My Jingle Jolly Christmas Card

My Jingle Jolly Christmas Card - A Christmas Card with a Girl Hanging Ornaments on a Christmas Tree
My Jingle Jolly Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Jingle Jolly Christmas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sally’s Christmas Friends. Even though Christmas in July is over, I did colour this image before it ended. So, I decided to create a Christmas card using her for August.

The Details of My Jingle Jolly Christmas Card

For my card, I wanted to try a non-traditional colour scheme and decided to use the Sugarplum Wishes by Paige Evans with its pinks and blue/greens, as well as traditional colours of reds and greens. So, I coloured Sally and her friends with my Copic markers to match the papers.

Once she was coloured, I used Glossy Accents on the ornaments; Star Dust Stickles on her hat/jacket trim, the birds’ hat trim and the snow; Clear Wink of Stella on the ribbons and bows; and Clear Star Gelly Pen on the polka dots on the present. Lots of sparkle since you can never have too much on a Christmas card! Lol!

Since my image was so detailed, I decided to keep my card fairly simple by adding a mini doily and some 3D ornament stickers. To “hang” my 3D ornaments, I added some Sliver Metallic Thread to both of them. Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones.

Fairy Christmas Wishes Card

Fairy Christmas Wishes Card - A Christmas Card with a Fairy and Squirrel holding presents
Fairy Christmas Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! It is Christmas in July! So, I am sharing my Fairy Christmas Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Molly’s Fairy Gift from Molly Fairy Christmas Bundle. This was one of the first images that I coloured as a Guest Design Team Member for Conie six years ago! I loved it and thought I would colour it again!

This bundle includes 8 images:

  • Image 7: Molly’s Christmas Stocking – without wings (JPG format)
  • Image 8: Molly’s Christmas Stocking – without wings (PNG format)

The Details of My Fairy Christmas Wishes Card

For my card, I decided to colour her in the traditional Christmas colours of red and green to match the beautiful White Christmas Papers by Mintay. So, I used my Copic markers to colour her and her little friend. Once that was done, I added Star Dust Stickles to all the white trim and Clear Wink of Stella to her wings.

I decided to use a quarter rounder punch on the corners of the mats and papers to add interest. Then, I used the Holly Flourish and die cut it in Mossy Meadow. I snipped it apart so that I could have the flourish peeking out at the top right and bottom left corners. I always love to have my flourishes peeking out and wrapping around the top layers!

Next, I used a paper poinsettia to balance the sentiment from Bauble Gnome and Sentiment Bundle. The silver snowflake layered behind my sentiment added some sparkle to my card.

Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones.

My Year of Wonder Card 

My Year of Wonder Card - a New years card with a wintery scene
My Year of Wonder Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Year of Wonder Card using the Light & Wonder Bundle from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I loved this suite and decided to create a New Years card for friends. So far, I have made three cards using this Suite including this one. At the end of this post, I have included the other two cards with further details about them. This beautiful Suite is on the Last Chance List! So, get it while you can!

The Details of My Year of Wonder Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline wintery scene card. I used both the large and small tree dies to frame my scene with that gorgeous DSP. I was inspired by a card that Stampin’ Up! had in their catty to use DSP for the snow. It gives it a snowy blue glow that you see sometimes in the winter.

Next, I embossed the sentiments in white on the Basic Black piece and die cut it with the “hilly” die. I made this piece the same width as my card front so that it fit the sentiment leaving enough space on either side of it without overcrowding it.

All this was adhered to a Blackberry Bliss mat with a Night of Navy card base.

As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Light & Wonder Bundle (165763)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283)

Paper: Night of Navy (100867), Blackberry Bliss (133675), Basic Black (121045), Lights of Aurora 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (165755)

My Season’s Eatings Card

My Season’s Eatings Card - A card with a gingerbread man tucked into a pocket
My Season’s Eatings Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! Happy New Year’s Eve! One last card for me from 2025! I am sharing My Season’s Eatings Card using the Gingerbread Man Bundle by Stampin’ Up! Love how it’s a card within a card!

The Details of My Season’s Eatings Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to create a pocket on the front in which to tuck my gingerbread man. So, I decided to create a fairly large pocket and have the corner turned down. Almost like he’s tucked into a bed!

The Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper was the perfect “bedding” for my gingerbread man with the wreath on one side and the holly on the other. I made this card for a swap, and the ornament DSP worked as well. The leftover strip was tucked into the corner to add interest when the gingerbread man was out of the pocket.

Many cards with the gingerbread man in a pocket
My Swap Cards

The Details of My Pocket

For the pocket, I measured 2” from the top-down on the right side of the Real Red card stock and marked it with a pencil. Then, I scored from the top left corner to the 2 “ mark creating a diagonal score. When I folded it back, the pencil mark was hidden.

Next, I measured 1-7/8” from the top-down on the left side of the DSP and marked it. This time, I cut from the top left to the mark to create a triangle. Then, I turned over the triangle so that the underside of the DSP was revealed. I used the Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the pocket along the sides and bottom. The pocket needed the strength since the gingerbread man would be pulled in and out. You could also use liquid glue.

The Gingerbread Man

The gingerbread man was embossed in white onto Pecan Pie and then die cut out. I love that you can change the different faces of the gingerbread man. So, I decided to go with him winking. I added a Real Red hat and Garden Green scarf. A couple of Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints were perfect for his buttons. I decided to decorate the inside by die cutting a Basic White gingerbread man, trimmed it down to fit on one side and stamped the sentiment in Real Red before adhering it inside.

To decorate the front, I added a die cut peppermint candy. The sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie and die cut with the largest flag die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Molly’s Pawfect Christmas Card

Molly’s Pawfect Christmas Card - a Christmas card with a puppy and little girl holding a poinsettia
Molly’s Pawfect Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Merry Christmas! It’s Laurie here with my last card for 2025! I am sharing my Molly’s Pawfect Christmas Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Molly with long ear dog from Molly’s Pawfect Christmas. This purchase includes 4 stamps:

  • Title 1: Molly’s Pawfect Christmas – long dog ears
  • Title 2: Molly’s Pawfect Christmas – without wagon – long dog ears
  • Title 3: Molly’s Pawfect Christmas – short dog ears
  • Title 4: Molly’s Pawfect Christmas – without wagon – short dog ears

Details of My Molly’s Pawfect Christmas Card

For my card, I coloured Molly and her sweet puppy with my Copic markers. I love the puppy all dressed up with antlers and a bell on his collar! Since I thought the puppy looked like mine, I decided to colour him to look like Jesse and I coloured Molly to look like me when I was little. I added Gold Gelly Roll Pen to the puppy’s bell on his collar and to the poinsettia’s centre. Then, I used Star Dust Stickles on the snow, Molly’ earmuffs, mitten trim and polka dots on her hair ribbons.

I decided to use the Merry Little Christmas papers since the snowflakes and poinsettia paper went so well with the image and my theme. 

To add even more sparkle to my card, I added a glimmery die cut snowflake border to the top with individually punched snowflakes scattered here and there. I even added glimmery snowflakes to the die cut mittens! The paper poinsettia was a perfect embellishment for my card and balanced the glimmery Real Red “merry” word die!

The finishing touch was to add some red rhinestones for even more sparkle! You can never have too much sparkle on a Christmas card! Lol!

Santa Centre-Step Card 

Santa Centre-Step Card a Christmas card with Santa and three reindeers
Santa Centre-Step Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Santa Centre-Step Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Santa Reindeer Friends from Santa And Reindeers Bundle. This Bundle includes 16 images (8 JPG & 8 PNG format images):

  • Title 1: Reindeer Flight
  • Title 2: Reindeer Bow
  • Title 3: Reindeer Scarf
  • Title 4: Santa Baby Reindeer
  • Title 5: Rudolph Flight
  • Title 6: Have A Merry Christmas Sentiment
  • Title 7: Reindeer Bell
  • Title 8: Santa Reindeer Friends

The Details of My Santa Centre-Step Card

For my card, I had planned to make a slimline card, but in the end, I decided to switch it up and created a large A7 centre-step card. I have included a file with the measurements for the A7 Horizontal Centre-Step Template at the end of this post. I also created another card using this Bundle and will included a link to that slimline card at the end as well.

Firstly, I coloured Santa and his friends with my Copic markers and added black noses using my Black Gelly Roll Pen leaving a small white showing for a highlight. I added Silver Gelly Roll Pen to the bells on the Baby Reindeer.

Then, I die cut them out with a stitched rectangle die and brushed Vintage Photo along the edges. I also did this with the sentiment that comes with the Bundle.

Side View of Card
Side View of Card

Secondly, it was time to build my card base. Since my card was so large, I made my side and bottom panels 1 ½” wide according to the measurements below in the template.

Then, it was time to decorate my card! I used the Santa Claus Lane Papers to match the colours that I used in my colouring. This Collection came with stickers. So, I added a red checked border along the bottom panel to add interest. I also used the matching “HO” banner from the ephemera pack.

For embellishments, I added some punched glimmer snowflakes and layered a silver and a clear snowflake on top of each other. I even had some cute felt mittens in my stash that were perfect to go on either side of my sentiment! The final embellishments were some matching Santa Claus Lane Enamel Dots from Echo Park.

Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card

Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card - a Christmas card with Doves and a pop-ip on the inside
Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card using elements from the beautiful Peaceful Garden Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by my team leaders to present two cards at a virtual play date. One was a simple card and then a stepped-up version. Today, I am sharing my stepped-up card, and I will add my other card at the end of this post.

The Details of My Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card

We were asked to Connect Four items in a chart for our stepped-up card for which I picked Holiday Card, Blues, Gatefold Card and Window Sheet.

Chart with choices to pick 4
Connect Four

Since I decided on Holiday Card and Blues as two of my choices, The Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper was perfect for both of my cards.

Front of My Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card

For the front of my card, like my simplified version, I stamped the Peace on Earth sentiment in Secret Sea and then brushed along the edges some Balmy Blue Ink with my Blending Brushes. I added some sparkle with the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper as a mat to my sentiment. However, for this card, I used an X-ACTO knife to add slits on either side of my sentiment to allow my ribbon to slide into the back and wrap around my card like a belly band. A Basic White dove was added just like in the simplified version.

Front of Card
Front of Card

Once my sentiment cluster was done, I folded my card according to the directions listed below in the Template. Then, I added the leafy DSP to each of the front panels. 

Inside of My Holiday Gatefold Pop-Up Card

Now for the inside where the magic happened! For my stepped-up version, I decided to create a fun pop-up when the card was opened. But first, I used the dove DSP for the two larger inside panels to mirror the die cut doves in my focal point. Next, I used the star DSP for the smaller panels around my focal point to create a night sky.

Top View of Card
Top View of Card

For my focal point, I embossed the Misty Moonlight card stock with the Peaceful Garden 3D Embossing Folder and die cut the centre out. I layered the window sheet behind this to create a window that allowed the star DSP to peek through between my doves and sentiment. This window was only popped up to create dimension, but it could easily have been made into a shaker element. This all was matted with a rectangle of the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. Next, I embossed my sentiment in silver and added it and the white doves over the window to create my focal point.

A small rectangle was added to the back of the centre panel for a message.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added a scattering of The Hues of Blue Flowers to the front of my card.

I am sharing My Simple Gatefold Card using elements from the beautiful Peaceful Garden Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by my team leaders to present two cards at a virtual play date. One was a simple card and then a stepped-up version. So, today, I am sharing my simplified card, and I will share my stepped-up version next week.

The Details of My Simple Gatefold Card

We were asked to Connect Four items in a chart for our stepped-up card, but the simple card did not have to include all items. So, I went with Up & Down which included Holiday Card, Blues, Gatefold Card for my simple version. I decided to save the window sheet for my stepped-up version.

Connect Four

Since I decided on Holiday Card and Blues as two of my choices, The Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper was perfect for my card! I have been wanting to play with this Suite again with its beautiful dove dies!

For the front of my card, I stamped the Peace on Earth sentiment in Secret Sea and then brushed along the edges some Balmy Blue Ink with my Blending Brushes. By adding the Balmy Blue, it made the die cut dove stand out from the sentiment.

Since this was a Christmas card, I just had to add some sparkle with the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper as a mat to my sentiment.

Once my sentiment cluster was done, I folded my card according to the directions listed below. Then, I added the leafy DSP to each of the front pieces. The sentiment cluster was adhered to the left panel on the front of the card.

My Reindeer Games Card

My Reindeer Games Card - a Christmas card with 3 reindeers playing in the North Pole
My Reindeer Games Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Reindeer Games Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Santa And Reindeers Bundle. This Bundle includes 16 images (8 JPG & 8 PNG format images):

  • Title 1: Reindeer Flight
  • Title 2: Reindeer Bow
  • Title 3: Reindeer Scarf
  • Title 4: Santa Baby Reindeer
  • Title 5: Rudolph Flight
  • Title 6: Have A Merry Christmas Sentiment
  • Title 7: Reindeer Bell
  • Title 8: Santa Reindeer Friends

The Details of My Reindeer Games Card

For my card, I decided to use three of the reindeer friends including Reindeer Flight, Reindeer Bow and Rudolph Flight to make a mini slimline North Pole scene card.

I coloured the stamps with my Copic markers and added black noses using my Black Gelly Roll Pen leaving a small white showing for a highlight. I added Glossy Accents to the bells and Star Dust Stickles to the bow.

Next, I coloured my MountainScape die cut with my Copic markers to create my scene. Most people don’t think about colouring their die cuts, but it really adds to them especially when you have different elements like a scene.

I love the Lights or Aurora Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! It looks awesome and created an easy night sky!

All the was left was to add a snow hill on which the reindeers could frolic!

Embrace the Magic Card

Embrace the Magic Card - a card with the Aurora borealis
Embrace the Magic Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Embrace the Magic Card using the Light & Wonder Bundle from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love this Suite and couldn’t resist using it for a shoebox swap.

The Details of My Embrace the Magic Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the beautiful Lights of Aurora DSP with that tree die! I saw an accordion card that inspired me to trim my DSP into strips instead of keeping it in one piece. Then, I matted it onto Basic Black card stock leaving a gap between the strips and a 1/8” border all around. Tip: adhere the end strips before adhering the centre one.

Once my DSP was down, I started to layer my scene with the Basic White snow caps and the Basic Gray mountains adhered directly to my DSP. I popped up the trees with the mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next, I embossed the sentiments in white. The Blackberry Bliss sentiment was fussy cut down to fit the letters, while the Basic Black sentiment was die cut using the largest flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I popped up all the sentiments with the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

All this was adhered to a Basic White mat and then to a Blackberry Bliss card base that was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Light & Wonder Bundle (165763), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283)

Paper: Blackberry Bliss (133675), Basic Black (121045), Basic White (166780), Basic Gray (121044), Lights of Aurora 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (165755)

My Jolly Delivery Card

My Jolly Delivery Card - A Christmas card with an owl delivering a letter a mailbox and a bear carrying presents.
My Jolly Delivery Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Jolly Delivery Card using the Jolly Delivery Bundle in the North Pole Delivery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I made two cards using this Suite Collection. This was a quick and easy card using the precut printed images in the DSP! I will post the other card at the end.

The Details of My Jolly Delivery Card

For my card, I thought I would create a fast card using the precut images in the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper. Quick and easy is the name of the game here! Lol!

The only stamping was the sentiment which I die cut using the Perennial Postage Dies. I decided to fussy cut one of the mailboxes from the DSP and used the bear and owl precuts.

Next, I tore the Basic White piece in half to create two snow layers that I used to tuck in my mailbox and ground my bear. I used the dotted DSP for my sky since I thought it looked like falling snow. All this was layered onto Basic White card stock that was die cut using the second largest Perennial Postage Die and then onto a Poppy Parade card base.

Finally, I added matching Dear Dots to finish off my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Jolly Delivery Bundle (165845), Perennial Postage Dies (162607)

Inks: Poppy Parade Classic Stampin’ Pad (147050), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Poppy Parade (119793), Basic White (166780), North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper (165837)

Accessories: Dear Dots (165848), Stampin’ Paper Trimmer (152392), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)

My Special Delivery Card

My Special Delivery Card -a Christmas card with a dog mailing a letter
My Special Delivery Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Special Delivery Card using the Jolly Delivery Bundle in the North Pole Delivery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I made two cards using this Suite Collection. This one was for a swap and the other one, which I will share at the end of this post, was a quick and easy card using the precut printed images in the DSP!

The Details of My Special Delivery Card

For my card, I thought that the Perennial Postage Dies would be perfect for my mail theme. I knew that I wanted to use the sweet puppy stamp for my card. So, I stamped him and the envelope in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White, and I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends to colour them up.

Next, I stamped the sentiment in black on the Basic White sentiment piece. Then, I stamped the circle stamp in Pool Party on the sentiment piece and on the Pool Party card stock.

Once that was done, I decided on the different pieces of DSP that I wanted to use. I went with the mailboxes for one and the subtle polka dot pattern to place behind my puppy. I figured that the pattern would not detract from my colouring. Then, I added a Poppy Parade mat to each of my pieces.

Finally, I layered my postage pieces and added some matching Dear Dots to finish off my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Jolly Delivery Bundle (165845), Perennial Postage Dies (162607)

Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (132708), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

‘Tis the Season Card 

‘Tis the Season Card - a Christmas card with a turkey in a gift box
‘Tis the Season Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my ‘Tis the Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Turkey in Gift Box from the Turkey Bundle. This Bundle includes 14 images:

  • Title 1 & 2: Turkey with Pie JPG/PNG
  • Title 3 & 4: Turkey with Gift JPG/PNG
  • Title 5 & 6: Turkey Walking JPG/PNG
  • Title 9 & 10: Turkey Christmas Tree JPG/PNG
  • Title 11 & 12: Turkey Candy Cane JPG/PNG
  • Title 13 & 14: Turkey in Gift Box JPG/PNG

The Details of My ‘Tis the Season Card

For my card, I decided to use Turkey in Gift Box  and make it into a Christmas card, but he can be used for different occasions like a birthday, Thanksgiving, etc. I coloured Turkey with Pie recently and made a Thanksgiving card. I will post a link to it at the end of this post. Love that these turkeys can cover so many different celebrations!

First, I coloured my Turkey in Gift Box with my Copic Markers and made his gift box with Christmas colours.

Once that was done, I decided to create a slimline card using the stackable Dotted Slimline Creative Dies by Studio Katia. Loved the stitching around the edge and on the inside window of the Real Red Textured card front.

I just bought the Holly Jolly 8” x 8” Scrapbooking Paper Pad by Mintay Papers. It has super cute images and I thought the elf hanging from the Christmas tree was so cute peeking through the opening. To match the Christmas tree in the paper, I used a Pine Branch Die by Impression Obsession and hung it at angle like a branch was poking out from the opening. This branch created a perfect backdrop for my sentiment. A white poinsettia with a Mossy Meadow holly leaf was added at the top to finish off the corner and highlight the sentiment.

I decided that the I needed to dress up the Real Red mat and went with Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflakes that I punched out with my Martha Stewart Punch. All this was added to a Mossy Meadow card base.

The finishing touches were to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle, Glossy Accents to his eyes and beak and Star Dust Stickles to his hat’s trim.

My Christmas Angel Card

My Christmas Angel Card  - a Christmas card with an angel holding a globe
My Christmas Angel Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Christmas Angel Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Angel of Christmas Stars

The Details of My Christmas Angel Card

For my card, I thought a shabby chic look would suit such a traditional stamp! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers in reds and greens and brushed my Vintage Photo Ink along the edges to give it an old-world look.

Once that was done, I used my Gold Gelly Roll Pen on the poinsettia centres and the trim on her dress. Next, I used Glossy Accents on the globe to give it a glass look. Finally, I added some glitter to her wings since all angels should have ethereal looking wings!

I love the beautiful Mintay papers especially the one with the poinsettias to match the angel’s poinsettias. I brushed Vintage Photo Ink onto the Mintay papers to give them the old-world look as well. Next, I tucked in a gold foil die-cut poinsettia cluster off to one side of my focal point to tie in my gold accents. 

For the sentiment, I printed out one of the many Christian sentiments from Volume 17 of Sassy’s Cards and Gifts. I then used my laminator to gold foil it and punched it out. Next, I brushed more Vintage Photo Ink to it to give it an old-world look. I then matted it with a Real Red die-cut stitched circle.

To balance the sentiment, I added on the opposite side, a corner sprig from the Mintay die-cuts that matched my paper. On top of that, I added a beautiful paper poinsettia with golden accents to tie in the angel’s poinsettias.

The finishing touch was to add some red rhinestones and gold glimmer dots around the sentiment for sparkle.

Hoping for Snow Card 

Hoping for Snow Card - a winter card with snowflakes and birds on it.
Hoping for Snow Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy New Year! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Hoping for Snow Card using the Frozen Edges Stamp & Die Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This Bundle has retired, but you can still get the dies. However today is the last day for the products that are retiring. So hurry so that you don’t miss out!

The Details of My Hoping for Snow Card

My card was for a swap with other demonstrators, and I thought a tri-fold window card with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper peeking through the die cut snowflake borders would be fun! I love this beautiful paper and am so glad that it is carrying over!

For my card, I took a 5 ½” x 8 ½” card base of Costal Cabana and scored the 8 ½” side at 4 ¼” just like any card. Then I trimmed it down to 8” and 6” to create 3 pieces of card stock. I discarded the smaller piece. Next, I die cut both remaining pieces to create the borders. I made sure to leave about a ¼” border at the top and bottom of the die cuts so that when placed on the Window Sheet, there was a good area for the glue.

Inside of Card
Inside of Card

Once that was done, I glued the two pieces to the Window Sheet leaving a gap for the DSP to show through.

For the sentiment, I silver embossed it on a piece of Basic White, added some Costal Cabana snowflakes and die cut it out with one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

Inside Message Area
Inside Message Area

For the inside, I created a tab on the DSP with a ¼” score so that it could be glued under the Basic White piece to hide the connection.

As a finishing touch to the front of my card, I used some die cut white glimmer snowflakes and a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some shine.

Supplies:
