Today I’m sharing a Match Book sized Christmas card using Art Impressions – MB Santa Christmas – 5442, MB Template Dies (5317), MB Envelope Die (5318)  that I made. Love these little cards as they are so fun to make. The closed size is 1.75″ x 2″.

To create the card, I began with the card base using PhotoPlay – Christmas Memories double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). Using the same dies, I also die cut the flooring using Joy Crafts – Artist Trading Card – Tough Texture. This small paper is excellent for the small detail required. I glued this piece to the base and set it aside.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images and applied Pental Slicci – Gold 8.0 pen to the lamp post. A Quickie Glue Pen was used to apply Glitter to Santa’s hat and clothing, the stockings, Christmas Tree Bulbs and on the wreath. With the Cuttlebug, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups using Art Impressions – MB Santa Christmas 5442 and the envelopes using Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist double-sided paper and the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). (Not shown in photo.)

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs and wall items. They were then all adhered to the base card as show above. I created a little 1.5″ x 1.5″ white square and attached it to some Recollections – Red cardstock. I then cut around it again to create a slim border. I glued this onto the back of the card in order write my sentiment. The card was then folded up and put into the little match book envelope.
