Easy Handmade Christmas Card Tutorials


I like playing around with scrapbook paper to make collages and cards, but I don't do enough of it (yet) to invest in a die cut or other special equipment that a lot of scrapbook tutorials require.  So this year when I decided to make my own Christmas cards, I thought up some easy designs that I could make with just a pair of scissors and some glue sticks.

I created four different designs, each with multiple variations.  So far, I've made 16 cards.  If you're interested in seeing more, I have photos and links to the tutorials below.  Each tutorial includes any templates or stencils that you might need to make your own cards.


First, my Reindeer with holiday branches and berries card.



Next, one of my favorites - my Poinsettia card.  I made a bunch of these cards by changing up the colors that I used for the flower.



My Patchwork Dove card - this is made with strips of scrapbook paper and washi tape.


And my Quilt-Inspired Christmas Tree.  I hope these cards inspired you to try making your own cards this year!
