I Took The Spellbinders Candy Christmas Train For A Spin!

Hello!  

How cute is this?  I was sent this by Spellbinders to play with.  There are several more dies, but I couldn't fit everything on this A2 card.  This is a large set, so I would suggest numbering like I did for Mickey Mouse.  I linked what supplies I could below (AFIL, Thank you for your support!) If something isn't available, I tried to find something close.

Organization is the key.  It's just like building a puzzle, but more fun for me;).  If you click on the train die set link in products you will also find a diagram that's pretty helpful, especially for the first time you use it.

I think I will try to make a "steampunk-ish" one soon.  I'll share if  I do!  I know it feels early to be making Christmas cards, but if you make a lot of these you'll want to get started!

I'll be back soon with another "sweet" project that's double interactive!

Here are the supplies I used:

Take care.  I'll be back very soon!

Here’s How to Use Spellbinders New Drop-Shadow Joy Die

Hello!  

Thank you for stopping by!  Spellbinders just released a die that’s unique called Drop-Shadow Joy by Yana Smakula in her City Holiday collection.  It’s linked below (afil—thank you so much for my links!)  I also have Spellbinders layering chart to help you deal with the tiny pieces!

There are a few variations to try:  the single without the drop-shadow and layering the drop-shadow with one or two colors.  The one above has one shadow, the one below has two.  

I used a couple of Rangers seasonal mica sprays to make the background and three shades of red cardstock to diecut joy.

For background, I sprayed some Distress Mica Sprays onto white watercolor cardstock.  I used three shades of red for “joy.”

Here’s the user guide:

Until next time,
