For this week’s Online Paper Crafting Class I’ll be once again “dividing to multiply.” I’ll use just one pack of the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes (a pack of 9) to make 36 cards! So I guess you could say I’m quadrupling the amount of cards. If you are looking to make lots of pretty Christmas cards quickly, check out what I have to share today.
The Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes are stunning as you will see. These along with the Joyful Ephemera packs debuted when the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog was released on September 4. So I purchased them and came up with a way to cut the cards & envelopes into “designer paper layers.” Then I added these to Basic White Cardstock bases and decorated by adding the ephemera pieces and some embellishments.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to make these quick (yet stunning!) Christmas cards with these Gold Dipped Cards/Envelopes and a 1/2 pack each of the Joyful Sayings and Joyful Images Ephemera. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
FYI…the last 10 minutes were cut off due to some unknown technology glitch. (Grrr…right?) But basically I was just showing off the remainder of the cards in the same order as you will see in the photos below. And there is no time to fix it because I’m heading out of town. Sorry everyone.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements to make all 36…
- Basic White Cardstock
- (36) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
- Gold Dipped Cards
- From each card cut a ¾” x 8-1/2” strip to get nine strips
- Then from each card cut in half to get two 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” pieces (18 altogether – 6 of each color)
- Gold Dipped Envelopes
- Cut 1/16” off the sides of each envelope to open them all up. Then cut the white half from the rest and trim each of these down to 5-1/2” wide (9 altogether)
- Then cut the main full section to 4-1/4” deep x almost 6-1/2” wide. Trim this into two pieces to get one that is 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” and one that is 7/8” x 4-1/4” (9 of each altogether – 3 of each color)
- Finally trim the flaps down to 1-7/8” x 5-1/2 (9 altogether – 3 of each color)
Here are images to help remind you how to cut the cards and envelopes to get all the layers.
And now I present photos of the 36 cards I just shared in my video!
Crazy amazing!! I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

Oops! Too much to demo and talk about. Hard to get 36 cards in a hour. Your photos are great and will help to create these simple but elegant cards. Thanks for another fun tutorial.
Hahahaa! Love it. Thanks for the giggle, Lori Jane. I only had 10 minutes left. Oh well.
