Hello friends! I received so many requests to use Doodlebug’s new Christmas Magic collection. Their collections are always adorable, so I couldn’t resist. I really like all the non-traditional Christmas colors included in the paper pad. It seems like a lot of companies have decided to use more non-traditional colors this year.
I make a lot of Christmas cards every year. Many will be donated, but I also mail out quite a few to friends and family. I realized many of the cards I’ve made are on the thicker side. So for this set of cards, I really tried to keep them fairly flat. I don’t want to have to pay too much more for postage.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 25 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 around 4 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 –
Darice – Jolly Green
American Crafts – Weave
Pink – unknown
Bazzill – Ocean Oasis
Red – unknown
Kraft – unknown
Specialty Cardstock by Tonic Studios
Mirror Card – Gold Pearl
Mirror Card – Holo Waves
Mirror Card – Frosted Silver
I did end up with 30 of the tiny tags from the pattern paper. I decided not to include them on the rest of the cards and will be using them as Christmas tags on gifts.
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 Doodlebug Design’s Christmas Magic 6×6 paper pad.
