This handmade Christmas card has been created using the new paper and die collection called Once Upon A Christmas from Creative Crafting World.

For this card design I have made a triple easel card that will fit into an 8″ by 8″ envelope.

Here is a tutorial on how I created this card.

8″ by 8″ White Card
6″ by 6″ White Card

White Card
Silver Gems

Cut a square from white card measuring 20.3 cms by 20.3 cms.
Choose two papers from the 8″ by 8″ paper kit.
Cut both papers to measure 20 cms by 20 cms.
Attach one paper to the white square and the other to the bottom of the 8″ by 8″ card base.
Next attach the white square to the front fold of the 8″ by 8″ card base.

Choose two papers from the 6″ by 6″ paper pad.
Cut both papers to measure 14.5 cms by 14.5 cms.

Cut two pieces from the coloured card measuring 9 cms by 9 cms.

Next attach the white square to the front fold of the 4″ by 4″ card base.

Next attach the 6″ by 6″ card base to the bottom of the 8″ by 8″ card base. Make sure that the 6″ by 6″ card does not over lap the front edge of the 8″ by 8″ card base.

Next attach the 4″ by 4″ card base to the 6″ by 6″ card base.

The back of the 6″ by 6″ card base will act as a stopper for the 8″ by 8″ card base and the back of the 4″ by 4″ card base will act as a stopper for the 6″ by 6″ card base.

Next using the smallest snowflake from the snowfall embellishment die collection, cut three matt layers out in a coloured card.
Then cut the snowflake out three times in white card.
Matt and layer them together and attach to the bottom of the 4″ by 4″ card base using foam pads to make a stopper for the card front.

Using the other three snowflake dies, cut the matt layers out in a coloured card.
Cut the snowflakes out in white card.
Matt and layer them together and decorate the card bases.

Choose a sentiment from the sentiments volume XVI die collection.
Cut the matt layer out in coloured card.
Then cut the sentiment out in white card.
Matt and layer together and attach to the 6″ by 6″ card base using foam pads.

To finish add silver gems to the center of the snowflakes.
