Making your own Christmas cards can be fast, fun and amazingly inexpensive. For a relatively small investment you can equip yourself with card blanks, glitters, metallic sprays and rubber stamps, whatever takes your fancy. You can even just forage around the house for scraps of paper and fabric to get your production line going.

And with Christmas cards, it is a production line so we pulled together some really simple, replicable designs that are unique and personal and mean so much more to your friends and family. Our own ClareO has made videos and step-by-step tutorials to help inspire you to make your own Christmas cards. Just click on the links to learn more.
