Hello, crafting friends! Heejung Hunsberger here, thrilled to be back as a guest designer on the Spellbinders blog. The holidays may seem far off, but with the Merry Moments Limited Edition Holiday Card Making Kit and the Merry Moments Collection now released, it's the perfect time to start our festive creations!
If you'd like to get to know me better, visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel where I regularly post video tutorials.

Whimsical Village Greetings Card
For my first card, I started with a light blue cardstock base from the kit. I took the "Season's Greetings" sentiment from the clear stamp set in the kit, stamped it with watermark ink, and heat embossed it with gold powder for a luxurious touch.
The adorable die-cut house shapes from the kit were adhered with foam stickers, adding dimension. To complete the whimsical scene, I attached gold crystal gems (not included in the kit) that resemble falling snow. This card evokes warmth and a sense of home, making it perfect for sending during the holiday season.
Festive Ornament Card
My second card features a delightful array of holiday ornaments, showcasing the kit's versatile die-cut shapes. I used a pale pink A2 card base and embossed it with the Christmas Cameos 3D Embossing Folder from the Merry Moments Collection to add depth and detail to the background. This folder creates intricate texture that elevates the card!
To make the ornaments stand out, I used the Arch Labels and Tag Die Set for the white arch panel, which provides a perfect backdrop.
For the hanging strings, die-cut them from gold metallic cardstock using the string die from the Stitched Curved Border & Ornaments die set (DOM-NOV21). Hanging from these strings are three distinct and detailed ornaments, each with unique patterns and colors. I enhanced their dimension by drawing highlight lines with a white gel pen and added depth with foam squares from the kit. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment banner at the bottom ties the whole design together with a classic holiday greeting.
Elegant Christmas Tree Card
My final card features a classic holiday design centered on a striking Christmas tree. I used vibrant red design paper with a subtle white polka dot pattern from the kit, setting a festive tone.
The layered Christmas tree from the kit, decorated with foam stickers, features gold accents and a pink bow. White gel pen highlights add detail. A small arch die-cut from white cardstock creates a snow globe effect, resting on a patterned strip from the kit, with the "Happy Holidays" sentiment completing the design.
Creating cards with the Merry Moments Limited Edition Holiday Card Making Kit was a blast! It includes everything needed for heartfelt cards for everyone on your list. Additionally, consider exploring the coordinating Merry Moments Collection, such as the Christmas Cameos 3D Embossing Folder, to enhance your holiday creations.
Happy crafting!
XOXO, Heejung
