Archive for homemade christmas cards

 Are you an organised sort of person who is always on top of things and has all the handmade Christmas cards finished by the beginning of December?

Or are you like me, with 101 things left to do at the last minute?

Well just in case you still haven't completed your cards and are getting desperate, here is the answer - a 2 minute Christmas Card!

These cards are so simple to make yet still have the individual handmade look and feel to them.

I made these from a pack of holographic tags which have been sitting in my "stash" for so many years that I can't remember where I got them from.

The card toppers were free from a cardmaking magazine and were fixed to the gift tag with 3D foam pads to add some dimension to the card.

I used some glitter to add a bit of sparkle to the card toppers and then finished off with a peel off sentiment and a bit of off-cut ribbon. ( Another reason why not to throw anything away, even small off cuts can come in useful!)

The card blank used was a white 3½"  square.

These may not be the most elegant of homemade christmas cards but they are quick, jolly and full of Christmas cheer!

ife has been so hectic lately that my card making sessions have been few and far between. Anyway hopefully things have quietened down a bit now and I can crank up the card making.

To get started I've been cutting out circles and ovals with Nestabilities and them rubber stamping on them sat in front of the TV.

Last night I started assembling the cards and I thought you'd like to see one of the results.

 

 

 

Materials used:

White base card, Green mirror card, red textured card, Christmas backround paper, Christmas sentiment, red spotted ribbon, white sparkle glitter, red glitter and the rubber stamped image was free with a card making magazine. Coloured using Copic pens.

 

Here's a close-up of the rubber stamping:

 

The card and image is a lot sharper in real life - I think I'm going to have to work on my camera skills!
