Wonder of the Season Christmas Cards |
|
S
upplies for 30 + cards, 15 card designs provided below (make two of each design), with plenty left over to make at least 10 more cards.
For the samples shown I did not have a full pack of jewels, so you might want to decorate with jewels differently. The supplies above are more than enough to make a total of 40 cards. If you supplement with additional card stock and stamps you will have plenty of DSP left over to make even more!
Plan to make two each of the following cards at the same time. One piece of the DSP paper is used to make 2 (or more) cards at the same time.
Before starting below, cut the Whisper White cardstock in half to have two pieces 5 ½” x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼” and fold in half to make your cards. Each sheet of paper will make 2 cards. You can also cut the paper in half lengthwise to have cards that open up instead of on the right. For this cut the paper to be 4 ¼” x 11”, score at 5 ½”.
You will have leftover colored cards, jewels, and ¾ of the paper pack when you are done (if you ordered the supplies above and did not share with anyone). If you have access to other cardstock and envelopes you can still make a few more cards (and even a mini album) with the remnants from this kit.
