Supply List:
- Cricut Cutting Machine
- Layered Christmas Card in CDS
- Cardstock (white, light blue, dark blue)
- Foam Dots
- A2 Envelopes
Cricut Design Space:
Open the Layered Christmas Card in Cricut Design Space.
The file is sized to create an A2 sized card that is 4.25 x 5.5 inches when folded in half.
Follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space to cut 3 mats with 3 different colors of cardstock; white, light blue, and dark blue.
Here are the different layers cut out.
Assembly:
Start with the light blue piece.
Lay the piece facing down so the snowman is to the left of the tree. Apply foam dots to the corners, snowman, and tree trunk.
Remove the paper backing to the foam dots and apply the dark blue piece, centering it on the light blue piece.
Turn the pieces over so the dark blue is on the bottom and the snowman is to the right of the tree.
Apply more foam dots around the edges of the snowman piece.
Remove the foam dots paper backing and carefully center the open window of the white card base over the winter scene.
That's all there is to it! I told you it was super easy!
Write your heartfelt message inside and the card is ready to be dropped off in the mailbox.
If you are mailing your greeting cards, get them to the post office by December 15 so they'll be delivered by Christmas!

The card is stunning! I have always enjoyed receiving hand made cards for any occasion. Hopefully soon (when we get our new house built) I will have the time and the space to make such creations myself! Thanks so much for the tutorial!
