Instructions: Festive cards for the special occasion

This guide provides you with examples of how very noble, personal cards with a modern look can be made with only with little effort.

Here's how it's done

Wedding card with fairy lights
The basis is a double card DIN A6 in white and from Kraft paper. Draw lines with a black Fineliners as "fairy lights" across the double card. The individual "light bulbs" are created by painting small round dots on them. For this you should Metallic-Liner in the colours Gold, Silver and Copper
For the pennants, small triangles are cut out of Kraft paper , glued on and "painted" with the fairy lights. If enough fairy lights have been painted on, the double card is cut off at the contours with some distance. The Kraft paper is now cut into a single card, which is glued into the white double card and thus represents a colorful contrast to the painted garland. Mini cards can also be made to match the wedding card, for example for invitations or for family members.

Holiday cards with lace paper and heart garland
Combine lace paper with hearts. Glue the central area of lace paper with circular Kraft paper . This gives a nice colour contrast for the Card design . Then simply fix the lace paper on a card or envelope.
For the garland, the heart motifs are first punched out with the Craft Punch and provided with a hole punch with hanging holes. Afterwards simply thread the hearts on a Yarn or a wool rest in white colour and stick them on the card. Finally, stick little satin florets and organza bows on the envelope or card as special eye-catchers.

Cards with sewn-on hearts
Punch outhearts from red Craft cardboard sheet , place three hearts on top of each other on your card or gift tag and sew over them with your sewing machine and red thread. Then simply decorate the cards with Organza ribbon, small satin roses, pearls and quilting stickers further
Extra tip: A gift tag on a mini-bottle can be a great mini present for the guest and at the same time a decorative place card.
