Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a fun Christmas card I created recently. This card is a Swing Box Card which is 5 x 7 in size. I used a tutorial by Sam Calcott, which you can find here.
To decorate my card, I used Spellbinders Festive Friends die set which was the Small Die of the month for October 2024. I had spent about a week looking for this die set in my stash, so when I finally located it I decided I had to use it again LOL!
For the bears jumper, I used Spellbinders Sweater Weather Embossing Folder, adding white ink over the top once I had embossed it.
For the snowy background, I used Spellbinders Snowfall Shimmer Betterpress Plate, using my die cutting machine to emboss it rather than Betterpress it.
I used an older Mama Elephant sentiment for the sentiment on this card.
Here is a look at the back of my card. I added two foiled sentiments using the Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips Betterpress Plate and added another of the cute penguins.

For my card, I used the new Playful Pop-up die set along with the Dog and Cat Playful Add-ons die set. I just love that adorable puppy!
This die set can be used on a standard A2 card, but I prefer bigger sizes, so I created a 5 x 7 card.
To decorate my card I added used the new Woof! die set and Dog Borders to add the dog bowls complete with food and bones.
As the focus of this card is on the inside, I kept the front of my card fairly simple. I added the two patterned papers I used on the inside to the front of the card. I then added the bone border along the edge that the two papers meet.
I used the new Dog Sentiments and the Greetings Labels die set to add the birthday sentiment. To finish off the card, I added the two paw prints which are from the Woof! die set.
Well that's about it from me today, thank you for dropping by. To continue on the blog hop, click on the next person on the list, which is Jennifer Webster
Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to my blog. Today I have 4 more Christmas cards to share with you. As you can see, these ones are Arch shaped.
I used Spellbinders October Betterpress Society Plate to create this card which is called Twinkling Tidings. It includes the Betterpress Plate and a coordinating stencil.
I added foiled sentiments to the cards using the positive and negative images. These are older Pinkfresh Studio plates..
I kept the inside simple, adding a sentiment using red ink.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a Christmas card I created using a couple of the new dies by Karen Burniston, these will be available for preorder on Monday 24th November.
I don't normally use Kraft card much in my cardmaking, but I decided I wanted to use it for my card today. For this card I used the new Pine Cone die set as well as the Greeting Labels die set.
For the other layers on the front of the card, I used the Rectangles & Labels Crosshatch die set.
The sentiment is from the Season of Cheer Clear Stamp set.
For the inside of my card, I pulled out the Katherine Label Pop up die set and the Christmas Wishes Clear Stamp set.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a Slimline Card I created using Spellbinders Clear Stamp & Die of the Month for November 2025.
For the Slimline Card base I used an older Spellbinders die set called Hemstitch Slimline. I used an older stencil to add the clouds and grass area to the white panel.
For the inside of the card, I added more grass along the bottom edge. I added another of the cute girls to the right hand side of the card and a sentiment.
