Make: Custom Christmas Cards + Embellished Envelopes
Message from Maggie:
For the past three years, I have been creating custom christmas cards (that don’t break the bank!) and today I shipped this year’s edition. Here is a glimpse and instructions to inspire your card.
Materials:
- Canva account
- Washi tape
- Forever postage stamps or visit Etsy for vintage Christmas ones!
- Mailing labels
- Rubber stamp
Create cards:
- Create a Canva account on canva.com.
- Begin creating a design by clicking the postcard or card icon depending on the style of card you prefer.
- Using the layouts on the left choose the one that suits your needs.
- Make edits to personalize the holiday card with a funny message and pretty photo.
- Click download and save as a high quality image.
- Print at a local print shop or online through Catprint.com.
- Purchase envelopes.
- Make your mailing labels using the same fonts as your card and print.
- When you are ready to send, place labels on envelopes and then customize envelope.
Embellish Envelopes:
- Use a personal address return stamp or sticker.
- Buy Christmas themed postage stamps or order vintage ones I found on Etsy.
- Stamp something seasonal or your monogram on the back.
- Seal envelope with washi tape.
