White Christmas with Spellbinders :D

I made these three cards a couple of months back playing around with some of last years Christmas sets from Spellbinders along with some of the newer sets from this year with the film strip, wheel and post-it note, I just thought they'd work so nicely for some tone on tone simple Christmas cards! Enjoy the video! I only included footage of sticking on card together otherwise it'd have been really long and I cut out a bunch of card allocation and die-cutting to make it shorter too :D Have a wonderful day!
