Hello, crafty friends! I’m thrilled to finally introduce you to my brand-new City Holiday collection with Spellbinders! Each year, I enjoy designing festive products for holiday cardmaking, and this year, I’m especially excited to bring this release to you in time for the holiday season.

This release is quite different from my previous collections. It’s my first die-focused collection – something I’ve been dreaming of doing for a long time. I adore die cutting and use dies in almost every card I make, so it felt like the perfect direction. Let me walk you through each product in this festive five-piece release!

SHADOW JOY DIE SET
The Layered Shadow Joy die set is a bold sentiment set that lets the word JOY shine as the centerpiece of your card. The set includes both the base and shadow layers, along with several accent pieces to help you customize your designs. It’s perfectly sized for A2 cards in both portrait and landscape orientation. Can work on 5×7, too!

CHRISTMAS CRACKER DIE SET
Who doesn’t love a good Christmas cracker? The set includes the cracker itself, a banner sentiment (“Happy Holidays”), and a variety of foliage and accents you can use on other cards, too!

CITY HOLIDAY DIE SET
This one has a special place in my heart. The City Holiday Die Set is inspired by where I live, complete with arched windows, a street-level shop, and even tiny details like curtains, pets, gifts, and snowy trims.
You can build shaped cards, add snowy rooftops, or fill the windows with warm light and twinkling trees. It’s fun to personalize and makes a great focal point for city-style holiday cards. It works beautifully on A2 cards and even larger 5x7s if you want a bit more space to decorate!

HAPPIEST HOLIDAYS BETTERPRESS REGISTRATION SET
This elegant BetterPress registration set allows you to layer and align multiple ink colors or foil with your Glimmer system. It’s a more advanced set, but if you enjoy registration-style stamping or foiling, the results are stunning. I’ll be back with a full tutorial soon to guide you on how to use this set.

CHRISTMAS CHEER SENTIMENTS
Last but not least: Sentiments! A versatile set of holiday press sentiments! These coordinate beautifully with every die in the City Holiday collection. From “Season’s Greetings from Our House to Yours” (perfect for the apartment building!) to “Merry Everything and Happy Always,” these timeless messages will work for all your winter makes.
I designed many more sentiments than we could fit into this set… but I think you’ll love the ones we included.
