Hello friends! I know I’ve already posted quite a few Christmas videos. And I will be switching to general winter cards soon. But I still need more Christmas cards. I aim for around 300 cards every year. About half for donation and the rest to personally send out. I used Carta Bella’s Christmas Market collection next. I decided not to purchase the ephemera pack even though it’s really lovely. Instead, I used several sentiment stamp sets. I really enjoyed the traditional colors in this paper pad with just a touch of black and gray. The designs have more of a vintage look to them.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 31 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a 6×6 paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was just over 5 1/2 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 7 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 7 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Bazzill – Avocado
Bazzill – Glass Slipper
Coredinations – Sandable Scarlet
Recollections – Black
Specialty Cardstock by Tonic Studios
Spring Silver – Mirror Card
Scarlet Organza – Mirror Card
Ivory Sheen – Pearlescent Card
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. I also included some sketches by Queen & Company that were designed to work with their Foundation die sets. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Carta Bella’s Christmas Market 6×6 paper pad.

Gorgeous cards!
I hope there will be Doodlebug's Christmas Magic & Winter Wonderland 6×6 videos coming. 🙂
Lovely cards, Kristie. That's a pretty paper pad and you've done a wonderful job with it. I'll bet you would do wonders with the Doodlebug pads Sanna mentioned in her comment. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
WOW!! i am so impressed with your using all of a paper pad and with all your cards 🙂 i have yet to finish a 6×6 pad ………….. might give this a try 🙂 thanks!!
These are all fabulous, as always! So glad you could join me for Mojo Monday!
There are never too many Christmas paper videos! I love that truck paper! You always have the best sentiment stamps. Your new lighting set up is great–did you get softboxes or change the setup (or both)?
Thank you! Sorry, I'm a bit behind on replying to comments. But yes to both Doodlebug videos. Christmas Magic is already posted. Such a cute collection. 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne! The Christmas Market paper collection has been one of my favorites this year. The Christmas Doodlebug video is already posted and the winter wonderland is on my to-do-video list. 🙂
Aw, thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I love finishing off a 6×6 paper pad before starting a new one. 🙂
Thank you so much, Julee! I look forward to adding all your sketches to my sketch library. 🙂
Good thing most people are happy about so many Christmas videos. I feel like I've made a lot this year. Lol! For my lights, I have changed the set up multiple times, but it didn't seem to help. I ended up purchasing actual video lights and placing them off to the side of my craft table on the ceiling, instead of directly over it. I do still need at least one more though since I'm getting some shadows.
