Paper Selection
The card looks best if the weave is a patterned paper. If you have a two sided Christmas paper you only need one set of stripes. The border parts need to be solid colored. Other than that whatever you want is good. Because of all the layering you can use any weight paper you want.
Cutting the Christmas Weave Card
The Cricut lines the stripes up very close and that makes them want to tear on thinner paper. Move them apart on the mat before cutting if you are using thin paper or vellum (Vellum looks very nice on the weave but you can see through it a little)
Cut the card base and the cricut will do the writing. I used a black gel pen and the font Act Justly that you can get at Creative Fabrica
You can combine mats and cut everything on one mat. To see how to do this, you can watch my video on cutting things on the same mat.
