Hi there crafty friends, it’s Cheiron Brandon here and I have a fun Christmas card to share with you today. I love to make batches of cards to mail out but I also like to make some very special cards to put in packages or to give in person, especially when it involves shimmer and sparkle. Today I am playing with one of my favorite holiday combos of navy, gold and white using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Trim A Tree and Christmas Cutouts dies.

To create this card, I cut a panel of Simon Says Stamp Soft Navy Cardstock 3 7/8 X 8 3/8. Then I cut all the Tree pieces from the Trim A Tree dies from Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I punched all the small inside pieces out from the die cuts and then curled the edges of the trees up and adhered them all together. Once the tree was assembled, I cut the star from the Trim A Tree dies and the Joy and the small cluster of stars from the Christmas Cutouts from Sizzix Gold Glitter Paper.

Once my dies were all cut out, I cut a snowy hill to fit the width of my card using the Simon Says Stamp Slimline Snowflakes dies. I added it to the bottom of the Soft Navy Panel, then added the Joy letters. I added the tree onto the snowy hill and then added the large gold star from Trim a Tree with foam tape. I added all of the tiny stars I cut from the Christmas cutouts around the tree. To create snow, I tool a medium point Posca marker and added some dots between the stars. To finish the card and make it really shine, I added a bunch of gold Metallic Droplets as ornaments.

I hope you had fun creating this card with me! It is really easy to do and you could make several in a day if you wanted to by doing each step in an assembly line! Wishing each and every one of you a very happy holiday season!

Wow!!!!! Stunning card!!!!!
Stunning in its elegant simplicity! I purchased the tree at a recent craft store sale and have the Christmas cutouts. Now to recreate and use Stickles for tree ornaments for mailing purposes.
