Spellbinders- Holiday Magic Collection Cards
Hello everyone!
Today, I’m excited to share five festive holiday cards I created using the wonderful Holiday Magic Collection. This collection is full of charming details, and I had so much fun mixing and matching the dies, embossing folders, and rub-ons to create these holiday scenes.
Here’s a detailed look at how I made each card:
Card 1: Sending Holiday Cheer
For my first card, I wanted to create a striking and dimensional background. I started with Mulberry cardstock and used the Nordic Noel Embossing Folder to create a beautiful textured pattern. To make the pattern pop, I lightly rubbed white pigment ink over the raised areas.
Next, I created the focal point by rubbing on a beautiful cardinal image from the Magic Rub-ons set onto white cardstock. I then used the Postage Stamps 3D Emboss & Cut Folder to both emboss and die-cut a decorative frame for the bird image.
I attached this frame to the card background with foam stickers to give it an extra lift and dimension. I also die-cut a gold ribbon from gold brushed cardstock using the ribbon die from the Christmas Cocktails die set and added it to the frame as a final embellishment.
The last step was the sentiment. I used the Country Christmas Banner & Sentiments Plates & Dies to hot foil “Sending Holiday Cheer” in matte gold, then die-cut it and added it to the card.
Card 2: Christmas Magic
This card features another textured background, this time on Hunter cardstock, using the same Nordic Noel Embossing Folder.
The main image is a sweet snowman and teddy bear, which I created by rubbing on another image from the Magic Rub-ons.
I used the same Postage Stamps 3D Emboss & Cut Folder, but this time I created the frame from a stunning gold brushed cardstock. This gave the image a lovely, luxurious border.
To complete the card, I simply added a “Christmas Magic” sticker from the Merry Moments Die Cut Sentiments set.
Frames Wax Seal Stamps Cards
For the next three cards, I used a fun, consistent technique for the smaller framed images. I rubbed small images from the Holiday Magic Rub-ons onto cardstock. Then, I used the tiny dies from the 2-Pack Frames Wax Seal Stamps set to die-cut the images. I created wax seals using gold or silver metallic beads, trimmed the edges of the seals, and glued the die-cut images on top to create charming little picture frames.
Card 3: Santa's Sweet Treat
I used a patterned paper from the Merry Moments Paperpad for the wallpaper background and a wood-patterned paper for the floor.
The main Santa figure was die-cut using The Clauses Die. To create the table, I cleverly used only the backrest portion of the chair from the Christmas Rocking Chair Die!
The pink banner is a sentiment sticker from the Merry Moments Die Cut Sentiments set.
Card 4: Joyful Noel Pug
This card was made using a very similar method.
The framed images were created with silver metallic wax seals.
The adorable pug was die-cut using the Party Puggles Die, and I added a Santa hat that I die-cut from The Clauses Die for a festive touch.
The sentiment, “Joyful Noel,” was hot foiled in matte gold and then die-cut using the Merry Messages Plates & Die.
Card 5: Warm Winter Wishes
The final card features Mrs. Claus and her cat. The small framed images were created using the Holiday Magic Rub-ons and the wax seal frame technique.
The background for this card was embossed using the Christmas Cameo 3D Embossing Folder and then blended with a rich green ink.
The cat was die-cut using the Stitched Study Nook Stitching Die, and the rug beneath her was created with the beach towel die from the Amalfi Breeze Die. The sentiment, “Warm Winter Wishes,” was hot foiled in matte gold and then die-cut using the Merry Messages Plates & Die.
I hope you enjoyed this look at my five cards. The Holiday Magic Collection has so many wonderful pieces that work together to create truly magical holiday scenes!
Happy Crafting,
