Spectacular Christmas - Spellbinders

Today, I'm sharing three cards I made using the Spectacular Santa, Spectacular Bear and Spectacular Deer die sets from Spellbinders. These were so much fun to put together! I cut all of the pieces from white cardstock, and then coloured the pieces with Copic markers. I used some older embossing folders for the backgrounds, and the Mistletoe Greetings Betterpress plate for the gold foiled sentiments. 

Thanks for visiting :)

Case me a Christmas Card - Hop 7

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card 2025 - a Christmas Card series! 

Throughout October, there will be a series of 10 hops – two YouTube hops, and eight Instagram hops. Each hop involves participants CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) a card from the next person, drawing inspiration while each creating a Christmas Card. And you can join in!

Background

This series began in November 2016 as a personal challenge to explore different Christmas card styles, with friends suggesting creative ideas. Over time, more cardmakers joined, leading to a format where participants CASE each other's cards. A helpful video by Ardyth Percy Robb outlines a 5-step CASE process—check it out HERE.

This year

This year is a bit different, because I'd love for you to join in! You can join in by making your own CASE, or by commenting on the stops on the hop (either on IG or on YT). 

I'm over the moon excited to share that some amazingly generous companies that I love are offering some super generous prizes!

Today's hop

Here's my card for today - I'm CASEing Michelle Woerner!

This is Michelle's card that I CASEd: 

I turned the party hat into a Christmas tree! I included a mat layer with a scalloped edge, dots in the background, and a similar colour scheme of teal, pink and yellow. I also included a black sentiment on a white banner, and heaps of sequins (although not as many as a shaker card!) 

Your turn!
