Super Fast Christmas Cards

Since I used everything from my stash, I have provided the closest matches to the supplies I could find. I wanted to make a lot of cards fast and easy. I think these cards turned out really cute. You can make a card in less than 5 minutes, even if you’re as slow as I am.

I started with pre-made card bases from Michaels and used a 6 x 6″ paper pad from Spellbinders called Dear Santa, no longer available. I cut decorated paper to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and glued it to the front of the A2 sized card bases from Michaels (similar ones linked below). Then I took one of the cardboard ornaments and used foam squares to attach it to the card. I added a sentiment with more foam squares and glued the fuzzy buttons on the first card with Glue Dots, stamped the back with the handmade by Sandy stamp, added washi tape to the envelope and called it done.

I found banners on Temu that would be so easy to turn into Christmas cards..You’d use a 5 x 7″ card base and glue one section of the Vintage Victorian Christmas banner https://tinyurl.com/5bnvmzsw to the front, centering it and adding a sentiment if it isn’t on the banner piece. You’ll still want to stamp the back of the card with your “made by” stamp and washi tape or put a sticker on the envelope.

If you use the Christmas banner https://tinyurl.com/bdex2ntb, you can add foam squares behind one section and attach it to the front of the card then use a sentiment and either some glittery brads or some buttons from your stash. Add washi tape or a sticker to the envelope and stamp the back of the card with “Made by” stamp.

Vintage Victorian Christmas banner: Use on a 5 x 7″ card base and each piece will cover most of the card front and you can trim the excess so top and side background is the same size. https://tinyurl.com/5bnvmzsw

I tried to find the fuzzy buttons on Temu, but couldn’t, sorry.

You’ll also need foam squares, glue dots, wet glue or a tape runner to make these cards.
