Cozy Winter Greetings with Spellbinders and Simon Hurley

 Hello everyone!! Welcome to my cozy corner of winter crafting! Today, I’m sharing a trio of cards created with the new ski-sons-greetings collection by Simon Hurley at Spellbinders — featuring charming A-frame cabins, snowy trees, and a cheerful skier gliding through frosty hills.

For my friends in Switzerland, it's also available at the shop Scraphouse.


I fell in love with the small cabin and the embossing folders and the skiers are so close to my heart :) These dies make it so easy to create little winter stories — whether it’s a season of cheer, a happy new year, or winter greetings, there’s a touch of magic in every layer! 
Grab your inks, a hot drink, and let’s dive into some winter inspiration

I have linked the supplies below for easy access to you :) I did make a video, which I will be adding within a week I hope.

Card 1 – Season of Cheer 


For this card, I chose a deep red cabin against a soft blush pink sky. I used the Ski Lodge, Streamline embossing folder along with the Mistletoe Greetings from the previous release, which I used my glimmer to hot foil. The background has that gentle snowy swirl, created using the embossing folder for subtle texture. 


I ink-blended around the trees and roofline for contrast, then finished it off with a simple sentiment banner: “Season of Cheer”


It feels like a warm cabin glowing in the middle of a quiet snowfall :)

🎿 Card 2 – Winter Greetings


This one captures the fun and sporty side of winter! I used the Ski Lodge, Hit the Slopes, Streamline embossing folder along with the Christmas Greetings Etched Dies.



I added the adorable skier die cut, surrounded by evergreens dusted with ink-blended greens. The sentiment “Winter Greetings” is stacked in soft pastels with a touch of shimmer to bring in that frosty, magical light. I used a soft ombré blend of blue, lilac, and pink for the sky to give it that crisp winter morning vibe.

🎄 Card 3 – Happy New Year


For the final card, I went bold and bright! I used the Ski Lodge, Streamline embossing folder along with the Mistletoe Greetings from the previous release, which I used my glimmer to hot foil.


A pink A-frame cabin sits against a rich red background, dotted with white splatters to mimic falling snow. I love how the mix of warm pinks and cool greens gives a festive, slightly retro holiday feel. The banner saying “Happy New Year” ties it all together — cheerful and full of hope for new beginnings.

I had so much fun playing with this collection — it’s the perfect mix of cozy and creative!
Which one would you like to create this winter: the red cabin, the pink-frame, or out on the ski slopes? ⛷️
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day!
