Three little Christmas trees Three little Christmas trees

For those of you who have not yet made your Christmas Cards here is a quick and quite stunning Christmas Card.  You will need a white square card and envelope, Black backing card, floral paper, gold pen and some star gems.  Cut out three Christmas tree freehand from the floral paper making one slightly large than the other two.  When cutting the black card you will need to ensure the trees fit and that the card is slightly smaller than the white card. Place the trees on the black card with the larger tree in the middle and glue add the gems to the top of the trees. Draw a line across the middle of the black card up to the first tree and continue the line after the third tree. Write the sentiment you require below and glue the black card to the centre of the white card. Finish off the card by giving the trees a saddle stitch affect with the gold pen.

Christmas Puds Christmas Puds

This is a lovely, quick and easy card to make. You will need one square card 144x144mm some coloured card, white glitter card, a circle punch and some ribbon.  I have used pink and greens but you can use any colour you wish.  First cut out three long strips of coloured card each one being slighly smaller than the first.  The first being approximate 4.5cm wide and 144cm long. Place the wider strip on the centre of the card and glue. Glue the second strip on top and the smaller of the two on top of that, cut off any over lap at each end of the card.  Punch out three circles two pink and one green and two circles in the white glitter card.  Place the green circle in the centre of the card  and the two pink circles on each side of the green circle.  Cut the two circles from the glitter card in half,   You will only need three halves.  Place one half on each of the christmas puds.  This will give the effect of cream. Tie the pink ribbon around the card. You can enhance the cream by adding some glitter glue but this is optional. Add some holly to the tops of the Christmas puddings to finish off your card.

For this project you will need: one high gloss card, some coloured card (any colour you prefer) the dog and bone sticker, the sunflower sticker, peel off numbers,  gemstone for the handle and one die cut oval shape.

Simply cut out two rectangle shapes one 4cm x 2.5cm and the other a little smaller. Place the die cut oval shape on the high gloss card and stick in place. Place the large rectangle shape on top of the oval shape and glue down.  Cut the smaller rectangle into four pieces ensure that two pieces are longer than the other two and place the pieces on the large rectangle shape to give the impression of groves on the door.  Cut a small circle in half and place on the top of the large rectangle shape this will form the top of the door.  Cut two long strips of card just a little longer than the top and bottom of the door and place one at the bottom of the door and the other where the half circle joins the door. Add the embellishments i.e. dog, sunflower, gem for the handle and the number of the new home and there you have it one new home card that anyone would be proud to receive.
