Christmas Cards

If you have a small list of people to whom you send Christmas cards, or if you are willing to start making cards early in the year, you can make homemade Christmas cards for everyone on your list.
Purchase card stock or blank cards, die cuts, rubber stamps or stickers (or construction paper you can cut out in the shape of a tree, snowflake, house, Santa, manger, etc.) festive colored paper and maybe a pair of scissors that makes a cool scalloped edge.
Cut pretty paper to the size of the inside of the card or smaller. You can stack several pieces of different sizes, just make sure the one on top is light enough for you to write on. Glue these to the inside of the card. Decorate the outside with your stickers, die cuts, rubber stamps, more paper, or whatever you want (of course you can use these things inside, too).
And don’t forget the envelope. If you have plain white or cream-colored envelopes, slide a colorful piece of paper in as a liner (you can put a piece of double-stick tape on the back side to help it stay in place) and put a festive sticker, stamp or decoration on the front of the envelope. For cards I’m not mailing, I like to glue on a little three-dimensional item, like one of those mini decorations for tiny Christmas trees
