Spellbinders International Holiday Sentiment Collection

The holidays are the perfect time to celebrate tradition, warmth, and the joy of sharing heartfelt greetings — even across languages. The Spellbinders International Holiday Sentiment Collection makes it easy to do just that, offering beautifully scripted sentiments in French, Italian, German, and Spanish, each with coordinating shadow dies for effortless dimension. For these two Christmas cards, I focused on the French sentiments Joyeux Noël and Joyeuses Fêtes, pairing them with rich ColorWheel cardstock, elegant embossing, and the timeless Barn Star Wreath Die to create classic holiday designs.
