Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing easy to make trifold Christmas cards with the help of die cutting. I’ve done mine in classic white Christmas colors – lots of white space and just hints of rose gold accents but these cards, of course, can be done in any color combination you like.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

As always, I filmed a video tutorial showing how to create this project from start to finish. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy it. Watch it below or on my Youtube channel.

AMAZING PAPER GRACE DIE OF THE MONTH

I used a special die set to create this trifold card design. Not every die out there is going to work for this idea so you might have to do some searching in your stash to see if you have a die that could work for this if you don’t have this specific die. The die that I am using today is a brand new Amazing Paper Grace November Die of the Month Club die from Spellbinders. It’s a part of a new subscription Club from Spellbinders that just launched this month. I have shared some videos featuring Spellbinders Club dies in the past and I’m telling you guys – they just keep getting better and better! This particular one is designed by Becca Feeken, in my world she’s the queen of elegant, functional and well thought out dies and this die set is no different.

This is a very large die set. I did not use the outer frame from this set, as I am more of a clean and simple kinda of girl and I wanted my cards to have a very minimalistic look and feel to them. Btw, this die set coordinates with a previously released set from Spellbinders, Grand Cabinet dies.

CARD DETAILS

To make this card I first created an A2 white side folding card base, I also cut another 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” panel, scored 1/4″ to create a hinge and used it to adhere the panel onto the inside of the card to create the 2nd flap for my trifold card design.

Next, I did my die cutting. Be sure to watch video tutorial for details as I’m sharing several tips and tricks. I used beautiful white woodgrain cardstock for the front of my card and also for the 2nd flap on one of my trifold card designs.

I also used Burnished Rose cardstock from Tonic Studios to die-cut all of the main elements – the Christmas Greetings frame, houses, holly leaves and Santa with the reindeer. For the trees I used white glitter cardstock from Simon Says Stamp. I used glue to assemble the card and embellished my projects using Jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.

One of the cards I’m sharing today is not a trifold, but is a simple A2 shaker card (inspired by my last year holiday shakers). I wanted to show you a different, simplified version of this card. Hope you like it!

I made the Christmas Greetings frame into a shaker element and added stars confetti from Pretty Pink Posh to the inside of the shaker:
