Spellbinders | It’s a Christmas Season – Christmas Blooms Mini Slimline Card. Video

Hello crafters, welcome back for another episode of the “It’s a Christmas Season Cardmaking Video Series” for 2021. Watch episode one HERE | Episode two HERE |

In this video, I have a no-stamping mini slimline card with a hot foiled sentiment and lots of die-cut Christmas blooms. This is quite a labor-intensive card, so not something you’d want to mass-produce. But I do have mass-producible Christmas card ideas coming, too. So stay tuned!

CARD DETAILS

This card once again is similar in design to a project shared last spring with Spellbinders floral dies. It features a very simple design – a sentiment at the bottom of the panel and pretty blooms scattered above it.

I used Spellbinders Essential Christmas Greetings Glimmer Sentiments set and I foiled each sentiment in matte gold foil on Spellbinders Glacier cardstock. This particular paper is very smooth and it takes foil perfectly well. I’m yet to try foiling something a little bit more solid on this paper, but overall, it is a good one for general foiling. I know you guys, like me, are on the hunt for great colored cardstock for hot foil stamping – so this one I definitely recommend.

Once my foiling was done I adhered the panel, it was cut to 3 1/4 x 6 1/4″, onto a mini slimline card base. Next, I used Spellbinders Christmas Blooms die set to embellish the card. It is a very mighty die set with loads of little dies and multiple ways to assemble them giving you a lot of creative options. I used the Spellbinders Blooms Paint Palette to help me sort the die cuts and stay organized while I worked on this card.

You can also combine this set with a previously released Mini Blooms and Sprigs set for even more options. I used a variety of cardstock colors from my stash: Lipstick Red, Schoolhouse Red, Peridot, Rainforest, Peony, Gold Glitter, and White.

I adhered the die cuts in place using Bearly Art Glue and some foam adhesive squares. Finally, I dressed this card up with the Spellbinders Gold Mix Gems – I added some onto the centers of the flowers and some onto the background adding a little bit more sparkle to this card.

Have fun crafting!
