Today I'm sharing cards using a few of the new Spellbinders July 2026 Club products. This month's theme is Cue the Merry, perfect for all your holiday projects. As you know, in cardmaking land, we like to celebrate Christmas in July so everyone has plenty of time to purchase and start working on holiday cards early. (Affiliate links are used throughout at no additional cost to you. Any small commission I make goes toward my craft fund so I can continue to create and share with all of you. xx)
Spellbinders Clubs: How It Works
Scroll to the bottom for a complete list of products used.
I chose to create bokeh style backgrounds using the Holiday Harmony layering stencil this month.
I used the following Distress Oxide Inks on metallic navy card panels:
Picket Fence
Tumbled Glass
Prize Ribbon
For even more snow, I flicked each inked panel with Splatter White Opaque Watercolor SCS-328.
I pulled holiday dies released last year to dress up these two cards, using 3D embossed panels to ground the focal images.
To see the card I made last year with this adorable penguin couple, check out my blog Merry Christmas Around the World with Spellbinders.
I chose not to stitch the stitching die this month, electing to emboss the scarves with the Snuggly Knit Embossing Folder of the Month and embellishing their sweaters with wee die cuts.
Naturally, I had to make a rosy-nosed reindeer wearing, well, a reindeer jumper (that's sweater in British English). He looks pretty cozy, don't you think? All of the wee die elements from Chiming Christmas Etched Dies S4-1464 are perfectly sized for this sweater. (So many fun ideas, eh?) In fact, ALL the elements from the entire Cuckoo Cottage Collection fit nicely on his snuggly sweater.
I couldn't resist an autumn card, creating a sweet doe this time wearing a cuddly mossy green jumper with red maple leaf. She was foraging for mushrooms with her wee squirrel friend. All the fall elements are from the Harvest Time Etched Dies S4-1473. Her sweet pink bow is from the Chiming Christmas Etched Dies S4-1464.
