Hey cardmaking friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed celebrating the 4th with family and friends. We sure did, and I took a couple of well-deserved days off—much needed, LOL! Now I’m back with a brand-new cardmaking video featuring the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month for July 2025. I’m also showcasing the July Deluxe Caboodle Free Gift, the Ginger Sip Die Set, which includes an extra die so you can create an adorable cocoa mug too!

Spellbinders Small Die of the Month July 2025 – Reindeer.
He’s my favorite—so sweet and festive, LOL!
Cardstock used: Cranberry, Truffle, Fawn, Teal Topaz, Waterfall, white, and AB Glimmer paper.
Pro Tip: Lightly spritz the Waterfall card front with water before embossing. This simple step gives you a much deeper, crisper embossed impression.
As I mention in the video, I’m absolutely in love with the 3D Stary Snowflake Embossing Folder. The dotted circles around the snowflakes add so much texture and charm. Adding a darker die-cut circle behind the reindeer helps frame and highlight the focal point while continuing the circle theme throughout the design.
Spellbinders Small Die of the Month July 2025 – Santa
Spellbinders has truly done it again—these dies are packed with amazing detail that brings every image to life.
I decided to give him a fun twist with a red hat, even though it’s technically supposed to be whipped cream—LOL!
To highlight the beautiful texture from the Frosted Stitch Embossing Folder, I added a touch of ombre ink blending to the card front. It really makes those embossed details pop!
Spellbinders Small Die of the Month July 2025 – Penguin
This little guy is just too adorable with his two-tone scarf and whipped cream top!
I like to keep my Christmas cards simple, especially when I’m making them in sets of five or ten. I also try to avoid extra postage costs, so I keep the layers to a minimum. This card is a single layer with no embossing—instead, I added a couple of die-cut snowflakes to enhance that frosty, winter feel.
Spellbinders Deluxe Caboodle Bonus Gift – Ginger Sip Die Set:
This is one of my favorites of the Caboodle gifts for sure. He can be a gift tag (as I show you in the video), or he adapts to the cocoa mug with the Small Die of the Month Club kit.
