Homemade Christmas Card Ideas

The purple glitter gives the design a beautiful frosty shimmer that you can't really see in the picture. But trust me, it's there... and it's shimmery!

Difficulty Level: Easy

To make this card you will need the purple-backed holly image, which can be found in our Printable Christmas Card Making Kit here...

You Will Need:

A plain folded purple card (square-shaped).
The purple-backed holly image from the Printable Christmas Card Making Kit here...
Purple glitter
PVC glue
Spray on glue (I used 3M's Spray Mount)

How To Make This Homemade Christmas Card Idea ...

Print it out! Open up the Printable Christmas Card Making Kit [the what?] and print out the page that contains the purple-backed holly design.
Tear it! Carefully tear along the inner edges of the purple rectangular design. You'll be left with a hand-torn purple rectangle with the white holly image in the center.
PVC glue it!
1. Carefully color in the holly design with your glue. Don't use too much and make sure you don't go over the edges of the holly design.
2. Fill in the lighter frame of the design with spikey squiggles using your PVC glue. Tip: Start off by drawing longer diagonal lines in each corner. This draws the focus inwards to the holly in the center.
Glitter it! Sprinkle some of the purple glitter over the design (make sure you place a folded piece of scrap paper underneath, to catch the excess glitter when you shake it off). Tap off the excess glitter and return to the pot. Leave to dry.
Spray glue it! Spray glue the back of the glittered purple rectangle and stick it in the center of your card.
