Whether you're new to card making or if you've been making cards for years, here's a great Christmas card from Designer Erin Bullock.

If you're new to card making, try to make one for someone special and watch their reaction. Receiving a homemade card in the mail is a great feeling. (We keep all of the ones we receive!).

Time: 20 minutes
Level: Intermediate
Size: 6.25" x 3.5"

Here's what you need:

• Craft Glue Dots®
• Mini Glue Dots®
• Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®
• Sewing machine
• Stapler
• Cream cardstock
• Patterned paper (green, red, brown and white chevron, brown)
• Wood shapes (Studio Calico)
• Glitter glue (Stickles)
• Colored staples

Here's what you do:

1. Layer patterned paper onto cardstock base. Adhere using Ultra Thin Glue Dots®.
2. Add stitching to various edges of paper using several stitching styles (zig-zag, stitch length, etc.)
3. Add colored staples as desired.
4. Apply Stickles to edges of pennants, allow to dry.
5. Adhere pennants to card using Mini Glue Dots®.

Have a very Merry Christmas,

~Erin
