Handmade Christmas cards

Handmade Christmas cards – The holidays are coming quickly, there still some time left for Homemade Christmas crafts and cards! When I need to make a lot of cards, I like to pick a product that makes it easier to to choose the colors and design. It helps me speed up my creative process. This year I have created a number of cards using felt embellishments created by Pebbles Inc from the Welcome Christmas line. I have three cards to share using some of these felt embellishments.

Supplies you need for your Handmade Christmas cards:  felt embellishments, white cardstock, 3-4 different sheets of patterned paper, rub-ons, favorite border punches, twine, a couple of brads and colored gems. I always have my paper trimmed, some sharp scissors handy as well as 3D foam pop dots handy.

2. Cut piece of white cardstock (4.5″x 1.75″)
3. Run striped patterned paper through border punch and cut down (4.5″ x 1.5″)
4. Run red and white patterned paper through border punch and cut down (4.5″x .5″)
