Let it Snow – With Color-Coordinated Flare
Let it snow—with color-coordinated flair! ❄️🐻 This wintery card features the Simon Hurley North Pole Friends Collection from Spellbinders. I used the Holiday DIY Color Deck Expansion Pack and Color Swatch Petal Stack to build my palette, matching it to Spellbinders ColorWheel cardstock. With bundled-up bears, snowy sparkle, and a pop of evergreen, this card is equal parts cozy and playful. 🎨🌲
Fa La La & Frosty Fun
Fa la la and frosty cheer! ⛄🎶 This winter card features products from Spellbinders’ Wonderland Collection, with a joyful trio of snowmen singing their hearts out. I added embossed snowflakes, glittery snowbanks, and pastel scarves to bring this cozy scene to life. A foiled “Fa La La La La” sentiment adds the perfect finishing touch. This one is packed with charm and sparkle for the season. ❄️💙
Sending Frosty Hugs & Holiday Cheer
Cozy vibes and frosty hugs! ❄️❤️ This holiday card features the Embossing Folder and Stamp and Die of the Month from Spellbinders, with a bold layered poinsettia as the star.

It’s festive, modern, and ready to deliver a little holiday cheer! 🌺✨

Up, Up, and Hello!
Up, up, and hello! ☁️🌈 This cheerful card features products from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release—and it’s all about bold color and soft texture.
