Snowflake Christmas Card
Keep it simple, using a rubber stamp and a few strips of colored
paper and you can create this seasonal card with the minimum of
effort.
Materials Needed:
Blank white card and envelope
Snowflake stamp (“Anita’s”)
White paper
Pale blue card
Dark blue inkpad
Dark blue ribbon
Silver letter peel-offs
Scissors
Glue
Foam pads
Instructions:
1. Stamp the snowflake onto the sheet of white paper. Try to
align it along one edge of the paper to make cutting it out later
easier.
2. Cut the snowflake into a strip, which is the same height as
the card you will be using. Then, cut out a strip of blue card the
same height, but slightly wider than the snowflake strip.
3. Using peel-off letters, spell out “Merry Christmas” onto a
small rectangle of blue card as shown in the photograph.
4. Stick the pale blue strip of card and the snowflake strip
together as shown in the photograph. Glue this to the front of
your blank card.
5. Stick a strip of dark blue ribbon to either side of your
strips of card.
6. Finally, stick the “Merry Christmas” greeting to the bottom
of the card using foam pads. Again, you are not limited to using a
snowflake stamp – any Christmas themed stamp, or a combination of
stamps could be used. Simply alternate the colourings to suit. For
example, if you were to use a Christmas tree stamp, you could use
green ink and card in place of the blue.
