Hey there, crafty friends! ❄️☕ Grab your favorite mug of cocoa (marshmallows encouraged!) and settle in for a little holiday magic—because the July Spellbinders Clubs have arrived, and they’re bringing all the merry vibes with them!
🎄 From cocoa mugs to snowflakes and all things festive and frosty, this month's kits are filled with heartwarming details that’ll have you feeling the Christmas spirit—whether it’s 90 degrees outside or not! New club sign-ups open today, and if you're already a subscriber, you can still add clubs to your lineup. Thinking about upgrading to the Deluxe Caboodle? That window technically closed on the 5th—so be sure to plan ahead for next month! Or sign up now and gift those double subscriptions to a favorite crafty friend!
As always, I’ve challenged myself to use every product from this month’s kit lineup across all 11 cards—you’ll spot almost every sentiment and little die in action throughout today’s post. Let’s dive in and celebrate some mid-year merry!
This holiday duo is bringing double the cheer and twice the texture! ❄️ I used both the Small and Large Die of the Month sets from Spellbinders, plus each of the embossing folders—but with a little twist: I flipped the panels to show off the debossed side instead! I love how it gives you even more creative flexibility with these folders. From cocoa mugs and mittens to Santa and his sleigh, this set is full of festive charm and cozy details.

Merry Christmas Card:
Warm Cocoa Wishes Card:
This set brings all the frosty feels! ❄️ Once again, I featured both of this month’s embossing folders, showcasing their classic, raised texture for extra dimension this time. The Small and Large Die of the Month sets brought the festive fun with cocoa mugs, candy canes, and adorable winter characters—and the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month added the perfect warm-and-fuzzy sentiments. These cards are full of texture, charm, and cozy holiday cheer!

Winter Cheers Card:
Cozy Hugs and Cocoa Kisses Card:
This festive pair is full of shimmer and stitching magic! ✨ I used both the Glimmer and Stitching Die of the Month kits to bring these wintery cards to life. And while the foil may look gold in photos, I pinky promise—it’s actually silver foil from this month’s Glimmer kit! The stitching details add the perfect cozy layer, making these cards sparkle and shine in the loveliest way.

Let It Snow Card:
This duo is giving cozy-meets-contemporary vibes, and I’m here for it! ❄️✨ One card features the Glimmer of the Month, bringing in that signature shimmer to warm up the winter magic. The other highlights the BetterPress of the Month on pebble-colored cotton paper—my first time using it, and I'm totally smitten! It adds a crisp, modern touch that beautifully contrasts the playful holiday characters. Soft neutrals + festive charm = a wintry mix I’ll be reaching for again!

Holiday Cheer card:
These cards are giving all the cozy Christmas sweater vibes! 🧶❄️ I used the Stencils of the Month to build layered patterns that feel straight out of a handmade holiday pullover, then paired them with the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month for those sweet wintry sentiments and frosted snowflakes. The mix of hearts and snowflakes brings a touch of warmth to your holiday crafting—just like your favorite knit on a chilly day!

Cozy Wishes card:
Sweet, festive, and just a bit mischievous—this final card is the gingerbread cherry on top! 🍬 I used the exclusive gingerbread man die (the freebie included only in the Deluxe Caboodle) to bring this little cutie to life. While it was designed to coordinate with the Small Die of the Month, I paired it with the Large Die instead—and they’re pretty adorable together, if I do say so myself! The sentiment and snowflake accents tie it all together with a touch of holiday magic.
