If you’re planning on making your own Christmas cards, you need to get started. You have ten weeks from today. But there’s no need to panic – there are plenty of products from Stampin’ Up! that make your cards easy to produce. Here’s one example that you can easily mass produce.

Details:

Base: 8.5″ by 5.5″ Night of Navy

Top layer: 4″ by 5.25″ Night of Navy

Other: Stampin’ Up! Lucky Stars TIEF, Expressions Thinlits Dies (retired), Silver foil sheets, silver sharpie, Backgrounds DSP

You can easily make a mass of these. Cut your A4 paper in two and score and fold it. Make your smaller mat and run it through the big shot in the Lucky Stars TIEF. Then you cut the Merry out of the silver foil sheet. Don’t forget to use waxed paper in between the silver foil and the die to cut the Merry – it makes it so much easier to release the foil from the die. If you don’t have the thinlits dies – go directly to the Clearance Rack, do not pass go, and buy this set! At $14.99 for three dies saying Merry, Love and Thankful, it’s a great buy. After you adhere the Merry to the card, colour some stars in silver. I finished it off in the usual way by lining the envelope using the Stampin’ Up! envelope framelit dies and the Background DSP in Night of Navy.
