Hello friends! I am officially finished making Christmas cards for the year! Yay! Before I start working on the highly requested craft room tour video, I just had to use Doodlebug Design’s newest collection, Winter Wonderland. It is absolutely adorable! I love the colors and all the sweet designs.
I did pick up the Icons cardstock stickers and Odd & Ends ephemera pack. The stickers have touches of glitter which is really pretty and perfect for winter cards. The ephemera pack includes 137 pieces and I probably didn’t even use half of it. Lots of critters, snowflakes, and other items that can be used to create a winter scene.
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 under 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 14 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Candy Necklace – Bazzill
Berry Pretty – Bazzill
Boysenberry – Coredinations
Dark pink – unknown
Blue – unknown
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 Winter Wonderland 6×6 paper pad.

Very sweet set of cards Kristie – thank you ♥
Oh, these are delightful, Kristie. I think this is going to be one very popular paper pad and I am so excited that mine just arrived on my doorstep! Thank you for creating such adorable cards using it. Lots of inspiration. Thank you so much for working so hard to create them so quickly. Hugs!

i would like to know what are some of your go to colors in the Love from Lizi peel offs. i would like to order all her colors but, alas, have to start with the basics.
i always enjoy watching your videos;they especially inspire me to dig into my hoards of pattern paper and create beautiful cards,without a lot of technique supplies. thanks for sharing your talents!
Super cute Doodlebug–so I just had to buy it! I LOVE all the scenes you made and how you altered the OWH 192 with the ephemera. Such pretty colors (purple!) You did a wonderful job with your sketches. I can't say enough good things about your cards–they all made me smile! Thank you. Have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks, Jeanne! I think you are right about this being a popular paper collection. It's simply adorable! Glad you were able to buy one. 🙂
Thank you! I really enjoyed this adorable paper collection. 🙂
Thank you for your kindness and support. New techniques are always fun. But I really prefer sticking with the basics. Paper, stamps, dies, and of course, peel offs. 🙂 As far as my favorite peel offs. Hmmm…. that's tough since I do own every color. Gold and silver are always great colors to have on hand since they will match with a lot. I use the clear silver mirror style a lot. I also tend to use the mirror style a bit more than the glitter style. Lizi sells quite a few 4-pack bundles that are a bit cheaper than if purchased individually. If you make a lot of Christmas cards, reds and greens are nice. If you make a lot of fall cards, the browns and coppers are perfect. I also use the pinstripe peel offs way more than her other styles. But all are fun. 🙂
The second I saw the Winter Wonderland collection, I knew I HAD to HAVE it. I have a few other winter paper pads, but DB had to be first. Lol! Thank you for all your kind words! Merriest of holidays to you! 🙂
Hi there! Can you tell me how it is to use the Tape Glider? I have some tendonitis in my wrists and elbows so the older I get the more I look for lightweight tools to make crafting easier, as long as it doesn't tax my hands. Your thoughts?
I love, love, love your videos. You've inspired me to make cards and I get so many compliments. Thank you. Question: How do you use the quilt die cover up? I know you are using the smaller paper pieces but I can't visualize how you are putting the paper under the die before you run it through your die cut machine.
I found your tutorial for the quilt cover up due. Thank you for posting it. It explained how to use it very carefully. It's more time consuming than it appears in your videos because "poof" the pieces are there.
Hello! I love using the Scotch ATG. I actually have minor tendonitis in both my wrists as well, and don't have any problems using it. My 10 year old daughter can even use it just fine. If you know someone that has one and can try it out first, that would be helpful. Or if you have a local craft store nearby, they may have one you can try.
I'm so glad you found the video where I show how I use the quilt die with paper scraps. It is quite a bit of extra work, especially when using the small leftover pattern paper. I have actually purchased a second quilt die just to make the cutting process go a bit faster. I love the look of the finished cards so much. It's worth the extra time. 🙂
