Christmas Mailboxes with Spellbinders Parcel & Post. Video

Hello, friends. Today I have an inspirational video for you featuring new products from Spellbinders and not just any products, but because it’s July, Christmas products. I don’t know about you, but I’ve actually gotten used to starting on my Christmas cards as early as mid-Summer, and in a way, I am grateful to all the paper crafting companies who begin releasing their Christmas products so early in the year. This way I’m less likely to put off my Christmas cardmaking until the last minute.

CARD DETAILS

Spellbinders has several fabulous Christmas collections this month and my favorite is called Parcel & Post. The main die in this collection is, of course, the beautiful old-fashioned mailbox, and then everything else builds on top of it. The mailbox die set comes with beautiful florals, so the mailbox itself is evergreen. You can use it for many types of cards. But this collection also includes Christmas foliage to decorate the mailbox and Valentine’s day decor to make it Valentine’s day mailbox, if you want.

I’ve decided to make my mailboxes red, as I was making Christmas cards. It’s funny, I think every country uses a different color for their mailboxes. They are red in the UK, blue in the US and here in Ukraine, the mailboxes are bright yellow. So you see where I’m going with this – you can make the mailbox the color of the mailbox in your country, or you can go with a different color or even use patterned paper.

I die cut my mailboxes from 3 colors of red cardstock from Spellbinders – Poppy Field, Pomegranate, and Phone Booth and I just mixed the colors of each piece.

Once you’ve assembled your mailbox, there are so many ways to embellish it. This collection comes with several embellishment options and I have used the Parcel & Post Christmas decorations die set to embellish my mailboxes – I love that that set contains candy canes and different types of foliage and greenery.

But you can also use the Christmas dies you already have in your stash. Abobe, for example, is the last year’s Christmas blooms die set – and it works just as well for decorating the mailbox. You have the big and small poinsettias, the foliage, the berries, and everything in between.

This year there’s a new version of the Christmas blooms, called Holiday Blooms and if you are looking the get this set you can also use it to embellish the mailbox as well. With my mailboxes all decorated I foam mounted them onto the embossed background which I adhered to the A2 card bases. I used the This Plus This embossing folder with the little crosses as background for all 3 of my cards.

The title of this blog post is somewhat unusual, but the card I have for you today has…

Comments22

  1. Yana, you’ve done it again. These are utterly adorable and completely bewitching. All the little realistic details make them special. Merry early Christmas to you! Stay safe, sweet friend.

  2. spectacular! I have to have this set – well several actually! Please tell me where you got the little envelopes.

  3. Love these cards. The mailbox dies were the first things I ordered from this release because I love anything postal and these were a little different than other dies that I have. Thanks for the tip about storing die cuts!

  4. What great cards. The mailbox dies are so detailed in that they do look dimensional and also that the little flap even opens. How you decorated them was lovely. Thanks so much.

  5. Yana: So good to see that you are still safe. I love your posts and tutorials. I especially liked this Christmas Parcel and Post. Can you tell me if the collection includes the little envelope. If not, where can I get one?

      1. Yana” I found an envelope on the Valentine’s Mailbox, (I think might be too big) but not on the Open House series. Do you happen to know which Open House set it is from?

  6. I love your style of card making. Makes me want to go and buy all the dies can you please share the UK website for Spellbinders?

  7. How pretty! Being from New England, who doesn’t like a sled? Your cards were lovely. Thank you. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

  8. These are so beautiful Yana. I LOVE all the floral details and the lovely gold foiling. Beautiful rich colours and such a lovely design for Christmas. Hugs, Wends xoxo
