Spellbinders | Dear Santa 2026 Annual Holiday Mega Kit

Hello there, today I have 10 projects to share using the Spellbinders Dear Santa 2026 Annual Holiday Mega Kit. This kit contains tons of products that can be used to create 25+ cards but can be used for other projects too. The video below shows unboxing the kit, shows my projects and also shows how much is left in the kit once I had made my projects (spoiler alert ... there is tons left!). 

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

I created mini cards, tags and gift card holders today. I used everything in the Spellbinders Dear Santa 2026 Annual Holiday Mega Kit, bar one item (the chipboard frames). Lets have a look what is in the kit:

20 A2 Cards & Envelopes

18 11.5" x 8.5" Sheets of Cardstock

298 Die Cut Ephemera

38 Chipboard Frames & Corners

2 Sheets of Puffy Stickers

2 Sheets of Chipboard Stickers

1 Sheet of Gemstones

6" x 6" Paper Pad (40 sheets, 2 sheets of each design)

Foam Squares + Adhesive Tape

Apart from the cards & envelopes, cardstock, chipboard stickers and adhesive, all the items can be purchased separately, as well as being in the kit. 

First up, I made two mini cards. I used the faux envelopes from the Die Cut Sentiments pack. These have a perforation so that they can be opened to pop things inside but have actual no inside, so you would want to adhere them to something or cover up the back with 2 1/8" x 3 2/8" mini cards like I did - I cut the cards in the kit down and adhered them to the back of the envelopes. The list and sentiments are from the same pack. Santa, the deer and foliage are from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. 

Next up are two tags made using the tags from the Die Cut Sentiments pack. I added DMC Diamant Grande Gold Thread through the tops and tied in bows. The one on the left uses the envelope, postage stamp and holly from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. The seal is from the Die Cut Sentiments pack. The tag on the right uses the postage stamp, coffee cup and foliage from the Die Cut Ephemera pack, and the 25 is from the Die Cut Sentiments pack. 

Next up are two gift card holders. I used the cards in the kit to create mini 2 9/16" x 3 13/16" cards. I rounded the corners using the Spellbinders 2-1 Punch: Corner Rounder & Notch. I then adhered panels of the aqua-blue cardstock in the kit on top. The foliage, pink envelopes, aqua envelope and postage stamp are from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. The 'holiday hugs' sentiment is from the Die Cut Sentiments pack and the 'season's greetings' is from the Chipboard Stickers pack, as well as the hearts. I embellished using the Gemstones pack. 

As you can see, the gift cards fit nicely inside the little gift card holders. I will add some removable adhesive to the back of the gift card and adhere it inside. Since I was making gift card holders, I didn't add that many sentiments onto the fronts of the holders. I didn't think they were necessary for them, but there are lots of sentiments that can be used across all of the products in the kit. 

Next up are two more gift card holders, this time using the pink cardstock in the kit. The green tags are from the Die Cut Sentiments pack. I threaded DMC Diamant Light Gold Thread through them and tied in bows. The 12/25 ticket and the 25 are also from that pack. The bird, foliage, envelope and postage stamp are from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. The embellishments are from the Gemstones pack and then for the holder on the left, I cut one of the banners and popped the gold piece behind the tag. For the holder on the right, I cut the banner part off from one of the rosettes and popped that behind the tag. 

Last but least are two more gift card holders. For both, I created mini tags using the 6" x 6" Paper Pad (using the green tag from the last two holders as a template). I punched a hole at the tops of them and tied with DMC Diamant Light Gold Thread. The foliage, postage stamps, postage circle, Santa and deer are all from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. The embellishments are from the Puffy Stickers pack, as well as the 'you're on the nice list' sentiment. The little banner sticking out from the side of the one on the right is the other part of the one I cut the gold off from.

As I say in the video, although ephemera and stickers aren't generally something I use on cards, I do really like using them for tags and little projects like the gift card holders. I also love using them for decorating envelopes and happy mail! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
