DIY Christmas Cards

Supplies

Cards – I found packs of cards and envelopes at Hobby Lobby in lots of different colors
Envelopes
Washi Tape
Stickers – these are optional, but the Santa faces are really fun (found these at Hobby Lobby)
Ribbon for the ornaments
Wrapping Paper or Scrapbook Paper
Hole Punch – 2 inch works great, but any size will work. You can also cut the circles out by hand, but the hole punch is super easy. Then you have it for all the fun Cupcake Toppers too!
Adhesive – I like Tape Runner because it’s super easy to use and it’s messy. It’s great for little hands too!
Scissors
Fine Tip Markers – Tombow are my favorite for crafting

These instructions are for the Christmas cards with ornaments, however the same instructions can be used on the cards with trees and candles, just change the shape you cut out.

DIY Christmas Cards

Place the Washi Tape on a piece of card stock paper, making sure that you fit the strips together closely
Using the hole punch, cut out a circle
Continue with another set of tape
Cut out a topper for the ornament from scrapbook paper or wrapping paper
Attach a piece of ribbon with adhesive
Repeat with the ribbon for the second ornament

Santa Christmas Card

Cut circle with hole punch for the body, secure to card with adhesive
Attach the Santa head sticker
Cut arms and legs from red scrapbook paper, and attach them with adhesive
Cut mittens and boots from black scrapbook paper, and attach them with adhesive
Using a very small amount of fluff from a Qtip, add “fur” around Santa’s feet and hands
Cut presents from Washi Tape or wrapping paper
Add ribbon and bows with marker
Add Santa’s belt with marker

Ornament Card

Attach a piece of wrapping paper to the inside of the card
Using the hole punch, cut out circles for ornaments
Add ornament topper and ribbon on with a marker
