Spellbinders – Dancing Nutcracker Card

| ullycatdesigns

Welcome to Day 4 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses products by Spellbinders – Dancin’ Nutcracker Fritz and Happy Holidays die sets and Honey Bee Stamps Soulful Season 3D embossing folder as well as Hero Arts’ A Little Nuts stamp set.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: Emboss a 5.5-8.5 piece of white 65lb. cardstock using the Honey Bee Stamps Soulful Season 3D embossing folder following the directions in the video above. Trim down to a 5×7-inch panel. Glue to the front of an A7 (5×7-inch) cardbase. (I used a purchased cardbase and envelope.)

Nutcracker & Drum: Referring to the image of the nutcracker on the packaging for the Spellbinders Dancin’ Nutcracker Fritz die set, cut out all the pieces using your own color scheme. Cut a black strip to go behind the face for the eyes. (I cut two drums – one for the front and one for the card back along with drum sticks.) Assemble nutcracker and drums as shown in video above.

Sentiments: Using the Spellbinders Happy Holidays die set, cut from red paper. (I upcycled a red envelope.)

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A7 size envelope with a nutcracker and “Nutcracker is my favorite season” on the envelope back using the Hero Arts’ A Little Nuts stamp set and blue ink.
