Well last week's gingerbread house has certainly got me in the mood for getting a head start with Christmas cards. Because we probably send more Christmas cards, than the sum total of all other cards during the year, they have to be fairly quick so they can be produced in multiples. I tend to make a few special cards, and try and do 10-20 of each of several designs. That way I get to use my abundance of Christmas craft stamps and stencils, and one design might be okay for your friend Sharon, but wouldn't be the right design to send to auntie Hilda.
This is just a 6" square card, but could be any size, with a panel of Christmas paper matted over a slightly wider panel of a plain colour. I used a plain silver peel off border strip at the edge of the patterned paper where it met the plain. You could punch a border. I punched a circle, stamped a greeting, edged the circle and the card with the same colour ink, then made a hole to thread a little ribbon through.
Catch you next week,
Christine
