Easy Christmas Card
Image by campbelj45ca
This hand made Holiday Card or Christmas card is easy to make, economical to design and relies heavily on recycled materials. It’s also a form of altered art since it involves altering an existing card. This card uses two varieties of scrapbook paper. One is stamped with an outline of a pine cone. Ribbon, a Merry Christmas stamp and a few small star-shaped stickers complete the picture.

Card Making
To become a good card making expert you need to have a creative and patient nature, it is a very precise art to undertake, below please find some tips. http://www.diyconservatories-and-windows.co.uk/
Tips:
• Keep scare cuttings from newspapers, magazines, crap paper etc, these will come in useful when you decide to start making cards, for example, you could get a lot of kitten and animal photos that could be cut out for the use of card making.
• Try to collect cut out punches so that you always have them at hand if you wish to create a certain shape, you can find the best deals on websites online or if you go to card boot sales, there are often craft stores which offer a huge saving on RRP rates.
• Always write down the plan of your card before you make it, this can avoid the mistakes usually made without planning, you are also able to be more creative with your designs and get the items needed to complete it.
• Get specialist plastic bags to place your cards within once drying to ensure that none of the items fall off your card, these can also be helpful if you plan to sell your cards, this will keep them safe and dust free.
• You get items such as flowers quite a lot, these can be useful, dry them out and then you will be able to use them within your card designs and make them look good.
• Get sticky sheets to ensure that you are able to create 3d effects with your images, as well as have the sticky tabs it is best to have something to go around the edges such as glitter to make it look flashier.
• Try to theme your cards if you aren’t planning on selling them, for example one of your relatives or someone in your family may be interested in a certain film, you could print off a picture and then get an embossing kit to make the image more 3d.
• Try to alternate between shapes with cards such as curvy tops to make it more presentable to the public if they are to be sold.
• Birthday Cards – for young people these should be colourful for example orange and pink is a good colour for birthday cards, or for older people light blues and purples are good colours.
• Valentines Cards – Obviously red is a good colour for love, to go with red you could use white or pink, also I find black is a good colour to contrast with the red.
• Christmas Cards – These usually use pastel colours to make it more calming.
