Funny Christmas Cards with Spellbinders Merry Mayhem Collection
Hello, crafty friends!
Today’s post features two funny Christmas cards made with the new Merry Mayhem Collection from Spellbinders. One card has a startled reindeer and a dumpster fire. The other has a very tired penguin. Both are made to bring a smile this holiday season.
Reindeer Window Card with Giggle Springs
Background:
The wall is made with the background strip die from this month’s “Lit With Joy” Large Die of the Month Club set. It is die-cut from Bellini and Coral cardstock and glued to the card base.
The window is made with the window die from the Christmas Cats Window View set. It is cut through the panel, and the frame is die-cut from white cardstock and layered on top.
The wood floor is made with Fawn cardstock embossed with the A2 Herringbone Decor 3D Embossing Folder. It is added to the bottom of the card, and a blending brush adds color to the raised pattern for a wood-floor look.
The scene behind the window is made on a separate card base. Pool ink is blended on it with a large blending brush, and it shows through the window.
The dumpster inside the window is die-cut from Rainforest and Fern cardstock using the Dumpster Fire Clear Stamp & Die Set.
The inside of the card is decorated with the raccoon, banana peels, and string lights from the new Deck the Dumpster Stamp & Die Set. A sentiment is stamped below. The card opens from left to right, so there is also space inside for a message.
The reindeer on the front is die-cut with the Rein It In Stamp & Die Set. The string lights and ornaments are from the Christmas Cats Accessories Etched Dies by Yana Smakula and the Christmas Cats Etched Dies by Yana Smakula.
The scene tells a little story. The reindeer is decorating for Christmas, then sees the dumpster on fire outside the window and a raccoon running away. He is so surprised that he drops his decorations!
The shaking effect is made with Giggle Springs (12 Pack). The reindeer is attached with the springs, so he shakes with the slightest touch.
The raccoon on the window frame is added too, so it looks like he is climbing out in a hurry.
Sentiment:
The sentiment is from the Rein It In Stamp & Die Set. It is stamped on black cardstock, heat embossed in white, and die-cut. It is added next to the reindeer as a speech bubble.
Merry Whatever Penguin Card
Background:
The night sky is made with Celestial cardstock. The Snowfall Shimmer BetterPress Plate is foiled on it with Prism Hot Foil for a sparkly snowflake sky, and the edges are shaded with dark blue ink to add depth.
The sea is made with Windy cardstock die-cut with the border die from the Snow Done Stamp & Die Set. It is added along the bottom of the card.
The iceberg is die-cut from Fog and White cardstock.
The string lights on the iceberg are from the Deck the Dumpster Stamp & Die Set. The string is die-cut from gold metallic cardstock, and the bulbs are die-cut from Saffron, Cascade, Blush, Rainforest, and Poppy cardstock and glued on the string.
The penguin is die-cut from black, white, and Carrot cardstock, and he is lying face down on the ice.
The spilled wine is die-cut from Merlot cardstock, and the glass is die-cut from Cascade cardstock. Everything is attached with foam adhesive for extra dimension.
Sentiment:
The sentiment is stamped on the sea with a stamp from the Snow Done Stamp & Die Set. It is a fun card for anyone who needs a little break from the holiday rush.
