Spellbinders Christmas Release!

 Hello there!  I hope you have had a great week!  Spellbinders has just released some FABULOUS new Christmas products and over the next few weeks I will be sharing projects made with many of those new products.  You can find the July Christmas release right here.    I also want to let you know Spellbinders also has a lot of previously released Christmas products on sale through July 25th.  Just click on the link in my side bar to go to that sale.  (Compensated affiliate links used within the body of this blog post.  Using my links earns me a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support!)

First up are cards that I made using products from the Trim the Tree collection.  This card was created using the O'Christmas Tree etched die set.  The set consists of six dies.  There is a die that cuts a solid tree and one that cuts the over lay or can create an impression on the solid tree.  I used it to die cut an overlay for my card.  There is a die to cut the star for the top of the tree, as well dies to cut little stars and balls for the tree.  I love aqua combined with red so I had to create a card using that combo.  I die cut the solid tree from red glitter cardstock and the overlay from aqua.  I adhered it to a panel of white cardstock die cut with an Essentials rectangle die.  I die cut the star for the top of the tree, as well as the small stars from the red glitter cardstock and adhered them to the card as you see.  The sentiment is from another new product from this release called the Mini Christmas Sentiments Strips for the Glimmer hot for system.  These sentiment plates and dies are from the Tis' the Season collection and you will be seeing the sentiments from this set alot!   The sentiment was hot foiled with red foil and then adhered to the tree.  To finish I added the panel to an aqua cardstock base. 


For the second card I used the Glimmer plate that is part of the Trim the Tree collection.  This the Shining Christmas Tree Glimmer hot foil plate set and it was designed to work perfectly with the O'Christmas Tree die set.  I foiled the tree using gold foil on dark green cardstock and then die cut it using the tree die from O'Christmas Tree.  The star was foiled in gold, as well and then die cut with the star die from O'Christmas Tree.  I the cut polka dot paper from a older pad of Christmas papers, adhered a strip of red glitter paper to the strip and then adhered that to my card front.  The wishing you a sentiment is actually part of a larger sentiment from the Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips hot foiling set and was hot foiled in gold on dark green cardstock.  I die cut the sentiment down using a small banner die from another Spellbinders set and adhered it to my card base.  I adhered the tree and finished it off with the little ornaments die cut from red glitter cardstock.  I'm going to add this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of out with the old in with the new.  The hot foil plates are the new and the patterned paper and glitter cardstock are the old.

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
