Welcome to Day 6 of my Christmas Card Feature. (If you missed the previous posts in this series, you’ll find them here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5.)
My apologies - I’m a little behind schedule – courtesy of some unfortunate person crashing their car into the substation that supplies power to my street – resulting in us being without electricity for an extended period. (I certainly hope the person involved is uninjured, the car certainly was a mess.)
Anyway, onto the card. This card took approx. 10 minutes to put together. I like this one because there’s some different colours (blues and browns) creeping in there. I’m a little over red, green and gold right now! If you’d like to have a go at reproducing the card, a supply list follows.
Supply List
- Two strips of cardstock – 2cm high x 15cm
- One strip of striped patterned paper 1.5cm high x 15cm wide
- Scalloped Edge Punch
- Three cardstock triangles in green (for tree foliage)
- Three cardstock scraps in brown (for tree trunks)
- Lettering (for greeting) – the font I’ve used is one commonly found on Windows systems – Accord Heavy SF Bold
- 4 x flower gems
- 1 x star gem
I’ll be posting today’s Christmas card later on this afternoon in an effort to catch up.

I have only just found your site. I just love the chatty way you write.
I notice you have a cuttlebug and robocraft(i think u call it that). I am just about to buy a sizzix and have been told two stories that is can cut cuttle bug dies and others say no… do you know anything about that?
cheers

Hi Karen. I’m probably more “chatty” online than I am in real life..and yes you’re right…I’m a little ashamed to admit that I own a Cuttlebug, a Craft Robo, a Sizzix machine (the early original version)…AND a Cricut. I know a little bit about each of them, so I’m happy to share my experience where possible.
I think I’ll answer your specific question in a blog post…although I would really have to know which Sizzix model you’re intending to buy.
Hi
I have just bought a Cuttlebug, having owned a Cricut for 18 months I’ve just discovered embossing! Anyway, I’m looking at a Large Die A2 with 4 designs and was wondering if you know whether each design would be A2 sized, or if there would be 1 big die with 4 small shapes on it?THanks
Hi Michelle,
Ah yes embossing can be quite addictive.
As to your question, without knowing exactly which die you’ve purchased I can’t say for sure. I would be suspecting that there may be 4 designs on the A2 size.
With Combo sets, you get an A2 embossing folder and an A2 sized die which usually have a number of designs on the A2 area. With the Tag Team sets you get a 3″ x 3″ die and four 3&3/4″ embossing folders.
I hope some of that helps. Happy embossing.
