Christmas cards made quickly and easily

A quick and easy DIY idea for Christmas is homemade Christmas cards. Here is a step-by-step guide using materials that everyone has at home:

Materials:

• Blank cards or thick paper

• colored pencils, felt-tip pens or watercolors

• stamp and stamp ink (optional)

• Glitter, stickers or other decorations

• Scissors

• glue

Directions:

1. Preparing the cards: Cut the thick paper into the desired size for the cards. A typical size would be 10x15 cm.

2. Design: Let your creativity run wild! You can draw or paint a festive saying or a Christmas motif on the front of the card. Popular motifs are Christmas trees, stars, presents or snowmen.

3. Decoration: Use glitter, stickers or other decorations to make the cards even more beautiful. You can also add great accents with stamps.

4. Personal message: Write a personal message inside the card. This can be a simple Christmas greeting or a nice reminder.

5. Finishing: Let the cards dry thoroughly (especially if you used paint or glue) and put them in envelopes.

These homemade Christmas cards are a thoughtful gesture that you can give to family and friends. They are quick to make and bring a personal touch to the Christmas season!

I have been bitten by the card-making bug myself. I now have an impressive collection of tools for creating a wide variety of designs.

My personal favorites are the gnomes - they are just cute.

But here I have a card idea for you especially for Christmas - it's really quick, really easy, but it looks great!

All you need is thick paper (I already have pre-cut cards), pens (I use metallic pens, but others are also possible), a triangular stencil or adhesive tape that can be easily removed and possibly decorative stars or stickers.
