Friday Freebie – Print, Cut and Fold Christmas Cards

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Christmas Cards

Free printable cardsThis week I am sharing FREE printable Christmas cards with you guys (for personal use only; My calligraphy).

You are going to LOVE these. All you have to do is: (1) Print on letter-sized cardstock; (2) Cut lengthwise at 5½”; (3) Fold widthwise at 4¼”, and voilà, you’ve got a Christmas card! You can add some bling or some threads to add texture, or just leave it as is.

I don’t believe it gets any easier than that…

To download it simply click on the image (or the link) and if it doesn’t work try to right-click on it and opt for the “save target as…” option (it may be phrased a bit differently on different operating systems – but do NOT opt for the “save image as” option, as you will get the low resolution tiny preview image).

I hope you like it and have lots and lots and lots of fun with it. Plus, if you love my printables, check out my new self paced workshop: “Make Your Own Planner 2012“, I think you will love it too.

Friday Freebie – Printable Holiday Cards

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Free Holiday Cards

This week I have a special treat for you guys, a set of a couple printable holiday cards (for personal use only).

To download it simply click on the image (or the link) and if it doesn’t work try to right-click on it and opt for the “save target as…” option (it may be phrased a bit differently on different operating systems – but do NOT opt for the “save image as” option, as you will get the low resolution tiny preview image).

To use them, simply print the PDF file on a letter sized cardstock, cut them, lengthwise, at 4¼” and fold each piece in half, inward. That’s it.

You can then add a ribbon, a chipboard element or leave it clean and simple, as is. No more than a minute per card.

Now, as much as I appreciate Jennifer Mc’Guire‘s beautiful, artistic cards that every single time make my eyes pop or Lisa Spangler‘s adorable and beautifully made cards and as much as I love Kristina Werner‘s graphic style and creative use of products as well as many other über talented and creative card-artists out there – when the time comes to send dozens, if not hundreds, of holiday cards – I don’t think it is practical to engage in such intricate card making [not to mention one must also be as talented as they are to achieve all of that].

Therefore I always keep it quick and simple and there’s NOTHING SIMPLER than printing, cutting and folding in half…

I hope my mischievous methods will also be helpful to you in this holiday season.

You can always make a few special, more time consuming cards to your close family and best friends…

Video Tutorial – Dimensional Ornaments Card

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Dimensional Ornaments Card

I wanted to share with you a quick and simple card I made. You can also use the same technique to create ornaments for your tree. You may use any symmetrical shape to make it.

Supply

How To


[Go here to watch on YouTube and while there, please rate, comment and subscribe.]

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Cut you cardstock at 4¼” lengthwise and fold in half to create your card base.
  2. For each ornament, punch 5 punched pieces of patterned paper and fold each one in half.
  3. Adhere only one half of the punched piece to the second one, making sure the edges are aligned and repeat on all five punched pieces.
  4. Repeat for all the ornaments you want to add to your card.
  5. Decide how you want to lay your ornaments on your card and pierce a hole on top of each ornament and another hole on the fold of the card in a straight line above each ornament.
  6. Thread your embroidery floss through both pierced holes and tie at the bottom, close to the top of each ornament.
  7. To secure the knot, apply a glob of a strong liquid glue on each knot and attach a gem to it, to conceal the glue.
  8. Adhere the ornaments below each knot.
  9. Stamp your greeting.

Cards. Cards. Cards.

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

This week I was determined to dig deep into my stash and make stuff with forgotten products, side by side with some new products and toys I bought lately. Mix old with the new and get into the holidays’ spirit…

Card
Old: Chatterbox patterned paper, Scalloped circle punch, ink: Palette hybrid in Pure Poppy and vintage Cream by Papertrey Ink.

New: American Crafts cardstock, Bazzill kraft cardstock, Apron Lace border punch by Fiskars, Stamps: Papertrey Ink “Retro Basic Backgrounds”, Ali Edwards “You” for Technique Tuesday, Glitz Design “distress 2″.

Techniques: 1. The striped paper was cut diagonally for a diagonal design. 2. For the flower I punched a gazillion scalloped circles (ok, just 10) and attached them together with a brad. Then I crumpled each layer to create a super-dimensional flower.

Card
Old: Chatterbox patterned paper, wire rimmed ribbon, ink: Palette hybrid in Dark Chocolate and vintage Cream by Papertrey Ink, red felt marker, white gel pen.

New: American Crafts cardstock, Bazzill kraft cardstock, Corner Chomper, stamps: Ali Edwards “You” for Technique Tuesday, Glitz Design “distress 2″.

Techniques: 1. I pleated the ribbon, the wire rim helps it stay put. Then I took a strip of a strong double-sided adhesive and attached it to the cardstock and adhered the pleated ribbon to it. 2. For the layered, distressed background, I first stamped a generic houndstooth pattern in a cream colored ink, let it dry and then stamped a text pattern with brown ink over it.

Card
Old: Cream card, red-brown thread, Palette hybrid ink in Pure Poppy by Papertrey Ink, Kaiser Craft’s clear rhinestones, Fiskars 2″ circle squeeze punch.

New: Brother LS2125I Sewing Machine, American Crafts cardstock, Stamp: Papertrey Ink “Mixed Messages”.

Techniques: This is my first trial ever at sewing, so I’m pretty proud of the semi-straight border :) 1. The border is sewn with a zig-zag stitch. 2. the circle was punched with a 2″ circle punch and adhered to the card with temporary adhesive. Then I sewed freely inside and around the circle to create a rose-like abstract pattern. I also made one run with no thread, for a dotted-punctured effect.
