Another easy Christmas card...

Here's another easy -to-make Christmas card that you can whip together in a hurry! You will need:

1 red paper flower (2")

2 small red paper flowers (1")

1 green leaf

1 "joy" die cut

A4 red card

Beige Cardstock

Patterned Paper

Vellum Paper

Glue Stick

Glue Dots

3 mini gold brads

Instructions:

Cut a piece of beige cardstock slightly smaller than the front of your card and glue to the front (5.25" x 4").

Cut a piece of patterned paper (mine was a Santa Postage Stamp pattern), slightly smaller than the beige card (5" x 3.75") and glue to the front.

Cut a piece of vellum paper for layering on top of the patterned paper (4.5" x 3") and glue that on top of the patterned paper.

Place brads in the middle of the flowers and arrange them in the top left of the card along with the green leaf. I find it easier to attach the flowers with glue dots. It gives them a nice 3-D look, and the glue dots also stick better than any glue I've ever tried. The flowers I used were Prima, and already had the gold glitter on them.

For the "Joy" die cut, if you don't have one (I made mine with the Cricut), either write it on with a thicker tip pen, or stamp and cut it out. Either way, you will have an easy card that makes a beautiful statement. Find more free card patterns here: http://www.dinglefoot.com/how-to-make-a-handmade-greeting-card/
