Christmas Card and Envelope Tutorial


Hello everyone!


It is Christmas time and giving time. I made my own Christmas card this year based on a photo I took while the hubs and I were in France. I took some great pictures I wanted to share for Christmas, only they were not very "Christmasy." I decided to head on over to www.picmonkey.com. They have a great little holiday app to make any photo more frosty-looking.

See all the snow! It was August when we were there....



To make your Christmas card envelope, here is what you need: Christmas photos, scissors, coffee filters (the flat kind), ribbon, doilies, and a candle lighter (to singe the edges of the ribbon)

Step 1: Place the card inside the coffee filter. My cards are 4 X 5

Step 2: Cut the coffee filter on one side only. The other side will remain closed. 


Step 3: Add your trim! I decided on a doily and ribbon. 

Now they are ready! 
Merry Christmas Planning!
