Hello everyone. I’m just dropping in quickly to share a half sheet (8.5”x5.5”) Christmas card made for my goddaughter’s teacher. It needed to be large enough so all the students in her class could sign it.
I started by trimming a piece of Bristol paper to 8.25”x5.25”. It was die cut with the Very Merry and Bright die from My Favorite Things (MFT). Masked off the snowy ground and ink blended turquoise dye ink and Blueprint Sketch distress ink from the bottom and left sides and fading out. Spritz it with water and blot with a paper towel, followed by adding white and turquoise splatters for some texture. Backed the opening with a piece of red Christmas Plaid paper from Memory Box.
Assembled the card onto a white 8.5”x5.5” side folding card base, then added clear shimmer to the red tree ornaments and white highlights with a white gel pen to finish. Thank you for visiting.

This is so cute. I love the buffalo plaid letters and sweet penguins. This will be a lovely keepsake for the teacher to remember her class.
Super sweet and beautiful!! Thanks for playing along our December challenge at Die Cut Divas.
Oh how fun Trina! It's hard to fill a larger card like that - I've made a few of them when lots of people needed to sign - Your tree decorating penguins are so cute with the big bold plaid letters! Your winter sky is gorgeous!
I love the plaid behind those wonderful large letters and those penguins are adorable. Beautiful scene card. I love the background. So glad you joined us in the "Anything Goes" challenge at https://die-cut-divas.blogspot.com/
This is so adorable. That cute penguin tangled in the lights was a great idea. I know the teacher will love it. TFS
What a fbulous card Trina - I love the bold plaid lettering and I'm sure the teacher will too! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Trina, this is fabulous! The teacher is going to cherish this sweet card! I love the big, bold lettering and the little penguins! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
Oooohhh, that big, bold buffalo check sentiment is fabulous! Such a sweet little scene with those penguins, too. Thanks so much for joining us over at The Paper Players!
Love the plaid lettering and the sweet little penguins. The teacher will love it - so much more unique than a store-bought card.
Thoroughly awesome + adorable greeting! I'm a major fan of oversized cards and, indeed, many of my makes are a bit bigger than the average handmade card size range. I just adore having such a spacious "blank canvas" to work with.

Super cute penguins having fun decorating! Wonderful fun plaid paper for the sentiments, too! Fab Christmas card!!
This is such a bright and delightful scene, Trina! A perfect size for the large die cut sentiment and I love the red plaid paper peeking through! The shiny lights and sweet penguins are adorable!
WOW ! Such an adorable scene, Trina ! These little penguins are so darn cute. As always your ink blended background is stunning, so much beautiful dimension. Love the big and bold sentiment die cut baked with plaid pattern paper. Once again you rock ! Hugs x
This is adorable, Trina! The cool plaid big sentiment is perfect for this large card. Love that you added the die-cut string of lights to the penguin on the left to create a fun scene. The snowy blue sky in the background is simply gorgeous! The teacher and her students will love the card. :-)
