I swear I saw a tutorial someplace on how to make "door cards" for a business-sized envelope, but couldn't find it, so I created these myself. :-)
For each card: I cut a 3-1/2 x 8-3/4" panel from the wood-look PP in the paper pack, & then cut 1/2" strips of the same paper. I cut 1/2" strips from brown CS also, & adhered each 1/2" strip of wood-look paper onto two strips of the brown CS to give the strips some depth (think "boards"). I then cut them to fit so it looked like framing on the larger panel, to try to make them look like old farm doors.
I attached the keyhole element to the door, & also a larger round brad to look like a doorknob. Adhered the finished door to a 3-5/8 x 8-7/8" piece of red CS, & then to the card front (green CS).
I cut out two large swirls from two different shades of the green textured CS using the thinlits dies from Swirly Scribbles, & a smaller swirl from the lighter green. Layered them together to make the wreath. I used the 1/8" punch on the red CS to make the berries; glued them on to the wreath & then dotted them with the Glossy Accents to make them shine!
I stamped the 'Merry Christmas' banner from White Christmas SS onto Very Vanilla and onto the red CS with VersaMark. Heart embossed the VV one with Cherry Cobbler EP & the red CS one with Bold Black EP. Fussy cut them out & adhered to the wreaths. Created a bow out of the baker's twine & adhered that to the wreath.

Gasp! I am so in love with these door cards with these gorgeous wreaths on them. I am not sure what I love more- the door that you made yourself or these amazing wreaths. This is right up my alley for fantastic. You are so creative to have come up with this door pattern yourself- I am truly impressed! ~Karen.
