Simply Seasonal

By Sandie Goble

When making Christmas cards for all your

friends, you often don’t want a complicated

design that takes ages to replicate. This little

selection of designs are quick and easy to make

so everybody you know can experience a hand-

made card this year.

I have given materials and instructions for

all the cards individually. You will also need an

SF03U card mount in the colour of your choice

and some P.V.A. Craft adhesive.

Ivy Leaf - Materials Required:

Apressed ivy leaf (at least two weeks

of pressing required).

Gold metallic tissue paper.

Matt Gold spray paint.

An old sheet of Christmas music that

you no longer require.

To Make The Card:

Roughly tear the gold tissue paper to approxi-

mately 75mm square and glue onto the mount

keeping it towards the top of the card. Tear a

60mm square from an old sheet of Christmas

music and

glue this

centrally

onto the tissue paper.

To Make The Card:

Spray the pressed ivy leaf

with gold paint. Use in a well

ventilated room or outdoors

and protect surroundings with

old newspapers. Allow to dry

then glue onto the centre of

the music square.

Cut the brown hessian to

65mm square and glue onto

the card mount keeping it

towards the top.

Glue a 45mm square of

purple corrugated paper cen-

trally onto the hessian square.

Wind a length of fine gold

cord around the centre of the

star (about four times round

looks good) making sure you

begin and end on the same

face of the star. Glue the ends

to the back of the star and

glue the star onto the corru-

gated paper.

Star - Materials Required:

A wooden star

approx. 30mm across.

65mm Hessian square.

Purple corrugated paper

45mm square.

A 20cm length of fine

sparkly Gold cord.

Crackers - Materials Required:

Handmade paper of your choice, I have used

blue and gold but other Christmas colours

would work just as well.

Christmas wording background paper.

Gold foiled paper and Gold pipe cleaners.

Fine cord (any colour) and double sided tape.

To Make The Card:

Tear a piece of handmade paper to 70mm x

80mm and glue onto the card mount. Glue a

50mm x 60mm piece of torn Christmas backing

paper onto the centre of this.

For each cracker, cut a piece of gold foil to

25mm x 50mm and a piece of pipe cleaner to

48mm. Stick a strip of double sided tape along

one long edge of the gold paper, place the pipe

cleaner onto the other long edge, peel the back-

ing from the tape and roll the gold paper around

the pipe cleaner to make a long thin tube. The

pipe cleaner will prevent the crackers from being

crushed in the post.

Take a piece of thin cord, place it around a

cracker about 10mm in from one end. Cross the

ends over and pull gently, as though tightening

a knot then remove the cord. Do this at each end

of the crackers to shape them. Glue the crackers

into place.

Gold Star - Materials Required:

Gold tissue paper.

Purple mulberry paper.

Christmas Tree - Materials Required:

Christmas background

paper and a Christmas

tree paper punch.

Lilac paper or mulberry

paper.

Scrap of Silver foiled

card and a sticky fixer.

Gold gel pen and dimensional paint.

To Make The Card:

Tear a 55mm

square of purple

mulberry paper and

glue onto the card

mount. Cut a stylish

star from gold paper

and glue onto the

purple square.

Add stars to the

mulberry and a hand

written greeting

using a gold gel pen.

Draw a border round

the star using dimen-

sional fabric paint to

complete the card.

To Make The Card:

Tear a 70mm square

of lilac paper and glue

onto the card at an

angle.

Tear a 50mm square

of Christmas back-

ground paper and glue onto the lilac paper

keeping it square to the card.

Punch a tree from silver foiled card and stick

onto the centre of the background using a piece

of sticky fixer pad.
