Good morning
Three more Christmas cards today. I will be making one more video after this one for Christmas cards and that will be it for Christmas cards this year.
I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas cards and have given some of them a try. They are mostly simple designs and would look great in any Christmas papers you might have in your stash.
Once again I have videoed the process while I made these cards and you can see the video here.
These are the cards I want to show you today
I have used the DCWV Merry & Bright paper pad that I have been using for all of my Christmas cards this year and all of the cards have a 5 1/4" square white card base cut from sheets of white cardstock.
All of the papers and embellishments have had their edges inked with a black ink pad.
Let's start with this card.
This is a double Z fold card. The base card was scored at 2 5/8" and 5 1/4". The first score is a mountain fold and the second is a valley fold.
The top Z was cut to 9 1/2" x 3 1/2" and also scored at 2 5/8" and 5 1/4". The first score is a valley fold and the second is a mountain fold
I chose a patterned paper (White and Gold) and cut 1 piece 5" square and 2 pieces 2 3/8" x 5". These were attached to the 3 top areas when the card is fully opened.
From the second patterned paper (Pink) I cut 1 piece 4" x 3 1/4", 2 pieces 2 3/8" x 3 1/4" and one piece 3 1/2" x 2 3/4"
The largest piece and the two smallest pieces were attached to the top of the smaller z folded card. Be sure to have the largest section to the left when attaching these papers.
I cut a piece of a third patterned paper (Black) 3 3/4" x 3" and attached that on top of the largest pink piece.
The last piece of pink patterned paper was then attached on top of the black patterned paper.
I used a Christmas tree die and cut three Christmas trees from Gold cardstock. Two of these were attached to the front of the card and the third was attached to the first inside panel of the smaller Z fold cardstock. I used glue to attach these embellishments.
I cut a piece of white cardstock 1 7/8" x 2 3/4" and attached that to the last inside panel so I would have a place to write my personal greeting.
The Greeting on the outside of the card was cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs 745 Merry Christmas die and black cardstock. This was attached at the bottom of the card using glue.
I cut the first patterned paper (Black) to 5" square and the second patterned paper (Pink) to 4 1/4" square. I also cut two pieces of white cardstock, one was 4 1/2" square and the other was 3 3/4" square.
To make the stars I used the fourth smallest die from the Nellie's Multi Frame Star Die set, and cut 12 stars in assorted patterned papers.
All for the patterned papers and white cardstock were layered on top of each other in decreasing order and then the stars were arranged in a wreath shape on the top.
The greeting uses the same die as the previous card but this time I cut it with gold cardstock, attached it to a piece of white cardstock and matted that onto some of the black patterned paper that I had used in the layers.
Foam squares were used to attach the greeting in the top left section of the card front.
It was back to Christmas trees to embellish this last card. It has a front circle overlap, short of a gate fold card but not really.
I have chosen three patterned papers for this card, although you can only see two. The third one is on the inside of the card and does the same job as the main patterned paper (Pink) on the front.
From the first patterned paper I cut a 5" square and the second largest circle from Spellbinders Standard Large Circles die set. I cut exactly the same from the second patterned paper to use inside the card.
The third patterned paper (Black) was cut to 2 3/4" x 5"
I cut some white cardstock 3" x 5 1/4"to mat the black patterned paper and the largest of the circles from the Spellbinders Standard Large Circles set.
Both patterned paper circles were attached, one each side, of the white circle and a score line was added about 1/2" in from the edge. This was folded in and attached to the inside right hand edge of the card base using glue. The 5" square piece of patterned paper two was attached over the top of the join to disguise it.
An embossing folder was used to emboss a Christmas tree pattern on some gold cardstock. I am not sure what brand the embossing folder is, it came in a set I think and I have thrown the packaging away. I fussy cut around the edge of the tree and matted it on some white cardstock so it would stand out more against the patterned paper.
To assemble the front of the card I attached the 5" square pice of patterned paper then the white cardstock so it was approximately 1/2" from the left hand edge of the card and then the black patterned paper on top of that. Next the embossed Christmas tree was attached on top of the black.
The two Christmas tree embellishments on the circle were cut using a die and black gloss cardstock and attached using glue.
The same Merry Christmas greeting that I used on the previous cards was attached to the inside of the card to finish this card off.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my cards today. If you want more details you can check out the video here.
Thanks for spending your time here with me today
Till next time

I had a change from Christmas trees to stars for embellishments for the next card
