The Country Christmas Collection by Annie Williams for Spellbinders radiates rustic holiday charm with a cozy, rural aesthetic. The collection comprises of seven versatile crafting tools, including five intricately designed die sets, a BetterPress sentiments plate, and a 3D embossing folder.
- Country Christmas Barn – Die set to build an oversized, detailed barn dressed up with wreaths, lights, and pine trees.
- Christmas Horse-Drawn Wagon – Die set of a horse drawn wagon filled with presents.
- Barn Star Wreath – Die set creates a bold, 3D star-shaped focal point with interchangeable inserts, embellish with berries, orange slices, pine cones, or a layered bow.
- Country Snowman – Die set of a snowman with a cowboy hat and bandanna, accompanied by an adorable bunny, bird, bird feeder, welcome sign, and broom.
- Christmas Rocking Chair – Die set crafts a charming rocking chair complete with pillow, blanket, and teddy bear—add Santa boots or a galvanized-bucket tree.
- Country Christmas Banner & Sentiments – BetterPress plate includes ten holiday sentiments, plus three banner/sign dies and grommets.
- Country Christmas – 3D embossing folder with a quilt-patterned background filled with woven holly, wreaths, ornaments, stars, and trees.
From building a snow-topped barn or a rocking chair to assembling a cowboy-hat–wearing snowman, horse-drawn wagon, or star wreath, each piece brings nostalgic, country-themed scenes to life and can easily be repurposed beyond the holiday season.

Country Snowman Card
This sweet country snowman was made using the Country Snowman die set. I built him from distress watercolor cardstock, dressed him in a cowboy hat and red scarf, and gave him a gold star badge for that western flair. The little wooden sign, cardinal, and bunny add so much personality to the scene! A soft dusty blue background sets off the snowy details perfectly, and I finished with a gold glimmered “Sending Joy” sentiment for that warm country Christmas feel.
Refer to the guide below for the snowman assembly instructions.

Barn Star Ornament Card
For this card, I began with a deep green background embossed with the Country Christmas 3D embossing folder to create that beautiful quilted texture. The detachable ornament was made with the Barn Star Wreath die set, layered in gold glitter and rich red cardstock, then accented with pine sprigs, berries, and a tiny dried-orange slice for a cozy, festive touch. The arched card base adds a soft finish, and the gold glimmered “Merry Christmas” sentiment completes this simple yet elegant design.

Christmas Barn Card
To make this card, I started by die cutting the barn from the Country Christmas Barn die set in gray and white tones, then added warm white lights and a dusting of snow along the roof for that perfect frosty, country look. The classic red pickup, created with the Timeless Truck die set, adds a cheerful pop of color, parked in front of the barn and framed by a few evergreen trees. A gold glimmered sentiment and snowy ground bring everything together for a cozy holiday scene that feels straight out of a winter postcard.

Autumn Barn Card
Who says these dies are just for Christmas? The Country Christmas Barn die set transitions beautifully into other seasons too! Here, I swapped snowy details for colorful autumn leaves, pumpkins, and a friendly horse.
To create this cheerful fall scene, I used the barn die again, this time in bright red with crisp white trim. The golden trees and pumpkins give it that perfect autumn feel, while the horse from the Christmas Horse-Drawn Wagon die set adds just the right touch of farmhouse charm. A light blue sky background keeps things fresh and airy, and the “Autumn Greetings” sentiment pulls it all together beautifully.
Refer to the guide below for the horse assembly instructions.
