Handmade Christmas cards are special
Have your Christmas cards done instantly with 'You Can Craft' craft kit
I'm glad that I bought a copy of the craft magazine 'You Can Craft'! It was the October 2008 issue. It came with a project bag containing colored cads, patterned papers, die cut shapes, snowflakes sequins, Gingham ribbons and Pearlescent glitter - materials to help you make your own Christmas cards immediately! Christmas cards I made with the help of YCC
I'm no experienced card maker. In fact, I just started to learn about card making recently! Here are some of the Christmas cards I made with the materials and instructions given in the 'You Can Craft' project kit.
How to use this magazine
You will find yourself beginning to improvise the design after making four cards or so (e.g. using a different color from the suggested one, add a snowflake sequin where originally there is none). That was what happened to me, haha!
I added strips to the original design. My Christmas cake doesn't look very nice, :P
I used a different colored card and die cut.
This is inevitable though, as the materials provided in the project bag are not sufficient for all 69 projects. However, since you've already got a hang of what card making is about, and know what materials you need to make your own Christmas cards, you can go to your local craft store anytime to replenish the supplies. Try to get different colored cards and patterned papers to give a variety to your Christmas cards.
