How to Make Into the Woods Handmade Christmas Cards

Create beautiful handmade Christmas cards with the Cricut to give your friends and family this holiday season. An easy DIY craft tutorial idea. 

Do you make handmade Christmas Cards to give to friends and family? It is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I hope by sending cards that I touched and made with my own two hands I am showing how much I love and care for all of those wonderful people in my life.

This year for my holiday cards I found a super cute file in Cricut Design Space all I had to do was cut and assemble. The file is called Into the Woods Holiday Card, and it is really so easy to recreate. It is intended as a print and cut file, but I used a solid color of cardstock on the back, instead of the printed version and I absolutely love how it turned out.

Supplies Used: Some links may be too similar items when exact items couldn’t be found online.

• Cricut Explore
• Into the Woods Holiday Card file
• Cardstock (white, light blue, dark blue)
• Foam Dots

Here are the different layers cut out. The Cricut will cut out the white and light blue pieces. I cut the dark blue piece to 5 1/4 x 4 7/8 inches.

Start with the light blue piece. Have the piece facing down so the snowman is to the left of the tree and apply foam dots to the corners, as well as on the 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 only of the piece.

Remove the paper backing of the foam dots 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 cards, make sure to get them in the mailbox by December 15 so they’ll be delivered by Christmas!
