Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Amy Tsuruta, and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring the gorgeous Holiday Magic - Rub Ons. This collection of images come in various sizes with plenty of sentiments to create many cards, tags, and gift giving papercrafting projects.
Take a peek at how to create this sweet card with a simple tutorial, starting with a look at the Universal Plate System. I’ve had the Platinum 6 for years and honestly didn’t think I ‘needed’ the Universal Plate System. I’m here to say that it is a game changer.

I trimmed down my cardstock panels to fit the dies that I’m working with. Please note that the photo below is just to show you the cardstock colors and dies I used. I generally cut only one large die at a time.
The Holiday Magic Rub-Ons come with two sheets per package. The other sheet is pictured with the finished card at the top of the post.
You simply cut out the image and sentiment. Make sure you cut through the 2 layers and when you’re ready to apply the image, remove the backer.
I used the die as a guide to know how to space the image and the sentiment. I’m using 100 lb cardstock. This second photo shows the critter has already been applied to the cardstock.
I love working with white cardbases, but for this project I decided to have a Pomegranate A2 panel and then a white panel trimmed to 4.0 x 5.25. Need suggestions for a paper trimmer? Spellbinders carries Guillotine Paper Trimmers.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I adore this sweet collection, and I can’t wait to see how you’re inspired. You can find me over on Instagram @craftee1.
