Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here on the Spellbinders Blog and I’m so happy to be back to share some new cards with you. I have made 3 Christmas cards using products from the new Tinsel Time Collection. Holiday Express Card My first card features the Holiday Express cutting dies. I cut the dies in a variety of colored cardstock from Spellbinders. I had so much fun putting this train together. The sentiment is gold heat embossed on a strip of white cardstock. It is from the Dancin’ Holiday Sentiments. For the card panel, I cut down a patterned paper from the Joyful Christmas Paper Pad to 3” x 6”. I then layered it with the Wild Berry cardstock before adhering it to a 3.25” x 6.25” card base. Dancin’ St. Nick Card The second card features the Dancin’ St. Nick cutting dies. I used all colored cardstocks from Spellbinders. I love that Santa’s legs swing back and forth. This is optional, but it is more fun to have swinging legs and it is also easy to achieve. Simply cut down a small foam tape to fit inside the circle. The sentiment is from the Tinsel Time cutting dies. Once again, I used patterned paper from the Joyful Christmas Paper Pad for the background panel. I cut it down to 4” x 5.25” and ran it through the die-cut machine using the Fluted Classics Rectangles. I then cut an A2 panel in Blue Spruce and adhered the 2 panels together. Lastly, I glued the panel on a card base. Dancin’ Snowman Card My last card features the Dancin’ Snowman. I once again used colored cardstocks from Spellbinders. The colored cardstocks are 100 lb heavyweight and perfect for paper piecing. Just like the previous card, Dancin’ Snowman has swinging legs and the arms also have the same kinetic feature. However, I only made the legs swing back and forth. The sentiment is from the Lots of Wishing You Sentiments. I gold heat embossed the stamps on white cardstock. I then cut a panel from the Joyful Christmas Paper Pad and layered it with pink cardstock before adhering it on an A2 size card base.

Hello crafters! This is Raquel Arribas, I’m so happy to be here today to share with you some inspiration with the Spellbinders Tinsel Time Collection. This is such a versatile, fun and gorgeous release and I’m sure you are going to love it as much as I do. Dancing Nick Card My first project features the Dancin’ St. Nick die set. I wanted to create a fun yet nontraditional Santa Klaus as my focal point… For me, color is the key when creating so every time I start any design I take my time until I have decided the right color combination. For this set, I decided to pair the color of the hat and the legs. I thought a dark pink would look nice as my idea was to use a white background so it would create some contrast. My front panel is a 4 ¼ x 5 ½ but I had envisioned my final layout with a small border that had the same colors of my Little St. Nick, so I trimmed my panel to 4 inches x 5 ¼ inches. I used a light pink for the body, some cream for the Wish List, and light teal for the small gift. I also planned to have a small pile of gifts at the bottom of the panel, so I decided to match the colors of these small gifts with the dark and light pink and with the teal from the small present he is holding in his hand. Once I had all the guesswork done, I went ahead and die-cut all the images. These dies have been carefully designed: all the elements that go together are in just one die piece, so the die-cutting part it’s so much easier and fast. Once all the die cutting was done, I created my background using the Dazzling Diamond Hot Plate. I did not use this plate to foil this time, I decided to dry emboss a white heavy cardstock cut to 4 by 5 ¼ so as to mimic some snow. Then, I just had to glue all the small pieces of my St. Nick to this panel adding foam under the head and body for some dimension. The legs are designed to swing back and forth, so I added one foam adhesive circle inside that die-cut piece so the legs can really move. Lastly, I arranged all the small gifts at the bottom of the card. To die cut these gifts, I use a die from the Holiday Express Die Set and some leaves from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs Die set for a nice green touch. For the sentiment, I gold heat embossed the “Just Keep Wrapping” from the Christmas Memories Enclosed Stamp Set. Dancing Snowman Card My next project features the Dancing Snowman. This is a very straightforward design that came together very quickly. When I envisioned this project, I pictured the Snowman against a colorful background that provided a great contrast. I decided to use the Starburst Hot Foil Plate to create some volume in my background. Instead of using this plate to foil, I decided to dry emboss an A2 panel.  Once the panel was embossed, I started ink blending it with Distress Oxide Peacock Feather. I tried to apply more ink on the edges of this panel leaving the center lighter. Once my background was done, I did all the die cutting using red, green, and light, and dark teal cardstock. I also used some gold foil cardstock for the star of the tree and the bow of the gift and white glitter cardstock for some parts of the hat. The legs of this adorable Snowman move as well, so to adhere it to my background I used a double layer of foam adhesive to the head and body and a single foam adhesive square to the opening of the legs that goes right under the body. For my sentiment, I decided to use the “Tinsel Time” words from the set Tinsel Time. Each word has to dies, the shadow layer, and the word die itself. I die cut the shadow layer out of plain white cardstock and the inner word out of gold foil cardstock. Holiday Express Card For my third project, I wanted to use the Holiday Express Set. This is such a fun and adorable design!!! I always pay close attention to the color combos of my projects and this one is no exception. For the color of this design, I decided to use white for the trains so I could use a light teal on the background to spice it up. I also had in mind this idea of adding colorful details to that white train to spice it up. This touch of color I just mentioned are the wheels. I die-cut seven pieces of these wheels so I could have seven different colors to fill the seven spaces of each wheel. I went in a rainbow mood, so I picked: red, pink, light orange, lime green, light teal, medium teal, and dark teal. I wasn’t too sure about the color of the wheels; I knew I didn’t want to use too many black elements on this design, so I tried white and gold. I went with gold and that defined the rest of the detail die cuts that come in this set. So basically, I made a white and gold train with colorful wheels. To add some interest to the design, I filled the wagon of the train with presents and of course, I used the same colors of cardstock that I had used for the wheel’s inserts. I added some bows to the presents cut out of gold foil cardstock. For the background, I used once again the gorgeous Starburst Hot foil Plate. I decided to dry emboss it an A2 size panel of Sea Glass Cardstock and add some pearls for some interest. Lastly, all I had to do is adhered the sentiment. I used the Christmas Magic Hot Foil plates and hot foiled the “I almost kept this” phrase in gold Glimmer Foil. Since I had the white wheels laying around, I quickly adhered the colorful insert pieces to these wheels and made a quick and easy bonus project. I had already used a white train, so I thought I’d make a cream one this time so in the end, I ended up die-cutting cream wheels. The design is basically the same as the previous project, I just changed the color of the presents and the background. I used the Big Dot Slimline Embossing Folder to emboss a 6 ¼ by 3 ¼ piece of red cardstock and ink blended the edges to add more dimension to the panel. Then I just adhered all the decorative elements of the train in gold foil cardstock and used a Just what you wanted foil sentiment, which is also from the set Christmas Magic Hot Foil Plate. I hope you like these designs and inspire you to create with these fun and unique gorgeous products from Spellbinders.

Hi everyone! It’s Franci here with you today showcasing some of the products from the new Spellbinders Sparkling Christmas release! If you already enjoy my crafting adventures I’m so excited for you to see what I created with this collection and if I’m new to you.. Hello! My name is Francesca but I’m pretty much Franci all the time, I’m from Milan, Italy and I’m passionate about making cute things with stamps, dies and colors! I’m all in for cute Festive stuff and Christmas is my favorite so I’m over the moon for these new Spellbinders goodies! Pastel Christmas Cards Aww I love these cards so much! Here I was inspired by my favorite pastel colors to create modern Xmas designs. For my HOHOHO card I first created my background with a stripe of a dark blue cardstock and another one cut out of silver glitter paper. Then I die cut my sentiment and colored it with copics. I die cut some more elements out of silver glitter paper and white cardstock and glued everything together. For my Christmas tree card I first created my background by dry embossing a dotted stencil onto a piece of dark blue cardstock, then I die cut all the elements, colored them with copics and glued them down with some foam adhesive. I added my sentiment ( die cut out of silver glitter paper) and some other embellishments like white Nuvo Drops to finish my card up and it’s ready to wish a dear friend a beautiful Christmas. Traditional Christmas Card & Tag If you’re looking for a more traditional Christmas here’s a card + tag combo.. For the card I chose to create a long one to fit my sentiment perfectly. I first cut out some long stripes out of white, kraft and dark cardstock and added some dry embossed details on to the dark blue one with my scoring board. I layered and glued everything together with liquid glue and foam adhesive, die cut the sentiment and added some dot details on to all the kraft elements. Replacing the “o” with a little custom Xmas wreath adds so much to this design! Creating it was super simple with all the little holly and pine branches little dies included in the set: I die cut them all out of white cardstock, colored them with copics, added some white details and then arranged and glued them together with liquid glue. The coordinated tag is the perfect mini add on to pop on a present and this die design is simply amazing, so detailed! Here I die cut the main tag body out of dark blue cardstock and added the sentiment i die cut out of kraft cardstock with some foam tape. I added some dots with a white gel pen and also some other little detail, plus silver twine at the top.

Hey there crafty peeps, Zsoka here with you today, sharing a few cards featuring some of the dies from the new Sparkling Christmas collection! It’s still so weird for me to share Christmas projects in summer, but hey, Christmas cards are my favorite so I could do them all year round ha! Fa La La Poinsettia Card Without further ado, here’s the first card! The dies I’ve used on this card are my absolute favorites from this beautiful collection! I love plaid and flowers so of course I’m a fan of these! The Kaleidoscope Plaid set consists of 3 dies that you can either layer up or use on their own. I selected 3 different papers for the plaid: gray and gold card stock, plus pink polka dot patterned paper. I created an A2 size top folding card base, then added a dark gray card stock panel to it. I die cut the rectangles 4 times to cover most of my card front. I adhered them onto white card stock first then attached this panel to my card front. I then die cut the flowers using the dies from the Glimmer Poinsettia set (this set consists of 5 glimmer plates and 5 dies). I love that the dies work on their own too, no need to add foiled details if you don’t want to! I assembled the 3 flowers and arranged them on my card front. I placed some red enamel dots in the centers. For my sentiment I used one of the plates from the Holiday Sentiments Series 2 set with gold foil. It actually says FA LA LA LA LA which was too long so I trimmed it down. I used foam adhesive to attach my sentiment. To finish off this card I added some twine at the top. Santa Drive Ho Ho Ho Card On my next card I used the Kaleidoscope Plaid die set again. I created my background the same way as above, I just used different papers. For the car I used the Sunday Drive die set, which is actually not a Christmas product but now there is the Sunday Drive with Santa add-on with which you can create fun Christmas themed cars. There is another non-holiday themed add-on set available as well, called Hitched. Once I assembled the car, I added foam adhesive to its back and adhered it onto my card front. Since the license plate is already a sentiment, I didn’t need anything else. ‘Tis The Season Glimmer Card On my next card I went with a Nordic Christmas vibe – red and white color combo. Now, red is one of my least favorite colors when it comes to paper crafting (well it depends on the color combo really, but on its own I do not love red), however I like using it on Christmas projects. And the Crimson Stars glimmer foil is absolutely stunning. I wish I could take better photographs that show off all the sparkle, but I hope you can still see just how beautiful this foil is! This is also an A2 size top folding card – I layered red card stock, red grid patterned paper and a white embossed panel on top of each other. I foiled and die cut the poinsettias. This time I didn’t layer them, I just used the three different sizes to create an arrangement in opposite corners of the card. I added red enamel dots in the flower centers. I foiled a holiday sentiment with the same red foil as before and adhered it to my card with foam adhesive. Shaped Christmas Tree Cards Last but not least, I created 3 mini circle cards for which I used the 3.4″ size circle die from the Hemstitch Circles die set. I die cut two circles from heavy weight card stock for each of my card bases. I then created a score line about 3/4 inch from the top on one of the circles (the scored one becomes the back of the card) and added glue above the score line, then attached the other circle on top. I die cut 3 patterned paper circles too, for my card fronts. Using the Joyful Christmas Tree die set, I die cut several trees from white card stock and various patterned papers. On my first card I created a colorful tree with the inlay technique. I glued down all the scallops with foam adhesive. I punched a small hole in the card as well as in my foiled sentiment strip and attached it with a twine bow. On my second card I used the outline pieces of the patterned paper die cuts and I backed them with white card stock. No inlaying. I added a red foiled sentiment this time. To not waste all the patterned paper die cuts I had left, I created one more card, exactly the same way as above. That’s it! I hope I could inspire you in some small way with today’s cards! Are you excited and ready for Christmas crafting?!

Hello crafty friends, I’m TaeEun from Rainbow in November! I’m so thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog again! Today I’m sharing three Christmas cards I made using the Sparkling Christmas Collection! We all start making holiday cards early, right ? Better too early than too late! Festive Noel My first card is featuring S4-1062 Festive Noel die set. To start off I created a watercolored ombre panel which shows dark blue to dark green from the top towards the bottom. After the panel was dry I cut the panel to a 4 3/8 “ square and cut the letter NOEL from it using the dies included in the set. The shade layer was cut two times from some heavyweight white cardstock and I gold heat embossed one of them. I foam mounted the ombre background panel on a 4.75” square white cardbase and adhered the gold heat embossed shade layer on it. I then added the white shade layer slightly off set on the golden layer using foam tape and foam mounted the letters onto their places. I cut the small leaves from some gold foil cardstock and the berries from a red cardstock and embellished the letters with them. I finished off the card by adding some clear gems to the center of the snowflakes and Glossy Accents to the berries. Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree The second card is showing S4-1064 Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree and S4-1065 Christmas Mix & Match Sentiments die sets. I started off by cutting the three layers of the Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree from some heavyweight white cardstock. I ink blended the first and the second layer in red using Candied Apple and Barn Door Distress inks keeping the bottom part and the lower layer darker. To create the ombre background panel I ink blended the bottom part of a red cardstock panel in Barn Door and Fired Brick Distress inks. Then I dry embossed it using the third layer die of the Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree die set three times and splattered white opaque ink all over the panel. I added thin strips of gold glitter paper on the top and bottom end of the background panel and foam mounted it on a white cardbase. I layered up the Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree and added it with the golden star to the center of the red panel. The sentiment was cut once from the gold glitter paper and three more times from some white cardstock using Christmas Mix & Match Sentiments die set. I stacked them together and added it to the card. Christmas Ornament Border My last card for today is a slimline Christmas card. To make this I used S4-1068 Christmas Ornament Border, S3-399 Joyful Christmas Tree and S4-1065 Christmas Mix & Match Sentiments die sets. To start off I’ve made the alcohol inked panel by applying R20, Y06, RV02 and YG07 Copic refills on a Yupo paper panel. I cut the panel in 3 5/8 x 8 5/8” and rounded diagonal corners. I cut the panel using the border die from the Christmas Ornament Border die set where yellow goes into pink color. I mounted the bottom part of it flat and the upper part using some foam tape on a white slimline cardbase. As I wanted the green part of the panel to look like a Christmas tree, I used the parts of the Joyful Christmas Tree die set as tree decorations. I cut them from some silver glitter paper and layered them up on the base layers which were colored using Copic markers. I cut the three ornaments from the Christmas Ornament Border die set from the same silver glitter paper, stacked them on two layers of white die cut ornaments and added them to the card front as shown in the picture. The sentiment was cut using Christmas Mix & Match Sentiments die set from some white cardstock and adhered on the card. To finish off I applied Glossy Accents on the inside of the ornaments. Spellbinders Supplies: Other Supplies Gansai Tambi watercolor, Neenah Solar white 110lb cardstock, Master’s Touch watercolor paper, Distress inks, Copic Marker Refills, Yupo paper That’s it from me for today! I hope I was able to show you the cheerful holiday feeling of the Sparkling Christmas Collection! Thank you for looking, crafty friends and huge thanks to Spellbinders for having me as a guest! Wishing you a crafty day! Hugs, TaeEun
