SPECTACULAR SANTA, PERFECT TOUCH RECTANGLES AND A2 MERRY PAPER PAD

Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas collection, 2 card designs

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing 2 cards using the new Spectacular Christmas collection from Spellbinders. It features an adorable Bear, Reindeer, Penguin, Santa and a sentiment set. 

 

First up is the super cute Spectacular Bear die set. This set has the bear head and body, the body also fits the Penguin and Reindeer. 

I used a sentiment from the Merry Greetings die set and the background is paper from the A2 Snow Days paper pad.

 Next up is the adorable Spectacular Deer die set. This set has the deer head and I used the body and cupcake from the Spectacular Bear die set.

I didn't put a sentiment on this one, I thought the pattern paper worked perfectly. It is from the A2 Holiday paper pad.

Waffle Flower Postage Collage Christmas Stencil card

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a stenciled Christmas card using the Postage Collage Christmas stencil set. This amazing Postage Collage collection from Waffle Flower is so fun and easy to use.

-------------------------------------------------- 

Last year I made 2 cards using the gorgeous Postage Collage Poinsettia Stencil and the super cute Postage Collage Gingerbread Stencil, check them out if you missed them!

WAFFLE FLOWER POSTAGE COLLAGE DIE AND CHRISTMAS STENCIL

My card uses the Postage Collage die (this is the original size, they also have A6, A7, Slimline and Mini Slimline versions!) and the gorgeous Christmas stencil set called, Postage Collage Christmas stencil set. The sentiment is from the Elegant Christmas 2 Stamp and die set.

 

The stencil set has 4 layers that creates these collages. The stencils are numbered and have a description to help you pick your ink colors. The striped border is from the original stencil set called, Postal Collage Coloring Stencil. I added stickles to each stamp for some sparkle and for some dimension, I added a single poinsettia flower from Spellbinder's Christmas Blooms die set.

I've had this set for a year before I finally made time to use it! I just love everything in this brilliantly thought out collection!

Throwback Thursday: Timeless Trees - 2 card designs

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to another Throwback Thursday. Today I am sharing 2 of my favorite Christmas cards I made last year using the Timeless Trees Collection which is designed by Simon Hurley for Spellbinders.

My first card features the Vintage Layered Ornaments die set with some greenery from the Mantel Decorations die set and a single white poinsettia flower from the Holiday Blooms die set.

The sentiment at the bottom is from the negative from the "merry Christmas" banner from card 2.

VINTAGE LAYERED ORNAMENTS AND MANTEL DECORATIONS DIE SETS 

 

My second card uses the adorable Bottle Brush Trees die set and the Christmas banner from the  Mantel Decorations die set with a few things from the Ornaments sprinkled in (the bow and accent dots were negative pieces from the ornaments).

WHIMSICAL BOTTLE BRUSH TREES AND MANTEL DECORATIONS DIE SETS

 

Both cards use a piece of paper from the Snow Days A2 paper pad for the background along with gold glitter and gold satin cardstock. I used the Perfect Touch Rectangles die set for the white panel on both cards. The mantel greenery and adorable bottle brush trees were die cut from white cardstock and inked green. With the trees, I added touches of Snow-Tex added to the ends.

I love how both turned out!!

Simon Hurley Christmas Hugs

Hi crafty friends! I have a fun snowman card to share today. This cutie is from a stamp/die set designed by Simon Hurley for Spellbinders. And the background uses a Poly-Glaze foil sheet I had in my stash! Scroll down for a list of supplies. 

To make the background, I used the Poly-Glaze foil sheet called Blanket of Snow from Gina K Designs with the Deco-foil Sparkling Silver. To use these sheets, you need a use a laminator like Gina's Fuse machine or Anna Griffin's Minc. I ink blended the sheet with Distress Oxide Inks listed below. These Poly-Glaze sheets take ink beautifully!

The adorable snowman is from the Christmas Hugs stamp and die set and I colored him with Copic markers. I popped him up with foam squares on the Perfect Touch Arches die set then embossed with the Tiny Dots EF.

I colored his scarf with a variety of blues to compliment the background. I love how this turned out!

This pretty mini slimline card uses the fabulous Holiday Blooms and the Master Layouts 7 die sets. The woodgrain background is from the Craft Consortium Wood Textures paper pad and the sentiments are from the Sentiment Sheets - Holiday Greetings, these are perfect for adding quick sentiments!
