Solve your Christmas crafting panic with our splendidly simple cards
We all told ourselves that this year would be different. That we would get all of our Christmas cards made with plenty of time to spare. Yet here we are again, with plenty of crafting still to do. But what if we told you there was a set of cards you could whip up in no time, without stamping or die cutting a single thing?
Using the spectacular Sprinkled With Cheer collection from Rosie’s Studio, you’ll have these knockout cards completed in no time.
GINGERBREAD DELIGHT
1 Make a 10cm x 17cm white blank, then trim gingerbread man paper slightly smaller and glue to the front. Secure a tartan paper strip, 4cm x 17cm, down the front.
2 Glue a journal card to the back of a chipboard frame, trimming to fit. Position the frame on the card front, then tuck holly and foliage under it and adhere in place. Attach three gingerbread men to the frame using 3D foam pads and fix circular sprinkles between them.
3 Secure a split sentiment to the top and bottom with 3D foam pads, then add three round sprinkles to the top and a puffy sticker to the bottom.
CHRISTMAS CRACKER
1 Create a 9cm x 17cm top-folding white blank, then matt with green patterned paper. Draw vertical lines down the back at 3.5cm and 13.5cm.
