Welcome to your Make it With Margi, November Tutorial Card #3. We use Words of Cheer Bundle to make this “HAPPY” Christmas card. We use the stamp set and dies, bring in strips of Painted Christmas Designer Series Papers and Macrame embossed Kraft Paper to provide contrast and layering to our “HAPPY”. The card is finished with a fussy cut Gingerbread & Peppermint biscuits (they are easy to cut), some sprig die cuts, ribbon and Red Rhinestones. I love that many of our products from different suites work together; we can mix & match to come up with our own individual designs.
If you’re not in my class groups, you are welcome to enjoy these designs and your own creativity. If you would like to join one of my groups (online – at the moment) and live in Australia, please contact me. I would love to hear from you.
Ingredients for Words of Cheer Bundle & Happy Card
Let’s step through the ingredients used for our Card. Some are in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue, and some are the pre-release Eden’s Garden.
Words of Cheer Bundle and Making HAPPY
The heroes of this card are the ‘HAPPY’ dies in the Words of Cheer Bundle. I have paired the dies with the CHRISTMAS stamp in the coordinating stamp set. I’ve also used one of the greetings on the inside of my card.
The Christmas Cheer dies don’t have to be just for Christmas. They could work for any celebration card, including New Year Cheer, Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, Retirement etc. Just pair the HAPPY or CHEER with other greetings to make your own creation. I’ve loved making birthday cards and envelopes with these dies. You can see the photos below.

Adhesive Sheets
Oh! my goodness! Why didn’t I use these earlier. They are the perfect adhesive to use with foil and tiny die cuts.
- They come in a pack of 12 sheets of 6″ x 12″ and each sheet has 3 12″ strips.
- You peel a strip (or part of a strip) and adhere it to the back of your foil, then die cut.
- You are ready to gently peel of the remaining adhesive backing and adhere the die cut to your project.
- No messy glue to spoil your shiny foil.
I used these Adhesive Sheets when die cutting all the Brushed Metallic Cardstock for this project.

Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper
Bake up batches of biscuits without the mess using this Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP. The paper is shaded to look like freshly baked goodies. It included brown for the biscuits and reds and greens for icing and peppermints. It matches beautifully with Painted Christmas DSP and Kraft Paper.
