1- Begin by cutting the Row of Houses Die Cut in half at the tip of the center tree. Use the Red & Blue House Half for this card, save the other half for card #5. 

Adhere the Small Tree Die Cut behind the cut tree on the left. This will make it a full looking tree.


2- Stamp the dot pattern in Real Red ink along the edge of the Real Red piece. Add this to the front of the cardbase.


3- Add the Floral Vellum piece to the left of the cardbase with adhesive placed underneath the area that will be covered by the other elements.

4- Add the houses to the right side of the card with the edge of the blue house lining up with the edge of the Real Red piece. I used adhesive on the right side, but dimensionals on the left.




5- Place the ¼” strip of Old Olive along the bottom edge of the houses piece. This will make a nice transition from the bottom of the houses to the cardbase. Angle the ends to match the Glitter Strip.


6- Cut the Wreath from one of the envelopes with the 1 ¾” circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Add it to the left side of the card, in the open area under the tree, with dimensionals.


7- Cut the Glitter Strip in half lengthwise just under ½” so both sides are the same width. Add one over the Old Olive strip with dimensionals.


8- Stamp your greeting in VersaMark on Night of Navy cardstock. Make sure to use an Embossing Buddy before stamping. Cover with White Embossing Powder, remove excess, and heat until shinny with a Heat Tool. Trim down to about ½” and angle the ends to match the Gitter Strip. Add over the Glitter Strip.

9- Outline the bow from the Wreath in Glitter Glue.

All Done!

1- Begin by stamping the dot pattern in Mossy Meadow or Old Olive ink about ¼” from the edge of the cardbase. I didn’t stamp on the edge because I wanted just a hint of texture in the back.


2- Layer the Soft Sea Foam piece in the center at an angle.

3- Add the Stripe Vellum piece on top at an opposing angle. Place the adhesive in an area that will be covered by the other elements.


4- Cut out a large 3” Circle from Balmy Blue Cardstock. Add a little darker ink along the outside edge, with a Blending Brush and Night of Navy ink.


5- Cut from the Two House Die Cut the same size circle. Make sure both houses are inside the circle. Save the two tree on the right side that did not make it in the circle. We will be using these for card #5.


Layer the Houses over the circle matching the sides.


6- Add this to the center bottom left area of the cardbase with dimensionals.


7- On some scrap white piece from the kit, stamp your greetings in Real Red. I used both the “Merry Christmas” and “Wonder & Joy”. Fussy cut out the words you want. Add with some on the circle and some off near the bottom of the card. Use dimensionals as needed.


8- Fold the Real Red Ribbon in half and adhere to the top right corner of the cardbase. Tie the White Baker’s Twine around the ribbon and make a bow. Trim the ends to an angle.

9- Add Glitter Glue to the roofs.

All Done!
