1 - Handmade Santa Greeting Card

Santa's coat, belt, and buckle are an easy way to make a fun and vibrant greeting card. Hole punches and wavy scissors can help the card look great.

You could make several simple faux 'fancy' Christmas trees greeting cards using a black cardstock, gold marker, gold paint, gold stamp ink, and gold gel pen.


3 - Light Up Cards Using the Christmas Noel Light Up Card Kit by Recollections

Length: 6 min 55 sec


I bought the light up card kit from my local Michaels store. I thought the kit was a great concept, but I used the parts to make my own custom light up card.


4 - Quick Snowmen Doodles Card | Last Minute Card Idea

YouTube Video: Quick Snowmen Doodles Card | Last Minute Card Idea

Length: 3 min 10 sec


This could be an activity idea for young children and families wanting to craft together. I used blue cardstock paper and various acrylic paint markers.


5 - Last Minute Holiday Card | Handmade Greeting Card Using Scrap Paper

Length: 5 min 56 sec


Sometimes we just need to hand make a greeting card on such short notice. One easy way to do just that is to use scrap paper.


6 - Fun Fold Greeting Cards | Two Different Styles to Fit Your Fancy

YouTube Video: Fun Fold Greeting Cards | Two Different Styles to Fit Your Fancy

Length: 7 min 42 sec


Fun fold (nontraditional) greeting cards require more steps to hand make compared to other greeting card styles. However, I shared a couple designs that are not difficult to make but will take time.


7 - "Classic" Greeting Cards | 10 Cards from the "Classic Christmas" Hot Buy Paper Pad

YouTube Video: "Classic" Greeting Cards | 10 Cards from the "Classic Christmas" Hot Buy Paper Pad

Length: 14 min 48 sec


It is possible to make many cards from a single paper pad. I used a Recollections paper pad from my local Michaels, but any paper pad with small designs that you can cut out and adhere to a card front could work!


8 - Winter Shaker Cards Using Pattern Paper, Clear Film, and Fillers

YouTube Video: Winter Shaker Cards Using Pattern Paper, Clear Film, and Fillers

Length: 11 min 25 sec


I admit these are not the best-looking handmade greeting cards, but they were a lot of fun to shake when finished! I use a variety of papers, stickers, fillers (e.g., glitter, sequins, flakes, etc.), mounting tape, double-sided tape, and clear packing material to make these cards. The clear packing material was thick and sturdy so it wouldn't break under pressure or during mail transit.


9 - Winter Greeting Cards | Using My "Say Freeze" Hot Buy Paper Pack

YouTube Video: Winter Greeting Cards | Using My "Say Freeze" Hot Buy Paper Pack

Length: 7 min 18 sec


Using a themed paper pad is sometimes an easy way to create multiple handmade greeting cards. I used a Recollections paper pad from my local Michaels, but any paper pad with small designs that you can cut out and adhere to a card front could work!


10 - Winter Greeting Cards Pt. 2 | Using More of My "Say Freeze" Hot Buy Paper Pack

YouTube Video: Winter Greeting Cards Pt. 2 | Using More of My "Say Freeze" Hot Buy Paper Pack

Length: 6 min 53 sec


This video was a continuation to the previous one listed because I enjoyed making greeting cards using a paper pad. I used a Recollections paper pad from my local Michaels, but any paper pad with small designs that you can cut out and adhere to a card front could work!
