Every year I make (nearly) all my Christmas cards myself. This year I made about 36. However, I don't have a lot of time so I made series of cards. Train rides are ideal for cutting out pieces of gift wrapping paper from last year. Gluing them to a piece of card stock is hardly no work at all. Here's the list of materials I used per type of card. Santa's belly: red card, white fluffy fabric, black card stock and gold card stock (from a chocolate letter). I made a lot of these. The idea actually came from a card I saw in a store. Pink card: pink card stock, Christmas stickers. Made only one for my mother and later a purple version for my belly dance instructor. Red/Brownish/Green cards: card stock, cut outs from old Christmas wrapping paper, 'happy holiday' stickers Snowman card: blue card stock, white fabric, doll stuffing, fabric markers, sewing machine and thread. This card can be felt, for the near blind grandmother of my boyfriend. Angels: maroon card stock, cut outs from wrapping paper, gold stars from holiday stickers or with a gold gel marker. Bright green with red cards: green card stock, thin red wrapping paper crumpled up, a sticker or card stock cut out, tiny star stickers.
