Elves! So adorable!
 These adorable snowmen are from the North Pole Sentiments die set. This is the sentiments set for this collection and features 6 sentiment options, a cute pole to post them to and a cute snowman with lots of accessories!
For my background, I ink blended with Distress Oxide inks and used some White Splatter. I die cut my snow bank from white cardstock to give the snowmen a place to sit. 
 You'll notice the 2 snowmen on the ends are holding a candy cane and a Christmas card, these are from the Yuletide Ride die set. I just thought they need a few gifts to present 💖 I added Sparkle Splatter Effects to the teal hat and scarves to give it some shimmer!
I love how this turned out! Stay tuned, I have another card with this collection!

Yappy Birthday Shaker Card

 Hi crafty friends! I'm here today with a fun shaker card featuring the new Leaping Dachshund die from the new Dog Days of Summer collection by Poppystamps!! Scroll down for a short video and complete supply list. 
I recycled stamp packaging and created a slim profile shaker element. To start, I inked blended the background with light blue ink and added some gold splatter. I sealed up 3 sides and then added a variety of sequins, sealed it up the top and adhered it to a card base.
I had the cute doggie leaping across the shaker element carrying a fun birthday balloon. I love how this turned out!

Here's a quick video with a close up of the shaker element.
