• Step 1

  Select a design to print. I found some on a blog I follow...Angie's Knick Of Time.

• 

  Step 2

  Next tape a music page to a printer size paper. Select a random page or use a favorite Christmas carol or hymn. I use Washi tape to attach the page to the printer paper by taping all across the top of the music page. You don't want to have any loose corners or it will jam the printer.

• Step 3

  Paste the chosen image into a word document (his is how I do it, may not be the easiest way). Adjust the size to fit the size of the cards you have and then center the image on the document so it will be in the center of your music sheet.

• Step 4

  Print a "test page", place it over your music page and adjust your word document until it looks right on your music page.

• 

  Step 5

  Print the design onto the music page.

• 

  Step 6

  Carefully peel off the tape from the top and bottom of the music sheet.

• Step 7

  Trim to fit the card using the paper cutter or scissors.

• Step 8

  Using the glue stick attach the trimmed music sheet to the card, centering it on the card.

• 

  Step 9

  Now for the fun part! Run a very thin line of glue around the edge of the music sheet.

• 

  Step 10

  Tap a bit of glitter onto the glue.

• Step 11

  Shake it around to cover all the glue, holding it over a paper plate to catch the glitter so it can be reused.

• 

  Step 12

  Then if you want, highlight the printed design with glitter. I used a pine branch with a cone on it, so I used shades of brown and green.

• 

  Step 13

  Shake off the excess glitter and you are done!

• 

  Step 14

  I printed Merry Christmas on another sheet music page and cut them out to make the greeting inside. Just use a glue stick to attach them to the inside of the card.

• 

  Step 15

  Because I am an overachiever, I made some Merry Christmas "stickers" to go on the outside of the envelope using the same technique.

• 

  Step 16

  Now sit back and admire them! I got lots of compliments on mine...

Thanks for this Ellen .. I managed to pick up loads of music sheet books at a local charity shop now I have an extra use for them.
