We are in the Christmas card-making season, so let’s make four beautiful, easy Christmas Cards using simple techniques! So many of y’all prefer to make your cards different, while some love to mass-produce them.

I taught how to make these cards in my YouTube class on November 6, and if you missed it, I have the replay for you below. This first card is a unique gift card holder! While this may seem like a lot of work, I promise you can create many of these quickly!
