Spellbinders | Dear Santa Envelopes

Hello there, today I have two cards to share using some dies from the Dear Santa Collection that was released back in July. I shared a look at the Dear Santa Kit here. Today I am using two die sets, plus a new sentiment press plate (as well as an older one!).

The Spellbinders Happy Post Envelope Etched Dies can be used to create either an open or closed envelope. As you can see, I used in both ways on my cards! There are also two wax seal options in the set too - a star and a heart. Such a cute detail! 

I started off with the first card using the open envelope. I die cut the envelope from Spellbinders Chiffon ColorWheel Cardstock and the letter inside from Spellbinders Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock. I assembled it using Bearly Art Glue and then adhered it to a white US A2 sized card base using thin foam squares. 

I die cut the foliage from the Spellbinders Festive Floral Mix Etched Dies from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I used Tutu for the poinsettia and smaller flower, Blush for the bud flowers, Rainforest and Peridot for the leaves, pine frond and holly, Waterfall and Teal Topaz for the other pine frond and foliage, and Classic White for the flower centres. 

I adhered them to the card using Bearly Art Glue. I hot foiled the Spellbinders Holiday Banner Greetings Press + Foil Plate onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Opaque Black Glimmer Hot Foil Roll and the Spellbinders Glimmer II Hot Foil System. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and I adhered the 'Merry Christmas' one to the card (cutting off the other banner edge). To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems. 

My second card uses the same Spellbinders Happy Post Envelope Etched Dies but this time with the envelope closed. I cut it from Spellbinders Chiffon ColorWheel Cardstock and the wax seal from Spellbinders Tutu ColorWheel Cardstock, using Classic White for the string/ribbon. 

It was assembled and adhered using Bearly Art Glue. I die cut the Spellbinders Festive Floral Mix Etched Dies from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock. I used Blush and Classic White for the small flower, Blush for the flower buds, Peridot for the flower bud stem, Rainforest for the holly, and Waterfall and Teal Topaz for the other foliage. 

I used the envelope as a guide for the placement of the foliage, adhering them down using Bearly Art Glue. I then adhered the envelope on top with thin foam squares. I hot foiled the Spellbinders Merry Messages Plate onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Hot Foil Roll. It was die cut out and the 'season's greetings' one adhered to the card. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems.

I really love this colour combination for Christmas! Although I do like traditional red and green, I do tend to favour more non-traditional colours. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
