Happy Friday Friends! Today I'm back with a card featuring Hero Arts NEW Home  For The Holidays Collection that was part of the July 2026 Release. You can find the full release HERE.

 

 Today's card features the NEW Winter Wreath Die Set (DF302) and a sentiment from the Season's Greetings Stamp Set (CM865). The background panel was created with Spellbinders Brick by Brick 3D Embossing Folder of the Month (3EOM-OCT25) which is still available. As for the door, I didn't have the stencil to work with so I created my own faux door by cutting rectangles from Poppy and Pomegranate card stock and doing a little ink blending with red and brown ink to add a little distressing to the panels. I will have the measurements listed below in case you want to try to create one too.

 

 Card Measurements:

White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

White Embossed A2 Panel: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

The Color Hues Challenge #137 | Spectacular Christmas Collection

Spellbinders | July 2026 Large Die of the Month

 PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST 

 

Spellbinders NEW July 2026 Club Kits are NOW available for registration! Today I'm sharing a card featuring the NEW July 2026 Large Die of the Month. If you are not already a subscriber, the registration window is open now through July 27th and can be found HERE.

 

The July 2026 Large Die of the Month is called, Merry Shuffle (DOML-JUL26). This set includes a Christmas Tree, Santa and a Elf.

 

I created a shaker card featuring the NEW Merry Shuffle Large Die of the Month (DOML-JUL26) along with a sentiment from the Holiday Banner Greetings Press + Foil Plate & Die Set (BP-376) foiled with Opaque White Foil (GLF-049).

 

Card Measurements:

White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

White Panel: 6 1/4" x 5 1/2" with 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" Window  

Acetate: 3 3/4" x 5" (behind white panel)

Acetate: 3 3/4" x 5" (behind Acetate panel with foam tape & filled with Snow to create shaker window in front of Santa and the elf) 

Poppy Glimmered Sentiment Strip: 2 7/8" x 3/8" 

 

Pop-Up Shadow Shaker Instructions:

I created a spin on a Pop-Up Shadow Card and Shaker to eliminate some of the bulk since my snow shaker mix didn't need much room to shake. Not bad for my first try.

• 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2").
• Cut White Panel measuring:  6 1/4" x 5 1/2". Score 1/2" and 1" from each side of the panel. Before folding the score lines, Die Cut a rectangle window measuring 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" in center. You can now fold your tabs to create a pop-up to be attached directly to your A2 card base when ready.
• Cut 2 pieces of Acetate measuring 3 3/4" x 5".
• The first piece of acetate is secured directly behind the White Panel to cover the window opening. I use strong adhesive like score tape. I then used 1/8" foam tape to create shaker well then filled with snow mix. You will seal this with the other piece of Acetate.
• Die Cut Elements to create your scene. I used the Tree, Santa and Elf from Merry Shuffle Large Die of the Month (DOML-JUL26). These elements are glued directly to the top of the A2 Panel.
• Glimmer a sentiment using the Holiday Banner Greetings Press + Foil Plate & Die Set (BP-376) foiled with Opaque White Foil (GLF-049). 
• Attach the Pop-Up Shaker panel to the top of the A2 Card Base with strong adhesive. 
• Attach sentiment to the front of the card.
