I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special.
Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight.
Gather these supplies:
Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
Twine or thin ribbon
Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

This kit to go includes supplies to make 20 cards with envelopes! You'll make 5 of each card and you'll receive the beautiful box as well.
Click here to order yours while supplies last; there's a limited supply!
You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately after payment and the kit ships separately from other kits via Priority Mail.
It's $25 and includes all pre-cut & punched pieces, 20 envelopes (10 green & 10 White), sparkly gems, Dimensionals, mini glue dots, Red Twine & ribbon and the PDF tutorial. It does not include stamped images.
You will need the following to complete the cards like mine:
Shaded Spruce & Black ink & Christmas greeting images
adhesive, a paper trimmer, Red, colored or clear rhinestones
I used the Heartfelt Wishes & stamps in the original PP kit on my cards but I'm sure you have greeting you can easily substitute.
The top two cards feature the Tidings & Trimmings bundle & the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP. Both are in a suite seen in the annual catalog on pages 88-89 or here.
The bottom two cards feature the new Eden's Garden stamp set & the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. See them both here.
Measurements:
Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line.
Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" to leave a space between like the card on the lower left)
White inside layer 3 1/2" square
Do you see the difference in the two cards below? Note the space between the designer paper squares on the left card. The DSP squares on the left are 1 3/4" in size. The DSP on the right card are 1 7/8" in size so they have no space in between.
*If you love this stamp set & Designer Paper you should get it this month. I'm giving away a free cards kit with online orders this month plus a PDF tutorial with 22 projects! See details below.

Check out this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live. It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!
The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set. To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here. They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width.
Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.
