I think it is important to make homemade cards because they show more thoughtfulness than just buying one from a store. Plus, it is more personal to have a card that somebody made for you with their own hands.

What are some of the different types of cards?

There are a variety of different ways to make cards for friends and loved ones this Christmas season.

• One option is to use puffy paint, which can be used on any surface to create beautiful designs.
• Another option is using the well-known Washi tape to decorate your card or wrapping paper before it gets wrapped up in a bow.

How to make printable Christmas cards

Kids love to do arts and crafts and making Christmas cards are no different. Here are some ideas on how to make the perfect Christmas card with the kids.

• Glue a small doily to the front of the Christmas card.
• Get a piece of white craft foam and draw a face (like Santa’s, a snowman or an Elf) on it with black fabric paint. Cut out the face from the foam and attach it to the front of your card.
• To make these cards even more festive, add a little glitter to the face.
• Write your message/sentiments on white felt and cut out. Attach this fabric scrap to the front of your card, as well as any other embellishment you would like (glitter, buttons etc.).
• Cut out three snowmen from fabric and sew them together with thread and button eyes. Then write or draw a new pattern on their faces! Attach to the card with needle and thread.
• Cut small paper buntings, hang on a small string and attach to the top of the card with needle and thread.

Instead of spending money on gift cards or leaving your child with a new toy that will surely become outdated, why not make one every year as a keepsake to record your child’s growth? To do this you can take pictures and write captions for each milestone. This is the perfect way to save memories. Plus, it’s much more personal than any store-bought card! The grandparents would love this type of Christmas card as well.

What are my free printable Christmas cards

Homemade printable Christmas cards are a great option for holiday celebrations. They are easy to make, and they also provide a memorable experience for any recipient.

It is also easy to create your own Christmas cards to print. All you need is a computer and a software to create them in. You can find free software to use as well. But to make things easier, I offer you a printable file that has 2 great card options for you to pick from.

Free Christmas Card Idea #1

The first option says Happy Holidays on the front of the card and has a great quote on the inside. All you have to do is print it out, fold it and send or give to your loved ones and friends. You can also personalize your card and I’ll be offering some suggestions below.

Card Idea #2

The second card says Christmas tree on it and Merry Christmas on the inside. There is a lot of room to personalize the card for the recipient.

When printing your own printable Christmas cards keep in mind of your home printer ink. Some cards use more ink than others, so it is a good idea to have some backup ink in the house so that you do not run out in the middle of your printing.

What supplies do you need for these free printable cards?

The supplies needed to make these Christmas cards, or any homemade ones for that matter, are not difficult to come by. The only essential items are card stock, a printer with color ink, envelopes and glue stick if you plan on adding some embellishments.

1. Get a piece of card stock in the color you like. I recommend plain white ones for my printables.
2. Slide the card stock into your color printer and print.
3. Allow the ink to dry thoroughly before gluing any photos or embellishments.

If you want to personalize your fun cards even more, some other supplies you may find useful are markers of various colors, scissors, glitter, decorative paper, ribbon, thread and hand needle.

It is so much more satisfying to make homemade cards than buy them. Making your own card shows the recipient that you took the time and effort to purchase supplies, create a design, and put the card together.
