Why Not Make Your Own Xmas Cards?

Pretty Violet Glitter Snow Flake

Do you want to make your own xmas cards?

This Christmas card design of a violet-colored, glittered snow flake, is really easy to make, yet it's really eye-catching and cute.

Why not give it a try? Here's what you'll need and the directions to make this xmas card idea...

Difficulty Level: An easy Christmas card making idea.

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

You Will Need:

• A plain folded white card (long). You can also use light violet colored card.
• The violet-backed snow flake image from the Printable Christmas Card Making Kit here...
• Purple glitter
• PVC glue
• Spray on glue (I used 3M's Spray Mount)

1. Print it out! Open up the Printable Christmas Card Making Kit [the what?] and print out the page that contains the violet-backed snow flake design.
2. Tear it! Carefully tear along the inner edges of the violet rectangular design. You'll be left with a hand-torn violet/pink rectangle with the white snow flake image in the center.
3. PVC glue it! Carefully color in the snow flake design with your glue. Don't use too much and make sure you don't go over the edges of the snow flake design.
4. 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.
5. Spray glue it! Spray glue the back of the glittered violet rectangle and stick it onto the top third of your card.

Tip: Try to make sure there's the same amount of space (give or take) around the top, as there is on the left and right sides of your hand-torn rectangle.

And there's your handmade Xmas card! It really couldn't be any easier!
