Materials Needed for Your Christmas Insert Card
To craft this festive card, gather the following supplies:
Cutting Machine: A Cricut or other compatible cutting machine for precise cuts.
Cardstock: Choose cardstock in your preferred colors. I used green and grey, but feel free to pick any combination that suits your style. You may prefer to use insert card blanks if using the Cricut Joy and the card mat.
Scoring tool for the larger cutting machines.
Cutting Mat: Use a StandardGrip mat to hold your cardstock while cutting, or, if you're using a Cricut Joy, a Card Mat will work perfectly.
These essentials will help you create a beautiful holiday card ready to share with loved ones!

Assembly
Your card stock will cut out in two pieces, the card base and insert card.
Flip your card base over and slide the insert card into the four pre-cut slits, as shown in the photo. This simple step securely holds the insert in place, giving your card a clean, professional finish without the need for glue or adhesives.
Fold the card base in half and your card is now complete!
