31 Days of Christmas Cards Day #24 - Dimensional Wreath Card

Today is day 24 of the 31 days of Christmas Cards video series! In today’s video I will show you how to make this pretty wreath card. 


This card was so much fun to make. I used a brand new stamp set and Thin Cuts die called Merry Borders that will be released on November 1, 2020 in addition to some images from the Flower Market Cricut collection. Watch the video above to see how I made it.

31 Days of Christmas Cards Day #3 - Comfort & Joy Slimline Card and Envelope Template

As part of the 31 Days of Christmas video collaboration with the Creative Design Team this month, we will be sharing a new Christmas card(s) everyday. I will be sharing my card designs on Saturdays this month, but be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team’s cards every other day.

I created this slimline card using the Comfort & Joy papers and Cricut Collection. Believe it or not, this is the very first slimline card that I have ever made. I was hesitant to try one because I didn’t have any envelopes for them. So I decided to create my own envelope template in Design Space so that I will always be able to make a quick coordinating envelope. Here is a link to the Design Space file if you'd like to make one too. (It also includes a liner, and a template for a 3½" x 8½" card base.) 


The background was created using the smooshing technique with Distress Oxide Ink. You can see how I created it in the video above. 


I stamped the sentiment using the Floral Alphabet stamp set. I initially thought of this set as more “springy” but then thought if I colored the flowers red, they may look a little like Christmas poinsettias. I used the Dark Red Tri-blend marker for the flowers and the Dull Green Tri-blend marker for the leaves.
