Design your own creative Christmas cards - your personal touch for the festive season
Step 1: Prepare motifs
Start with beautiful motif paper, such as the "Woofy Christmas" paper set, which offers you a variety of festive motifs. Use either the tweezers scissors for delicate cutting or the contour cutter to cut out the desired designs. Make sure to cut clean and even edges to maximise the visual effect.
Step 2: Design the lettering
Now comes the creative part. Decide on a lettering made from letter beads - whether it's a cheerful "Merry Christmas" or the name of a loved one. Put the beads together to create the perfect greeting.
Step 3: Attach the beads
You have two options for attaching the letter beads:
Option 1 - With enamelled copper wire: Thread the beads onto the enamelled copper wire. Make sure you leave a little space so that the beads line up nicely. Now punch two holes in the selected paper. Feed the ends of the wire through these holes and twist the wire ends at the back. This will keep your lettering securely in place.
Option 2 - With VBS handicraft glue: Alternatively, you can simply glue the letter beads directly onto the paper with VBS handicraft glue. This is a quick and equally effective method of fixing the lettering.
Step 4: Design cards
Take your prepared papers and stick them to the double cards using 3D glue pads. These pads give your cards a great three-dimensional effect and make the motifs stand out.
Step 5: Decorate with washi tape
The finishing touch for your Christmas cards: decorate them with colourful washi tape. This decorative adhesive tape brings additional colour accents and creative designs into play. Experiment with different patterns and colours to give your cards a unique touch.
