Spellbinders Holiday 2021 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Spellbinders Blog Hop featuring products from the Holiday 2021 Collections.  
Have you seen all the new August Releases
There are some really awesome things for the upcoming seasons and this super cute new Add To Cart Collection 😍. 
I love this time of year!! 


Today I'm featuring my own collection with Spellbinders  called Add To Cart.


My first card uses the Add To Cart 3D Shopping Cart and is full of Christmas presents.  The shopping cart is tied up with a big red festive bow!  
The presents and tree are from the Shopping Cart Holiday and Presents Add On and the Shopping Bag is from the Shopping Bags Die Set and I stuffed a festive piece of tissue paper in it.
The embossed background on the card is with the Plaid Company Embossing Folder.


For this card, I started with the Plaid Company Embossing Folder for the background and stacked presents on top of presents from the Shopping Cart Holiday and Presents Add On. This is a fun way to use that die set without the shopping cart.  This would be great for birthday presents, wedding presents and any occasion you would need a gift for,

Here is another way to use Add To Cart. I put the shopping cart full of presents in front of the Christmas tree and then put them both behind the window.
The window is from the Window View Die Set, (I'm currently not finding it on the website, I hope it hasn't gone away!)

Then to make it extra fun, I used a set of EZ Lights from Pear Blossom Press to light the tree,  They are super easy to use, each light set has 3 light and a fairly low profile battery that you can easily hide by mounting the card on foam squares.  
To use: Decide where you want the lights and mark with a pencil.  
Poke a hole, or in this case, slide under the tree bough, and insert the light. 
Secure it on the back with a piece of Scotch tape or washi tape.  
Turn it over to look at it and make sure everything is in place and no adjustments are needed.  If it all looks good, then gently fold the excess wire behind the tree and secure with tape.  The back is pretty nasty looking, but when you adhere it to the card, no one will even know.  
I made sure all my wires were coming directly down the tree trunk so I could hide them with my window.


I adhered the battery pack to the card with double stick tape.  I cut off all pieces of my die cuts that would be hanging outside the window piece and then covered it all up with the window piece.  I embossed the gray cardstock with the Beach Towel Embossing Folder to look like house siding and popped it up on foam squares.
I've never done anything like this before and let me tell you, these lights are so COOL!!!  Definitely head over to Pear Blossom Press and check them out!  I've already got a couple more projects in mind using them!



I hope that helped you with some additional ideas on how to use the Add To Cart Collection!
