It is still Christmas in July and today I am featuring the new release from Spellbinders called Celebrate the Season. This collection has some beautiful items included for Christmas and Winter card making. I have three different variations for you today. All of the products used are listed at the end of this post!

The first card I am going to discuss is the one pictured on the far right. I started with a white A2 base card and added a matt of lavender cardstock. I then found some pretty background paper to match. It was then mounted on top of the mat. I cut out and assembled the sled from the Winter Sled Die Set. I popped it up onto the card front with foam squares. I then cut out and assembled the skates from the same set and glued them to the sled. The sled was then adorned with a poinsettia, holly leaves, and sprigs all cut from the same die set. For a sentiment, I chose to use the Glitter Wishes Foil Plates from the same collection with Lavender Petal Foil on white cardstock. It was cut out using the enclosed die and then mounted on the same lavender cardstock that was used for the mat. As a final touch, I added three lavender enamel dots from my stash.
For the center card, I used a design I had created earlier but added the Holiday Blooms to the card instead. That is why it may look familiar to some of you. So for this card I also started with an A2 card base. To it, I added a red mat. For the background I used a really pretty red and white striped glitter cardstock from my stash. This covered the lower portion of the background. The top portion was cut and foiled onto white cardstock using gold foil. It was then cut to fit on top of the striped cardstock and glued into place. I then created the Christmas arrangement using the Holiday Blooms Die Set and raised up the poinsettia using foam squares.
For the third and final card, I chose to use just the skates from the Winter Welcome die set. I started with a A2 card base onto which I placed a mat of red cardstock. To that I added some shiny gold and white striped printed paper for the background. The skates were cut pit and assembled and placed on a brushed gold cardstock piece cut from Candlewick Rectangles Die Set. This was then adorned with some holly, berries, and sprigs using the Holiday Blooms die set.
The sentiment was foiled onto white cardstock using the Glimmer Wishes glimmer plates from this collection along with gold foil. It was then cut out and matted onto red cardstock and popped up on the front of the card using foam squares.
So that's it! Three separate cards using this new collection! I hope you find it as appealing as I did. Check it out! There is something for everyone!
