Calm, Bright, and Beautifully Simple 

Spellbinders | October 2025 Clubs
10/08/2025

Hi everyone!

Sometimes less really is more. For this design, I used the October 2025 Clear Stamp of the Month Club from Spellbinders for the sentiment, pairing it with some favorite older products in my stash. The result is a clean and simple Christmas card that feels timeless and serene. The crisp silhouette of Santa’s sleigh soaring above a glowing city skyline perfectly complements the sentiment: All is calm & bright.

Note: Technically, I get the Clear Stamp AND DIE of the month club, but after I got this card mostly complete I realized I didn’t need the die for the sentiment. I think it’s a great nod to the fact that sometimes you need to be able to flex a bit as your design is coming together – and a reminder about the versatility of the Spellbinders’ Clubs.

Design Highlights 🎄

  • 🖋 Sentiment star – The October 2025 Clear Stamp of the Month sentiment takes center stage, delivering a message of calm and brightness.
  • 🌆 Glowing city scene – A city skyline die with glowing windows adds warmth and contrast against the deep blue sky.
  • 🎅 Santa’s silhouette – The classic sleigh-and-reindeer detail brings instant Christmas magic to the design.
  • ❄️ Clean and simple style – Minimal layering and a bold frame let the elements shine without distractions.

This design shows that a few thoughtful details can deliver all the Christmas spirit you need.

I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
