Create 20 Chrismtas Cards in One Night

Can you believe that I made all 20 of these Christmas Cards in one night? Yep, I did. How cool is it to have all your friends and family received different cards from you this Christmas. And I didn't use any stamps, other embellishments or fancy tools for these cards. All the stickers, alphabets, flowers and ribbons are from this Page Kit. The only thing that is not included in this kit is the 8.5" x 11" cream cardstock.


List of supplies and tools for this project:

Cardstock and Paper
- Gazebo Memory Building Page Kit by Chatterbox
- 20 8.5" x 11" cream cardstock

Tools:
- Paper trimmer
- Scissor
- Tapes
































































































































































































Instruction:

1. First, follow the dimensions below and cut 4 of 12" x 12" paper each. So you will have

• 20 of A with 3.5" x 8.5" dimension
  
• 24 of B with 1.75" x 8.5" dimension
  
• 16 of C with 0.75" x 8.5" dimension
• 8 of D with 3.5" x 3.5" dimension

2. Then cut 2 pieces of B with dimension of 0.75" x 8.5" dimension. Now you should have 20 of A and 22 of B and 20 of C.

3. Now you can take 20 of A, B and C to assemble 20 cards. Each card will need one each of A, B and C. Make sure you lay out all 20 combination first before tape it down to the card. It's much easier to switch them now than with tape in the back. Also, remember that these paper are double-sided, so you can flip them over if you think the pattern is too busy. You see, there are just so many different possibilities with these. You will start tape B at the bottom of the card, A at the top of the card and then C to cover the gap between A and B.

4. Cut the ribbons came with the kit to 5" long. Tie a knot and tape them to the bottom of the cards.

5. Use the alphabet stickers came with the kit, make 2 cards with title "joy", 2 cards with "noel" and 1 card with "peace".




































6. Download (right click on the image and select "Save Image As...") the 2 images above, and print them on the D (3.5" x 3.5") paper. Make sure you adjust the print size to 3.5" x 3.5". If you have problem print them out on 3.5" x 3.5", you can tape them to a larger piece of paper and them peel them off after printing. Trim them down and use them as titles for the rest of 15 cards. Use brads that came with the kit to attached to the titles.

7. Use stickers and flowers that came with the kit to embellish the cards. Voila, here are 20 homemade Christmas Cards!

Shining Star Christmas Card

Here is the list of supplies and tools you will need to make this card:

Die Set(s):

Instruction:
1. I used the largest star die from Star 5 die set to cut and emboss the star. Then I used the 2nd largest die to cut out the inside of star. To ensure that the die does not move while I was cutting, I use a very small piece of scotch tape to tape 2 corners of star and then remove the tape carefully after cutting. Now you have a silver star frame. Don't throw away the smaller star. I will show you another card make of the smaller star in the next couple of days.

2. I used the star frame as the template to mark on the white card stock on where I wanted to do the horizontal cut and also the triangle cut.

3. I used paper trimmer to make the horizontal cut and then used a pair scissors to cut the triangle out.

4. I attached the star onto the white card stock.

5. I stamped the 'tis the season on a red card stock and used a silver pen to add some shadow to the stamped image to make it stand out more.
