DIY CHRISTMAS CARDS PART 1

It's been quite a while since I posted any new creations due to my busy schedule but I will be updating more frequently with different projects in the next few days. These projects will include DIY Christmas cards and simple decorations.

Here is creation #1- simple and easy to make Christmas cards

The nice feature about this card is that the front is made from transparency sheets (aka overhead sheets used for projectors), so you can see into the card and the inside.

MATERIALS BOUGHT FROM:
- Winners (card stack which can also be found at Michaels and Chapters)
- Michaels (Ribbon and stickers)
- Staples (transparency paper)

STEP 1:
- Select a color from your card stack ( This is the small sized scrapbook paper stack but you can also use other types of paper.  I chose this stack and size so that I would't have to trim the paper)
- Fold the paper in half

STEP 2: 

- Open up the card and use a pencil to draw a border that is one inch around all sides and cut along the border

 STEP 3:
- Cut out a piece of transparency paper so that it is wide enough to cover along the border of the card
- Next, use a hot glue gun (or you can use tape/glue stick) to glue the transparency paper to the card

STEP 4:

- Choose a sticker of your choice and carefully glue it down in the center

STEP 5:

- Open the card up and cut out strips that are exactly one inch thick from another piece of paper in your card stack to make a border to cover the inside of the card

STEP 6:

- Make a bow out of the ribbon and glue it to the top left corner of the card
