More inspiration from the Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Kit of the Month for November 2021

  I thought I would share two more of the cards I made using the Spellbinders, Clear stamp and die of the month for November, called Around the Holidays.  This is no longer available, (but may be in the future)  but for those of you who subscribed to this kit, here are some examples of what you can do with it.  

When I first saw this stamp set and saw the stamp with all the packages, well that reminded me of Santa.  So I started out by stamping the packages onto a piece of X-press it cardstock since I new I would be coloring them with my copics.  The matching die from the set was used to cut the edge of the cardstock just below the packages using my Platinum 6 die cutting machine.  With the paper trimmer, I cut the white cardstock to fit onto a A2 white cardbase.  I Then colored the packages using my copic markers. Using my domed blender, I applied some Mowed Lawn distress ink behind where the Santa would be so that he would show up a little more.  I also cut out the Ho Ho Ho, using the Honeybee Tailgate Alphabet die and my  Platinum 6 die cutting machine.  Each word was cut from a different color cardstock and adhered on the left side of the card. Next I cut some red glitter paper from my stash to fit the entire front of the card using my paper trimmer.  It was then adhered to the front of the card base using liquid glue.  Once that was dried, I adhered the white cardstock piece on top of the red glitter paper using the  liquid glue.  It was aligned along the top and sides of the card.  

Santa was created using the Spellbinders Santa Die and liquid glue  I then placed a wobble onto the back of Santa and stuck him to the green shaded area.  Here is a photo of the completed card:

Here is a close up of Santa:

When I saw the next stamp with ornaments, well that made me think of a Christmas Tree.  I started by stamping the image onto X-press it cardstock since I new I was going to be coloring the ornaments.  It was stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink. and colored with my copic markers. Using the matching die, I cut the curved edge.  The next thing I did was trim the white paper so that it fit onto the front of the A2 base card as shown.  Using some Green Holographic paper from my stash and the Spellbinders Whimsy Woods Die Set, I cut two trees from the green Holographic paper and adhered them to the right side of the white paper.  Next I cut a piece of green holographic paper  to fit the entire front of the card base using my paper trimmer.  It was then adhered to the base card, using liquid glue. 

The white portion of the card was then adhered on top of the green holographic paper as shown also using liquid adhesive.  Next I die cut the sentiment using red cardstock and a Scrapbook Merry Christmas Word Die which was a free gift with purchase.  This was adhered to the front left of the card.  Here are some images of this card. 

I hope you enjoyed these inspirational cards and that they gave you some ideas for how you too, can create more cards using these stamps and dies.

Which one is your favorite?  I personally like the Santa card the best.  I like that he wobbles on the card front.  If you don't have wobbles you can simply pop him up with foam squares.  Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments below.
