Quick & Easy Christmas Cards {You Can Create Today!}

While we have no intention of skipping over Thanksgiving like so many retail stores do, we DO want to help you prepare for holiday cardmaking...and the best way to do that is to pack you chock full of tons of ideas.

Today, thanks to designer Jill Cornell, we have a Clean and Simple card that's easy to create, easy to duplicate and one that will certainly be put on display throughout the Christmas season.

Creating this card can is easy if you follow Jill's simple instructions. Take it away, Jill!

Step ONE: Print family photos to 2" x 3" (I always leave a white border on my photos).

Step TWO: Cut an 8.25" x 5.5" card base and fold in half (or pre-purchase).

Step THREE: Cut a window from the "Deck the Halls" patterned paper.

Step FOUR: Cut a 1.5" strip from "Pine Needles" patterned paper and cut to fit front of card. Adhere to bottom of card.

Step FIVE:Adhere window, photo and add "Merry Christmas" mini message sticker or similar sentiment.

Step SIX:Punch a star from vellum and adhere with foam adhesive to top of card.

Step SEVEN: Punch starburst circle from "Lights Aglow" patterned paper (B side) and adhere to center of vellum star. Add a rhinestone or pearl to center.

Step EIGHT: Tie knot in length of sparkle ribbon and adhere below photo.

Step NINE: Draw a border around the edge of the card (or machine stitch) then stand back and admire your work. A card everyone will cherish straight through the holidays & beyond!
