Spellbinders | Dancin' Christmas

Hello there, today I have two cards to share with you using the Spellbinders Dancin' Christmas Collection. These dies are really fun as you can have it so their legs move from side to side (like they are dancing!) or not. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.



I started off my first card by die cutting the Spellbinders Dancin' Figgy Pudding Etched Dies from various colours of cardstock. I then added ink blending to them with Altenew inks and blending brushes. The parts were then assembled and adhered using using Bearly Art Glue


I took a panel of white cardstock and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum Six inside the Spellbinders Flurry of Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder. It was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with tape runner adhesive. The legs for the figgy pudding were then placed on top and I added a piece of foam tape to the top piece to hold them in place. 


I placed some foam tape on to the top part of the top of the figgy pudding and adhered it on top. I found that because of the 3D nature of the embossing folder, the legs did not move much unfortunately. So I ended up adding some Bearly Art Glue behind the feet and adhered them flat to the card. 


I took the sentiment from the Spellbinders Comfort & Joy Sentiments Hot Foil Plate & Die Set and foiled it onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Champagne Foil. It was cut out using the coordinating die and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Spellbinders Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems


My next card uses the Spellbinders Dancin' Penguin Etched Dies. I die cut the penguin from various colours of cardstock (they are linked in the supplies list) and adhered together with Bearly Art Glue. I thought it would be fun to make him a look a little more Christmassy, so I die cut the holly leaves from Spellbinders Christmas Blooms and the berries from Spellbinders Delicious Decorations and adhered them to his scarf. 


I took a panel of white cardstock and placed it inside the Spellbinders Ski Lodge Embossing Folder and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum Six. It was adhered onto a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape. I placed the skates/legs on top and added a foam piece at the top. I added thin foam tape to the top of the penguin and adhered it on top of the legs. This time they do move! :) 


I stamped a sentiment from the Spellbinders Dancin' Christmas Clear Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Spellbinders Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Spellbinders White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with more thin foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems

  1. Oh my cuteness, these are both ADORABLE! I found the same problem with the figgy pudding legs against the embossing folder I used. I love both of your cards, they are just so so sweet and the colours are perfection. The embossed white backgrounds are just so Christmassy too. Love them!
