Spellbinders | Winter Wonder Trio feat. Let It Snow + All Seasons Collection


Hello, crafty friends! I'm back with three cards featuring products from two of the many amazing new releases from Spellbinders! These feature products from both the Let It Snow Collection and Exclusive All Seasons Collection. If you missed my first post with this collection, please be sure to head THERE and see more inspiration for these new releases.


You can find all of the products from this release by clicking HERE or on the banner above, as well as products from so many other releases that I've been sharing with you over the last couple of weeks.


Of course, I had to use these adorable Playful Penguins from the Let It Snow Collection right away because, how could I not?! I just love the different variations and especially their accessories. 


I actually created many variations of these penguins because I couldn't stop playing with them! This colour palette of Cupcake, Salt Water Taffy, Cookie Monster, Plum Punch and Eggplant lends itself so well to switching up the colours for each penguin.


I used Glitter Purple Foam Sheets for the reindeer nose and Silver Glitter Cardstock for the bows on the present and wreath to give this card a bit of sparkle.


To create the background, I used the largest of the Arch Labels and Tag Dies, then created texture with the Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder but didn't emboss the bottom inch so it would be easier to glue the sentiment. 


I also added a strip of Plum Punch cardstock to anchor the sentiment, which was cut from Handwritten Holiday Sentiments using Eggplant cardstock. To finish, I popped on the penguins using foam squares.


My second card features the negative snowflakes from another card that you'll see on the Spellbinders Blog using the positive piece from Frozen Flurries, again from the Let It Snow Collection.


The snowflakes and overall piece was created using a Gel Printing Plate, small brayer and ink colours you'll find in the visual supply list below. Originally, I attempted to create the background using ink colours that matched the cardstock I used but that ink kept beading so I switched to a different brand that spread beautifully with the brayer.


I used the largest of the Precision Layering A2 A Dies to cut the base panel from White Glitter cardstock before painstakingly glueing all of the snowflakes in their respective positions using a vellum template of Frozen Flurries.


The large winter sentiment is from the Four Seasons Dies, cut from Plum Punch and Eggplant cardstock. The secondary sentiment from the All Seasons Winter Press Plate & Die Set was heat foiled on Onyx cardstock using Matte Silver Hot Foil.


The White Glitter cardstock is hard to photograph but I just love all the shimmer on on this card and hope you do, too!


My last card features the Layering Snowflakes from the Let It Snow Collection with a sentiment from the All Seasons Winter Press Plate & Die Set.


From small to large, I used White GlitterPlum Punch and Eggplant cardstock for the snowflakes, plus  Silver Glitter cardstock for the shadow which gives this card its sparkly element.


Again, I used the largest of the Precision Layering A2 A Dies to cut the base panel from Lily White Gingham paper in the Doodlebug 12x12 Gingham and Linen Petite Prints, available at Spellbinders.


After glueing the stack of snowflakes to the patterned paper base panel, I added a sentiment from the All Seasons Winter Press Plate & Die Set, also heat foiled on Onyx cardstock using Matte Silver Hot Foil. I had a hard time choosing a sentiment for this card because so many of them from that set worked well with this design. It would be so easy to create a set of cards in this same design but with different sentiments!


If you're made it here, thank you for reading through this photo-heavy post. I love sharing lots of photos and I hope the different designs inspire you to purchase these products or perhaps create similar cards. Please tag me on social media if you do!
