This is a really effective Christmas card that looks very classy and is easy to make.
What is required to make this card:
- A6 cream gatefold card blank
- Rioja red pearlised card
- Christmas holly wreath with red bow
- Christmas holly wreaths & borders peel off sheet – Gold
- Season’s Greetings peel off sheet – Gold
- Double sided sticky tape
- Very sticky craft glue
- Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat
How to make:
Measure and cut out two strips from the rioja red pearlised card that measure 15mm wide and are the exact height of the card blank. Use double sided sticky tape to stick one strip down the very left hand side of the card blank and the other strip down the very right hand side of the card blank.
Remove a holly leaf border from the gold Christmas holly wreaths & borders peel off sheet and carefully stick this down the left hand rioja red strip and then repeat this with a matching holly leaf border for the right hand rioja red strip.
Next place the gold Season’s Greetings peel off sheet on your cutting mat and using your craft knife carefully make small cuts to separate the two words ‘Season’s Greetings’. Peel these words off individually and stick the word Season’s at an angle to the bottom left flap of the card blank and the word Greetings at the same angle to the bottom right flap of the card blank.
Finally use a very sticky strong craft glue to stick the holly wreath embellishment to the left hand flap of the card blank positioned as shown in the picture. Take great care to make sure the glue does not stick the wreath down to the right hand flap as well.
