Spellbinders | Spectacular Christmas

Hello there, thank you so much for being here! Today I have three cards to share using the Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas collection. 

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

The Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas collection consists of Santa (which I already shared a card using him here), bear, penguin and deer, plus a sentiment and coordinating die set. The Santa and bear have the bodies of the characters but the penguin and deer do not. The body from the bear set works for both the penguin and deer.

SPECTACULAR BEAR

I started off with the Spellbinders Spectacular Bear Etched Dies, die cutting him from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I die cut the body and head of the bear from Classic White, the tummy, ears and top layer of the nose from Chiffon, the bottom layer of the nose from Raven, and the cheeks from Bellini. 

I cut the scarf and hat from Waterfall and Teal Topaz and the glasses from Teal Topaz. The Christmas pudding was cut from Truffle, Alabaster for the top layer of brandy sauce, and Chiffon for the bottom layer of brandy sauce.  The holly was cut from Rainforest and the berries from Wild Berry. 

I adhered Raven cardstock to the back of the head (to show though the eyes) and then adhered all the other pieces/layers together using Bearly Art Glue. I added a panel of Spellbinders Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock to a US A2 sized white card base and adhered the bear on top using thin foam tape. The pudding was adhered under the hand using more thin foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Spellbinders Spectacular Holiday Sentiments Stamp & Die Set onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and adhered to the card with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Aquamarine Color Essentials Gems and applied Star Dust Stickles to the berries and the pom pom on the hat. 

SPECTACULAR PENGUIN

For my second card, I die cut the Spellbinders Spectacular Penguin Etched Dies from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I cut the body and head from Raven and Classic White, the beak from Beeswax and the cheeks from Bellini. The scarf was cut from Waterfall and Teal Topaz, the glasses from Teal Topaz, and the earmuffs from Waterfall and Classic White. 

The cupcake was die cut from Tutu, Fawn and Chiffon. The holly and berries cut from Rainforest and Wild Berry respectively. The pieces were assembled but I left off the earmuffs until adhering the penguin to the card. I added a panel of Spellbinders Blush ColorWheel Cardstock to a US A2 sized white card base. 

I adhered the penguin on top, using thin foam tape, followed by the earmuffs. The cake was adhered to his hand using thin foam tape also. I stamped a sentiment from the Spellbinders Spectacular Holiday Sentiments Stamp & Die Set onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. 

It was die cut out using the coordinating die and adhered to the card with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Pink Color Essentials Gems and Star Dust Stickles on the berries. 

SPECTACULAR DEER

Last but not least, for my third card, I die cut the Spellbinders Spectacular Deer Etched Dies from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I cut the body and head from Truffle and Fawn, the cheeks from Bellini, the ears from Chiffon, the nose and eyes from Raven, and the antlers and hooves from Alabaster. 

The scarf was cut from Waterfall and Teal Topaz. The cupcake was cut from Tutu, Fawn and Chiffon. The holly from Rainforest and the berries from Wild Berry. The pieces/layers were adhered together using Bearly Art Glue and the cupcake added to the arm using thin foam tape. 

I added a panel of Spellbinders Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock to a US A2 sized white card base and adhered the deer on top using thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from Spellbinders Spectacular Holiday Sentiments Stamp & Die Set onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. 

It was die cut out using the coordinating die, but the sentiment is all on one line and I knew it wouldn't fit, so I used my scissors to cut it into two. They were adhered to the card using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Aquamarine Color Essentials Gems, added Star Dust Stickles to the berries, and Crystal Glaze to the nose.

As you can see, I kept my cards very simple today, letting the characters be the star of the show, but these would work great with lots of different card designs too! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a great day!
