Christmas Cards Made Easy - with FabScraps
Christmas cards are so easy to make when using the gorgeous Angelic Christmas collection from FabScraps. I am trying so hard to focus on cards to finish up my Christmas card list. This collection helped make my task easier.
The graphics on the paper are delicate and laced with Angels and the nativity scene. My paper choices were wonderful for a sliver Christmas theme.
I punched some layers and topped with Prima flowers and craft store floral berries. My Christmas ornaments were super easy to create. I used the FabScraps Bauble chipboard pieces which are perfect - not too large. Then I topped with the project precuts that completely match the chipboard shapes creating your custom decorated chipboard.

In this photo you can see how easy the chipboard and precuts worked as the perfect pair to complete a project. I did paint my chipboard with gesso first to give it frosty edges.
I have added some step by step instructions to help you complete your card list as well.

Card Preparation:
2.
Start with FabScraps Angelic Christmas Collection – Angelic
Christmas 1 paper C61075. Cut 7.5in
x10in. Fold the card at the 4in mark.
This will leave 6 inches on one side.
3.
Punch the edge of the side
that is 6 inches long - using a decorative edge punch. When folded closed, you should have a nice
punched edge.
4.
Punch a piece of white
cardstock using the same decorative punch.
Cut to about ½ wide and glue next to the punched edge of the card – as a
white accent edge .
5.
Cut a 4in x4in square from FabScraps Angelic
Christmas Blessed Times 1 paper to create a border. Punch the top and bottom edges and glue to
the bottom third of the card.
6.
Cut a 4 in piece of
wide lace and glue over the Blessed Times1 border piece from step 5.
7.
Cut a 4in strip of
white cardstock and punch both sides. Glue
over the top of the lace – making sure the lace peeks out from both sides of
the white border.
8.
Top the white border
with a piece of silver ribbon.
9.
Place a decorative stencil
above the layered border and apply
molding paste, gesso or embossing paste to the stencil..

Oh this is beautiful! It caught my eye instantly on blogger, as I'm racing through while I eat my dinner. (No time for leisurely browsing these days!!) I didn't even realize Fabscraps made pre-cuts. Love them, but especially love what you created with them! :)
