Making Christmas cards: Simple instructions for festive greetings
Step 1: Cut the metallic and glitter papers to size

Cut the metallic and glitter paper to the dimensions 10 x 14 cm. These shimmering papers give your Christmas cards a special sparkle and make them real eye-catchers.

Step 2: Glue on the papers

Now stick the cut metallic and glitter papers to the inside of the card using double-sided adhesive tape. Double-sided adhesive tape is ideal as it doesn't leave any unsightly glue marks and adheres strongly.

Step 3: Stamp and cut out the motifs

Choose some stamps with Christmas motifs and place your silicone stamp on the holder. Dab the stamp with the ink pads. Turn the holder over and press the stamp lightly onto the white cardboard.

Then draw a delicate border around the stamped motifs with a pencil and cut them out carefully. These motifs will be the highlight of your Christmas cards.

Step 4: Stick on the motifs

Glue the cut-out motifs to the cards using 3D glue pads. 3D glue pads create a raised effect that gives your Christmas cards more depth and dimension. Place the motifs wherever you like to personalise your cards.
