American Crafts | Christmas Cards

This is a personal blog.  All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of http://americancrafts.typepad.com/.  I do receive financial compensation and material product from American Crafts to develop my craft posts, but all ideas and opinions are my own.

I like to keep my Christmas cards simple, especially if I'm making a lot.
With punches, paper pads and stickers, you can achieve these cards in 
very little time.



Supplies: Very Merry (340472) - 6x6 Paper Pad, Deck The Halls (340471) - 6x6 Paper Pad, Remarks (3404082) - Accent & Phrase Stickers, Details (340415) - Twinkle Dimensional Shapes, Knock Outs (KOP63111) - Dear Lizzy Triangle Banner Punch

How To: Create a card from cardstock measuring 5 1/2"x 5 1/2".  Trim a piece of plaid pattern paper measuring 5 1/2" and adhere to card front.  Trim a piece of white cardstock measuring 5x5" and adhere to center of card face. Use triangle punch to punch out several triangle pieces from the 6x6" paper pads.  Line the triangles up to create a Christmas tree and adhere to the center of card face.  Use a sewing machine and white thread to adhere down.  Add a "joy" sticker to the right hand side of card design.  Finish card by adhering a dimensional shape star to top of tree.
