 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I have a Christmas themed 5 x 7 card I created recently using products from Spellbinders July 2026 All Clubs Crate set. The tree, Santa & elf are all from the Large Die of the Month called Merry Shuffle. I used the Press & Foil set called Festive Forest to silver foil the background panel of blue cardstock. I added the cute sentiment which is from the Clear Stamp/Die of the Month ... Cue the Merry.
I had a tiny strip of the foiled cardstock left over after die cutting the front of my card, so I used that to add to the bottom of the card.
I added two sentiment from the Cue the Merry Stamp/Die set and also added a row of the Christmas lights which were also left over after making the front of the card.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing four 5 x 7 cards using the Jolly St Nick Collection from Concord & 9th.
Last year I used this set to create Santa shaped cards, so I wanted to use it on a rectangle card this time round.
To create this card I started by taking the main die from the Jolly St. Nick die set to cut the Santa face shape.
Next I took the coordinating Jolly St. Nick Stencil set to add the details for the face, hat etc. This was pretty easy to line up.
I used 12 x 12 patterned paper for the background. I was able get 4 pieces of 5 x 7 panels out of the sheet with clever cutting.
I die cut the speech bubble from white & blue spruce cardstock, offsetting the blue spruce panel behind the white one. I used the coordinating stamp set to add the “Ho Ho Ho” to add to the speech bubble.
For the inside of the card, I used the narrow left over patterned paper strip to the bottom of the card. I added the sentiment which is also from the coordinating stamp set.
 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.
For the inside of the card, I added another embossed panel to the bottom and an older Made to Surprise sentiment to the top of the card.

 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.
