I love the tradition of sending out a holiday card every year.
But I have never actually done it.
Perhaps this will be the year!
So if I do get cards out, I have not decided what type of holiday card it would be. So for kicks I decided to try making a few cards.
I kept these very simple of course since that is that I (mostly) do around here: simple.
I personally celebrate Christmas, but as I was making the Christmas Tree card I thought it would be so easy to do a card for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa as well! And I actually like how they all turned out.
Here’s a simple tutorial for an oh-so-simple card:
I took a patterned piece of card stock and cut it into the size of card I wanted.
Next I choose a plain colored piece of card stock, cut it smaller and glued it only the front of my card.
Then I cut out a simple tree shape.
Next I took the tree and cut it into a lot of little pieces.
Then I glued the little pieces to the card, only using every other piece and leaving a blank spot where the piece would go. (Does that make sense?)
Anyway, this is the result: a cute, simple, modern Christmas card!
Using a similar philosophy (simple straight shapes), I created a Hanukkah and Kwanzaa card too.
What do you think? Will you be making, buying, or going digital with your Holiday cards this year?

This is so cute and very creative.
I’m really fan of handmade cards and I love to make this on my own instead of just buying it.
SO, thanks for the inspiration!!
good job for you!!
