Its that time of the year, where the air becomes chilled and the fleece comes out from the closet. That is right, winter is around the corner and in Los Angeles people are decorating to celebrate with colorful lights and different trees. This year I decided to do a Christmas card, I have not done one in the past where I literally thought of while looking at a die. I, and I do not have this accomplished and proud feeling much, am very happy with how the card turned out. Below are the measurements and materials if you would like to create the card yourself.
The Paper Selection
Note: the measurements are Height by Width
Recollections (Michaels Craft Store)
Craft Cardstock ( Labeled #1)
8' by 6'
Folded in half to create the base of the card.
8' 1/4" by 8' 1/4"
Using the WeRMemory Keeper Envelope Punch Board I made an envelope for the 4' by 6' card.
White Cardstock (Labeled #2)
3' 3/4" by 5' 3/4"
White Cardstock (Labeled #4)
3' 3/4" by 4' 3/4"
3' 3/4" by 4' 3/4"
I used the die at the far left of the card, once sliced the white cardstock's measurement came down to 4' 1/2".
Craft Smith Olde Time Christmas Paper Pad (Michaels Craft Store)
3' 3/4" by 5' 3/4"
I used 4 12 by 12 pages form this pad. This pad contained textured pattern paper ( Labeled #5). I was able to get 6 layer sheets per sheet. I made 12 cards but alternated the two patterns.

Dollar Tree JOT Metallic Sheets (Labeled #3)
2' by 1' 3/4"
The sheet used was 2' 1/2" by 12'. but the die measured the above size. This cutout will be used a seal since I thought it would be a nice touch. :)
Materials
Poinsettia Die was purchased as s set from Amazon. The Die, for me, required some shimming on my Cuttlebug and had to run it through a few times, so keep this in mind. (Labeled #6)
Deer Head Die is from the Hampton Art collection from Michaels Craft Store. I was not able to locate this set on their website so I cannot link to it. This was purchased around 2016-2017.
The Red Stamped images on cardstock labeled #2 is from the My Monthly Hero November 2017 set.
The Red Ribbon was from my mom's crafting collection, so I don't really know where or the brand she bought this from. Sorry lol
Pearl Sheet from Recollections at Michaels Craft Store
WeRMemory Keeper Envelope Punch Board purchased on Amazon
Hope this card helped inspired you to make a holiday card or for any occasion. I am extremely happy with how this card came out in the end.
