Make Christmas Cards

To make a Christmas card, you can start by folding paper or cardstock and then decorating the front with drawings, paint, or craft supplies like glitter, ribbon, and stickers. Alternatively, use an online tool like Adobe Express or Canva to start with a template, customize it with your own photos and text, and then download or print the final design. 

DIY handmade cards

  1. Start with the base: Fold a piece of cardstock or thick paper in half to create a card. 
  2. Decorate the front:
    • Draw or paint: Sketch or paint a festive image like a tree, snowman, or star.
    • Add embellishments: Use craft supplies to add texture and detail. For example, cut out shapes, use a star punch, or add glitter, ribbons, and stickers. 
    • Add a focal point: Cut out a circle or other shape, place a ribbon around it, and stick stars or other decorations around the circle. 
  3. Personalize the inside: Write a handwritten message inside the card.

Digital or printable cards

  1. Choose a template: 
    Go to a website like Adobe Express or Canva and choose a Christmas card template. 
  2. Customize your design:
    • Add your own text and choose a font. 
    • Upload personal photos to the template. 
    • Rearrange or add elements like graphics, shapes, and stickers. 
  3. Share or print:
    • Download the finished design as a digital file to share online. 
    • Use the website's printing service or print it at home on cardstock.
