Hand Made Christmas Cards
There are some beautiful handmade papers you can purchase at scrapbooking shops in a wide variety of colors and textures. They also have a wide selection of bits and peices you can glue on to create that one of a kind Christmas card.

You can spray or apply glue to sections of the card in the shape of a logo or text. Then, sprinkle small confetti, glitter or other materials onto the surface. Allow it to dry and then shake the card to dislodge the parts not glued down.

If you are creative and talented drawing an image may be the way to go. Your own miniature pencil, ink or painted scene can be abstract or representational. You can draw a family member, a pet, a Christmas scene or symbols such as stars, bells and santa. The main benefit of creating your own card is that it becomes meaningful for you and your recipient.

Christmas cards don't have to be completely two dimensional either. With clever cutting techniques and fancy shaped cutting scissors you can make a fold-out display in the shape of an animal, a Nativity scene and others. Just fold the paper into four sections and draw the outline of the scene upside down on the two inner surfaces. Then cut carefully along the outline. When you separate the two outer parts, the inner parts will lift up, showing your scene.

Some of the smaller offcuts from your Christmas Cards make great Christmas Gift tags. Cut a rectangular, abstract or Christmas shape out and with a hole punch make a small hole. Thread some curling ribbon through and its ready to attach to your christmas Gifts.
