Santa Style, All Buttoned Up

Spellbinders | Simon Hurley North Pole Friends Collection
07/20/2025

Hi everyone!

This jolly guy is checking his list—and probably checking it twice! I used the Simon Hurley North Pole Friends Collection from Spellbinders to create this festive holiday card, full of layered charm and wintery fun.

The color palette came together with help from the Holiday DIY Color Deck Expansion Pack and Color Swatch Petal Stack. I matched the swatches to Spellbinders ColorWheel cardstock to find the perfect shades for Santa’s iconic red suit and the cool blue background.

And that list? It’s the one we all hope to land on the right side of—naughty or nice, of course! 😄

Design Highlights 🎄

  • 📜 Santa holding his “naughty or nice” list – A playful nod to the classic Christmas tale.
  • 🎨 Coordinated color combo – Built using the Holiday Color Deck + Petal Stack and matched to ColorWheel cardstock.
  • ❄️ Embossed snowflakes – Soft texture for a wintery feel.
  • ✨ Scattered sequins – Like tiny snowflakes falling across the design.
  • 💬 “Happy Holidays” sentiment banner – Foiled and festive on icy blue.

This card is full of holiday personality—cheerful, cozy, and a little bit nostalgic. 🎁❄️

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!
