Spellbinders St. Nick die set creates a perfect old fashioned Santa and I could not resist him the minute I saw the set. I created this tag and mini-slimline card and love how they turned out. I admit I usually use mostly traditional colors on my Christmas cards and tags, but I did make Santa's outfit blue on my card. I love how the set includes a tall hat and a shorter one that fits on an A2 card!
But I saw that Spellbinders has a contest going calling for lilac colored cards to promote their Lilac Scout Platinum Machine which is an adorable mini die cutting machine perfect for your desk or to travel with. So I stepped out of my box and made this book binding z-fold card:
I cut his suit out of several shades velvet paper so it is soft to the touch. His "ho-ho-ho" sign was created with a die from the Spellbinders Stitched Christmas Sweater die set. Spellbinders had a great sale recently and look at what my Christmas present to myself is:
I work in limited space here in my craft room and teach classes where sometimes the students have to cut just one or two small dies, so I treated myself to the Spellbinders Lilac Scout Platinum die cutting machine in the Starter Gift Set. It is small but mighty and I am thrilled to add her to my Spellbinders die cutting family.
I am entering the lilac colored St. Nick card in the Lilac Shimmer Contest at Spellbinders.
