Card making Christmas cards Christmas crafts Die cutting How to Papercraft Techniques Projects
Christmas just makes us feel warm. Which is funny, because it’s almost always cold and wet (we suppose you could say the same about Britain, too) but there isn’t a time of year that feels cosier to us. Festive crafting is always so special because it manages to nail that distinctive fuzzy feeling and this glorious card is the proof in the figgy pudding. Soft pastel colours, striking reds, adorable motifs and glitzy embellishments – the 25th came early with this one!
