Easy DIY Holiday Card Ideas

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree !

So, I already have all of my regular Christmas card address and ready to be mailed out in the beginning of December. But, there are a few handmade gifts that I give to various people every year that warrant a pretty awesome hand made card. 

These are just some of the layouts I did. 

There are thousands of things you could do, and I urge you to use every ounce of creativity you have! 

I know that personally I  {L O V E } receiving hand made gifts and cards. 

It really shows the person how much you truly appreciate them. 

What I Used:

• 2 of the latest issues of Chatelaine 
• Scraps of Wrapping Paper 
• Ribbons 
• Large Circle Punch 
• Scrapbook Mounting Squares 
• Fancy Pen 
• Scissors (Not Pictured) 
• Card stock (Not Pictured)

The first one I made (pictured on the left), was very simple to make. 

I used the large circle punch to punch a bunch of circles out of a page in the magazine 

that was very festive and sparkly.

I used the scrapbooking mounting squares to stick the circles randomly 

onto the white card stock. 

I wrote a simple 'Happy Holidays & Happy New Year' on the back. 

Simple. Cute. Festive. 

For the second one (pictured on the right), I used the circle punch again and punch a purple 

page out of the magazine cover. I made a border on the left side of the 

card stock and used the scrapbooking mounting squares to secure them to the paper. 

I then used a single hole punch and punched two holes at the top 

of the paper about an inch apart. I then laced ribbon 

through the holes and tied them together. I did this twice. 

I then curled the ribbon using the scissors. 

I again wrote on it with a simple message. 

It looks lovely. 

This is the third card I made. 

On the front I took some wrapping paper scraps and I stuck them to the card stock with the mounting 

squares. I made them all at different angles so it looked more abstract. 

I added a piece of paper to the corner so I would have a place to write 

the to and from part of the card. 

On the reverse, I cut 13 circles with the punch out of white paper. I 

hand wrote the letters for 'Happy Holidays'. I tried to

make all the letters in different writings and different sizes

 so it went along with the abstract of the front

of the card. 

I think this one is my favorite so far.
