I combined the First Frost Stamp Set & Frosted Bouquet Framelits (the First Frost bundle) with a pretty print from the pack of All Is Bright Designer Paper to get this stunning Christmas card. You may remember this card from when I shared a glimpse of it on September 22nd in my First Frost DSP-Saver Card Video along with a bunch of other projects that I created with the First Frost Suite.
It’s really very easy to put together as long as you have the Big Shot die-cutting tool and the other supplies listed below. One pack of All Is Bright Paper includes two full 12×12 sheets of this design. Those two sheets would allow you to make 24 of this exact card. But there is another print in this pack of paper that is very similar as you can see below in the sampler. So really, you could get 48 Christmas cards from one pack. And if you love to add your photo to cards, add that to the left on the inside of your card. 🙂
Here are the measurements and directions.

- Real Red Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2” and folded in half for the card base

Directions:
- Die-cut the branches and leaves from the Gold Foil Sheets and Vellum Cardstock.
- Tie a small bow in the Real Red ribbon.
- Attach Very Vanilla Cardstock to the inside of the card with SNAIL Adhesive. Add the bow to a gold branch with a Glue Dot. Add the gold branch to the Very Vanilla layer using another Glue Dot behind the bow area.
- On the front of the card attach the designer paper on the left half with SNAIL Adhesive.
- Stamp sentiment, and die-cut with smaller frame die.
- Die-cut Early Espresso Cardstock with larger frame die.
- Adhere the sentiment to the Early Espresso frame piece.
- Cut one of the remaining two branch die-cuts into two pieces. Do the same with one of the sets of leaves.
- Then add lots of SNAIL Adhesive to the back of the layered sentiment piece and attach the branches and leaves so they come out from the behind the right side.
- Add Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment piece (which will help hold the branch and leaf pieces), and attach to the front of the card.
Super simple, yet stunning.
