Tis the season to be jolly! Even though it is only August, Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye. I’m sure you are already listing out all the cards and gifts you’re gonna make, right? This year I’ve designed a Christmas Collection and am so tickled to be Introducing A Charming Christmas – for Spellbinders. We have a hop today to show you all the goodies and things we’ve made. You can see the entire collection —–> HERE.
By the way, here today I show a project using the Grand Cabinet, and it is back in stock as of yesterday but in short supply!
Also, if you read through my post and look at comments, many thought this collection was sold out – lol not yet :-) It is indeed available.
About A Charming Christmas Collection
Sweet little charms are so fun to play with, they can be dangled off of gifts, dangled off of cards and used in 3D Projects – they are just like the icing on the cake. You will see that the “holiday” part of most of the sets in this collection have a Charm to personalize them – they are sized the same so you can mix and match them through your projects! Here’s the big deal: Outside of the charms and embellishments you add to make these dies Christmas, separately they can be used all year-round!! Yep, we’re all budget shoppers too and want to get the most use out of a die!
Join us as each Creative Team member shares their creations with two dies from the collection. Don’t forget, each of us will be giving away an Amazing Paper Grace die pulled from the comments – one from each blog. The prize details are at the bottom of my post. So, without further ado let me talk about the dies I get to introduce:
My Projects Today:
First up is S4-963 – Snowflake Topper Borders
I love how both of these pieces can be used on the vertical or the horizontal for easy cards. Today I decided to go with the horizontal panel by cutting the rounded element twice. That leaves the perfect place for a sentiment! I used the new stamps in the set from Sentimental Christmas for the sentiment – it’s fairly large and holds its own on a card!
Second is S6-151 – Holly Jolly Christmas
I just love this template!! Even though I like to make “special” cards, also during Christmas I love a card that I can make assembly line style. This is all cut in one fell swoop and then assembled! I wanted a card front design, in a classic style that’s an easy card make, and looks like the beauty and essence of the season. Yep, Holly Jolly fits the bill :-)
Third up is S4-961-3D-Angel-Ornament
Oh my, this is one of my favorites. It’s so easy to make – simply cut one of each angel, intersect them, tie on a loop, hang on your tree!!! So one of the areas where I always fall down during the giving season is the tags and tie ons for bags and gifts. Well, this ornament doubles as a gift tag! I thought it would be so very cool to give some of the ornaments during an ornament exchange and on the bag, use a dimensional angel for the tag.
She’s so simple on her own, but for the version that is hanging in the Cabinet Card Base. I cut two of each angel and then even cut out a set of wings to insert as well. Cut, intersect, hang and admire! No glue here on this just cut and assemble project.
Availability:
These dies are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–> HERE

I love the way this card has a sort of contemporary feel with traditional colors and a but of glamour. Anyone would love to get one. Thanks Becca for your beautiful inspiration.
Oh, Becca. Your cards are always so beautiful. I make my own Christmas cards every year and always make a few extra special ones for family and special friends. Love this one and will try to duplicate it for some of those.
SO GORGEOUS, Becca!!! I too tend to go to the traditional colors, but every so often…. I mix it up! I think YOU were the one who taught me that! LOL LOVE the rich red & gold you’ve used on this card & the calligraphy too! ;)
By the way, I used your Grand Cabinet on a card just recently, & posted it to my blog TODAY!!! I LOVE how it came out! I sent it to a dear friend & I look forward to making MORE!!! ;) THANK YOU BECCA, for creating for us!!! ;)Huh, it just HIT ME! JUST MAYBE, I will use the Grand Cabinet for Christmas Cards????? ;) (((HUGS DEAR LADY!)))
So amazelingly lovely and easy to make! Another must buy for me! Thank you!!!
This is absolutely elegant. Love the dies and the paper. The poinsettias are grand.
As usual, stunning die designs and an elegant card. I, too, am partial to traditional Christmas colors. Thank you for sharing!
OOoooOO Honey!! I love this card. It certainly “speaks” Christmas! Cant wait to get my hands on these new dies. Thank you so much for such brilliant designs!
Beautiful card love how you designed this card. Quinty girl
Such a beautiful new die that can have a special verse tucked right into it! LOVE this new addition!
Another beautiful card thanks Becca, but the thought of Christmas coming soon scares me totally, so much to do and such a busy time. Take care. Thanks Jan
A beautiful card design in traditional colors. You are so clever with designing your card die cuts.
The Christmas Boughs Dies is just lovely. Jewelry for cards! I just placed my order.
Stunning Christmas card . Love your new dies super Awesome
Hi there love traditional other colours are nice but
I keep going back to traditional .
Love your card happy you are well and happy
take care hugs Pam XX
Hi, Becca,
Since red is my favorite color, the traditional colors are perfect. The Christmas Boughs die holds the sentiment beautifully. I love everything about this card, especially the poinsettias with the gold bow. The poinsettia dies were on my priority list. I think they are going to get a lot of use!
Love & blessings,
Sandy
Becca,
Love the new flowers from your last card. So much more special than the traditional poinsettias. I am a traditionalist when it comes to red and gold and use it mostly for specialty cards for family members.
Currently on vacation but will be ordering some of your new dies when I get back home.
Hugs
Ann Robbins
Absolutely gorgeous. I love the flowers ??
Stunning!
Such a beautiful card and lovely idea for the ‘holder’. Gorgeous as always!

These are just so beautiful. I just love the poinsettia flowers. They really add that extra bit of zing. God bless…Denice with a “c”
Another beautifully elegant card Becca. Love it!
Beautiful elegant card. Must get the Bough die!
What is meant by ‘cinch and go’ on the poinsettia?
Love this Becca! And love the colours. Fantastic new dies!
Hugs

Becca, your cards are so elegant and lovely. Thank you for sharing.
I love, love, love your elegant die cut designs! While I love all of these, my favorite is the Joy card.
OMG love the inscription What is Christmas. Would love that sentiment stamp. Where is one to order it from. Love you dies as well. Your creations make our creations look beautiful.
Wow! Loved this post so much that I went a few pages into your blog. Your creations have inspired me. I have a lot of Spellbinder dies that have gone unused and now I have a whole new perspective on how I can use them.
