Country Christmas Card Ideas That Will Warm Your Heart

Hello friends, I am back again on this Tuesday to show you the rest of the Spellbinders Country Christmas collection die sets that I have. Last week I showed you the cute Country Snowman, and today I have the barn and the horse-drawn wagon. My post has a lot of pictures, so enjoy.

My first project uses the Country Christmas Barn die set. I wanted to create a snowy scene, so I made the barn bright red to stand out against the white background. The barn has a roof, a decorative edge for the gable, and both doors and windows. I opted for open doors.

The die set also includes dies for a wreath for the door and two sizes of pine trees. Using the Landscape Edges die set, I created some snowbanks and inked the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I dry embossed some light blue shimmer cardstock with a snowflake embossing folder for the sky, then added the snowbanks and two trees in the background.

After popping my barn up with foam tape onto the front of this 5×7 card, I added a small tree in the open doors, decorating it with gel pen “lights” and a star punched out of yellow glitter cardstock. I completed my card with a gold metallic sentiment banner from the Handmade Sentiments die set.

My second card uses the horse-drawn wagon die set. It was a lot of fun to cut all the pieces and then assemble the horse and wagon. The two parts make a lovely focal point stretching across the entire landscape side of a 5×7 card.

I coordinated the colors between the horse’s collar and the gifts on the wagon and added it to my card panel, which is a piece of Christmas patterned paper. The card was completed with the words “joy to the world” from the Spellbinders Handwritten Holiday Sentiments die set, cut in white with a black shadow. Using the music notes from the Classic Mouse Borders die set, I randomly added them around the words.

Thank you for visiting with me in the middle of the week. This is a lovely collection, and I definitely think both of these die sets could be used for occasions beyond just Christmas. See you next time!
