once there was a snowman...

to make this card use a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 single card base (it just has a front and back - it doesn't fold). cut off the upper right and left corners. punch out a circle, and attach it to the middle top of the card using an eyelet. stamp a snowman onto white paper (I used a bazzill paper for texture, but the stamp didn't always look good). tear the edges of the paper around the stamp. use colored pencils to color in certain parts of the stamp. use chalk to color the ripped edge of the paper. glue to the middle of the card base. stamp a christmas phrase to the bottom right of the card base. attach ribbon through the eyelet hole.

snowflakes and ribbon

to make this card, use a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in. card base of cardstock. cut. cut a 1 3/4 x 5 in piece of white paper. cut a 2 x 5 in. piece of white paper. cut a 1 x 5 in. piece of colored bazzill. punch out four snowflakes using a punch, diecut or cricut. attach the snowflakes to the top 1 in. white piece of paper using brads. glue the white piece of paper to the top of the card leaving a 1/4 in. border along the top and sides. attach the larger patterned piece of blue paper along the bottom of the white paper (there should also be a 1/4 in. border along the sides and bottom). use the colored bazzill paper to cover the crease. stamp a holiday message to the bottom of the card on the larger patterned paper. wrap a 15 in. ribbon around the card at the level of the middle of the bazzilled paper.

a little holiday cheer

to make this card, start with a 12 x 4 inch piece of paper, folded length-wise to form a 6x4 in. card of bazzill or textured paper. cut out a 5 1/4 x 3 1/4 in. rectangle of black bazzill. cut a 5x3 in. rectangle of beige bazzill. glue the two rectangles together in the middle, leaving a 1/8 border all the way around. attach the double rectangles to the card using eyelets in all four corners, making sure to leave a 1/2 inch-ish boarder all the way around the card. cut out three triangles from green bazzill. cut a square from brown bazzill, and punch out a star from yellow bazzill. glue them to the beige rectangle, starting with the trunk, then the three triangles (make sure to overlap, finally glue the star on top. stamp a holiday message onto the beige bazzill, and glue it to a piece of black bazzill for a border. glue to the inside of the card.
