Simple Christmas Cards

Hi everyone, 

Today I'm sharing my first Christmas Cards I created for the Christmas season. I used the Mistletoe Chipboard Embellishment and Ornate Lock Chipboard Embellishment. I created some really simple cards and have a step by step tutorial below for you and I have the links with photos below for your convenience. 

Mistletoe Chipboard Embellishment                 Ornate Lock Chipboard Embellishment

                                

CARD 1

To start off I used premade card pack. Pick out two cards for this card.

Pick one of the cards out and cut in half. 

Fold the front of the card in half, as shown below. 

Next add glue to bottom folded portion and adhere the card piece you cut in half. 

Next I embossed the ornate lock chipboard embellishment piece in gold. 

I did two layers on the chipboard piece 

Here is the front of the card. I adhered down the ornate piece added the sentiment "Joy" on the top and the some ribbon. Such a simple card, looks great with the ornate lock chipboard piece. 

CARD 2

For the second card use the third card and fold the front of the card over, as shown below. This will be a Z Fold Card. We will be placing the Mistletoe and bow on top.

To start off I placed glue around the chipboard bow and then sprinkled the red glitter on top of the bow. Set aside to dry. 

Next I painted the mistletoe green.

After the mistletoe dries I adhere down on top of the folded piece.

Adhere the red ribbon on top with a little flat back pearl and added the "Merry Christmas" sentiment. 

Below I photos of both Christmas Card finished. I really like how the ornate lock looks embossed in gold it looks so regal. I also really like the mistletoe with bow looks so good on the Z Fold card. Both are perfect for Christmas cards.

I  hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and found some inspiration from today's Christmas Cards. 

Thanks for joining me today.

Happy Crafting my Friends,
