Spellbinders Christmas Hugs Envelope Card

Some evenings, inspiration feels like a quiet tap on the shoulder—and last night was one of those nights. Even after finishing another project, I couldn’t resist sitting down to make something sweet and festive. Today, I’m sharing a warm and playful holiday envelope card featuring the Christmas Hugs Stamp & Die Bundle by Simon Hurley for Spellbinders.

This little reindeer has so much joy in him that he practically jumps out of the envelope—and that’s exactly the feeling I wanted this project to capture.

To create the card base, I used the Envelope of Wonder Die Set and cut the envelope from deep Cranberry cardstock. Inside, I added a coordinating patterned paper as the liner to give the reindeer a cheerful Christmas backdrop.

 

The reindeer from the Christmas Hugs set was stamped in black ink, colored with alcohol markers, and die-cut. I tucked him inside the envelope as if he’s popping out with a bell in hand, ready to spread holiday cheer.
The sentiment “Oh Deer” was stamped on matching cardstock and placed at the top for a fun, playful touch.

For decoration, I die-cut holly leaves and little berries using the Christmas Foliage Etched Dies and arranged them on the front flap.

One of my favorite details is the wax seal.
I melted Matcha Wax Beads from the Sealed by Spellbinders Collection, then used the Poinsettia Joy Wax Seal (2023 Wax Seal Club) to press the design. After it cooled, I added it to the envelope, giving the whole project a classic, hand-sealed Christmas letter vibe—something that always feels magical.

This project mixes sweetness, texture, and a little old-world charm, and I loved every moment of putting it together.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.
This cheerful little reindeer kept me company late into the night, and I hope he brings the same smile to your day. Wishing you a beautifully cozy and creative Christmas season. ✨
