I’ve got a second card to share featuring the new City Holiday Collection by Yana Smakula* at Spellbinders*. This one is a really fun set to play with, and I love it because not only does it make for a really elegant and impactful design when used as a whole, but it also gives us some great little elements to play with and use on their own and with other sets. I know I’m going to have fun playing with this one to come up with more Christmas card designs this year.

Handmade die cut Christmas card inspiration featuring the Yana Smakula City Holiday Collection apartment building etched die set from Spellbinders Paper Arts.

I of course used my favourite Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock* for the whole card, along with some of their Treasured glitter card. I love how beautifully it die cuts, and also how wonderfully it foils. The sentiment comes from an older collection of Yana’s! The snowy backdrop was created by foiling the Sprinkled Confetti press plate* on Indigo ColorWheel cardstock.
