Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Christmas themed Slimline card, using products from Spellbinders July 2026 All Clubs Crate set. 

The reindeer is from the July 2026 Stitched die of the month, I opted not to do any stitching, using the Embossing Folder  of the month ... Snuggly Knit instead.

I have used this layout a few times lately on a Slimline Card, I like how you don't have to use such a large image/design but still can create a Slimline. I used the embossing folder again to add texture to the green panels above and under the main image.

The cute teddy the reindeer is holding is another bonus die set you receive if you order the All Clubs Crate.

I added sentiments using the Merry Sentiments Clear Stamp/Die set designed by Lisa Horton for Spellbinders. The snowflakes behind the reindeer are from the Clear Stamp of the month.

   

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.

   

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.

   

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another "Christmas in July Card", recently when I was looking through my Spellbinder Collections I spied the folder that held my Stampendous Hugs die sets (Stampendous is own by Spellbinders).  Anyway I could see through the file that there was a Christmas gnome already die cut and assembled, waiting patiently to be used on the card, so I pulled it out to make this card.

The die set used here is Stampendous Gnome Hugs.

To create the background behind the gnome, I pulled out an older Spellbinders Betterpress Plate called Season's Greetings Evergreens. I used my Betterpress and two different green inks to add the trees to my white panel. I moved the trees slightly up and to the right before inking the second time with my lighter ink.

I sponged the top of the white panel with blue inks to create my sky and then splattered it with white paint to resemble snow. The sentiment GNOEL, is from an older Honey Bee Stamps stamp set.

I layered this to the middle of a Slimline card, adding embossed green pieces of card to the top and bottom. This was embossed using Made To Surprise's Festive Tartan Embossing Folder and then adding white ink to the raised areas.
