I don’t know about you, but usually I come up short on Christmas cards, whether I buy them or handcraft them. There’s always people who come to mind when the 25th of December comes closer and closer, and sometimes I send out my last cards after Christmas, just in time for New Year…
So I’m going to share two ideas for those times you find yourself in need of one or more extra Christmas cards – and quickly! The first one is a blog-only photo tutorial – which you are reading right now 🙂
You’ll find the second card idea in the next blog post, and it’s a video tutorial.
Quick Christmas Card Tutorial – Enjoy!
Supply list: cardstock, design paper, cut-a-apart sheet or ATC card, ribbon, Stickles, double-sided tape, dimensional tape, Christmas stamp or rub-on.
Paper collections used: Kaisercraft – Turtle Dove, Kaisercraft – Just Believe (cut-a-apart sheet)
1. Mat your card. Adhere two short pieces of ribbon, for decorative purposes, as shown.
2. Take a cutapart (or cut something like it) and decorate to your liking. E.g. I stamped a sentiment and went around the edge of the pattern with glitter glue.
3. Attach the cutapart to the front of the card (covering the loose ends of the ribbons).
4. Fussy cut some elements.
5. Attach the first element to your card.
6. Apply dimensional tape to your second element.
7. Adhere the second element to your card.
8. Add some glitter glue accents to your elements.
Done!
