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.

Altenew July 2026 Release

Today is release day for Altenew - their July 2026 release is just amazing, with Christmas goodies, landscapes, florals, and so much more!  

For my first card, I used the Winterberry Poinsettias embossing folder and coordinating stencils, along with a glittery sentiment cut with the Holiday Essentials dies. 

My second card uses the Windows to Stillness Craft your Life Project Kit. I used the stamp set along with the embossing folder in the kit to create this serene card.  

FOr my third card today, I used the Where Nature Meets Home stencils. I added a sentiment from the One Go Solid Sentiment Strips.

Using up leftovers

Spellbinders embossing folders are about twice the size of a standard card. This is useful, as I can generally use up the leftovers on a 2nd card! I used the Four Petal Floral folder from Spellbinders, and finished with the Birthday Script Dies from Concord & 9th, and some sequins from Altenew.

Magnolia dreams embossing folder and stencils for Altenew

Earlier this month, I posted a card using the Magnolia Dreams Simple Colouring stencil set from Altenew.. Well, I now have the 3D embossing folder as well, so I just had to try them together. My verdict is that I love the stencils both alone and with the embossing folder. Which is your favourite? (I've added my first card in this post, too)
