Spellbinders | Quick & Easy Cards with Spectacular Christmas!

Hello crafty friends! I have three cute cards to share with you that feature the new Spectacular Christmas Collection from Spellbinders! All links to these products can be found in the thumbnails at the bottom of this post.

My first card features the adorable Spectacular Deer Etched Dies. I combined this set with the previously released Stripe Right Etched Dies to create a simple but colorful striped background. I then die cut two circles (one from dark green card stock and a smaller one from white card stock) and adhered them to the center of my card.

All of my deer pieces were die cut from colored card stock (colors listed at the bottom of this post) and assembled at a diagonal angle with liquid adhesive. I used some light pink/red Copic markers to add details to the deer’s inner ears and a white gel pen to add some highlights.

My second card showcases the Spectacular Santa Etched Dies Set. How cute is this chubby little Santa? I once again used the Stripe Right Etched Dies to create a fun and easy background.

I once again die cut my pieces for my main image from colored card stock and assembled them with more liquid adhesive. This time, I added a little bit of ink blending on the edges of my card stock to give my Santa some more depth and shading. I did die cut the white pieces and his face from smooth white card stock and added some color with Copic markers.

Copic Colors Used:

Santa’s Face: E00, E000, E11, E04
White Pieces: 0, C00, C1, C3

Spellbinders Cardstock Colors Used:

Red: Poppy
White: Classic White & Neenah Solar White 110lb
Black: Raven
Bag: Fawn
Bell: Gold Mirror Metalic
Glasses: Silver Mirror Metalic
Background Stripes: Pomegranate, Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Peridot

Lastly, I created another fun card using the Spectacular Penguin Etched Dies. To start, I trimmed a piece of Waterfall Card Stock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Poolside Embossing Folder. I then added some decorative ovals using dies from the Scallop & Stitched Edge Ovals Etched Dies.

I die cut my pieces of my penguin from colored card stock and assembled it again with liquid adhesive. I added a scarf from the previously released Merry Mug & Circle Delights Collection, but there is a scarf that will fit the penguin that comes in the Spectacular Bear Die Set, which I did not have. The Spectacular Bear set also has a body that will fit both the penguin and the deer as well as some fun accessory dies.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by! I hope you give this fun collection a closer look!
