Spellbinders - More Classic Christmas Bird Poinsettia

Hello everyone.  I’m back today with my second Christmas card of the year!  I’m using the Spellbinders (SB) Christmas Bird Poinsettia dies and Christmas Die and Glimmer Sentiment Hot Foil Plates and Die set from the Classic Christmas Collection again.  This time I couldn’t wait to use the candy cane die.  It’s so well designed because it doesn’t have an outline top layer like other dies I’ve seen and/or own.  Definitely my favourite candy cane die! .


All images were die cut from alcohol marker friendly cardstock and coloured with Copic Sketch markers. 

Copic markers used:
pinks - RV52/63/55
greens - YG03, G05/09/28


The sentiment was die cut from gold foil paper.  Adhered it to its white shadow that was partially die cut then fussy cut to smooth out the partial die cut edge.  The background is white woodgrain paper embossed with the Dimensional Diamonds 3D embossing folder.  Assembled the card to finish,


And here are the two simple cards using these sets.  First card was posted HERE


Love how versatile this set is with its many iconic Christmas images.  SB products used for my card are linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.

    Fabulous card, Trina! What terrific candy cane dies! And what a great combination of Christmas dies with the holly, the white pine, and the berries all clustered with the candy canes! Great texture in the embossed background too.

    What a pretty candy cane holiday card, Trina! Your coloring of the candy canes is excellent! The shiny highlights make them look dimensional. The color-coordinated berries are tastefully done, and the diamond 3D embossed background looks awesome!

    Your candy canes are so realistic that I had to enlarge them on my computer screen to see if they were 3D ones! Your coloring is amazing!!! The background texture is fabulous too, making for a fantastic card! Thank you for sharing it with us this month at Christmas Craft Creations!
