Today I’m sharing 26 cards I made using Recollections “Say Freeze” 6 x 6 paper pad, sticker pack, traditional Christmas die cut stickers, and matching solid cardstock.
I love pattern paper pads and I love to make Christmas cards. I saw this collection at Michaels craft store and ended up purchasing it on Black Friday for under $8. I wanted to see what I could do with this collection and ended up making 26 cards, 5 of which are duplicates. For some of the cards, I was inspired by a card sketch and other designs I came up with on my own.
This is such a great way to make a bunch of quick cards. I was going for a very simple look using only a few supplies. I mainly used only the paper and stickers in the collection, however, there are a few cards where I brought in some circle dies and scalloped circle dies to use on the cards. I also brought in a few pieces of green solid cardstock from my stash.
I have a video on my YouTube channel showing my design process of all of the cards. I also listed each card below along with measurements.
Enjoy!

Hi Caroline. Thank you so much!! Most of my epoxy dots are from The Stamps of Life, but unfortunately they don’t sell them individually. They are usually part of card kits or embellishment packs.

Thanks so much for all the work you put into your video and listing all the measurements on your blog! I did buy this paper pack so I was looking for more inspiration apart from the couple of cards I had made. However, now I am wishing I had purchased the coordinating stickers as they really add to the designs — next year I will be doing that for sure.

You are welcome Sheryl. I know Michaels sells their products online so if you really want those stickers, see if they can be shipped to you.

Hi Barbara. I’m assuming you are referring to the card bases? I used 80 lb cardstock for the card bases, however, some of the card bases were from pre-made card bases that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I’m not sure of the weight of the pre-made card bases.

Thank you so much for sharing! You have no idea how crippling it is for me to start… you gave me lots and lots of ideas. I am terrible about grabbing all these matching sets when they come out and then hoarding them instead of using them!
