[dollyk]

thanks

Let your kids loose with red/green/gold paint/glitter etc on a big sheet of paper, then cut Christmas themed shapes out and stick them on the front of cards.

mrsbadger thanks for letting me no how to make them I will be making them at the weekend so I will let you no how I got on

For you or the kids, and what sort of card are you looking to amke- country homely or stylish pizazz?

docrafts website os very sueful for ideas, and I am sure I can link you to a great many shops if you need be, but personally ebay is a great starting palce for bits and bobs.

Consider how many you need to mke- one year I took an order for 300, was awful! I much rpefer a few ones I can concentrate on to a mass produced load.

Some of the most simple stylish ideas especially for beginners are the embossed stencil cards, with amybe some chalk for emphasis- these work especially well imo with snowman stencils and are cost effective (required: stencil, mouse mat, embossing tool, chalk, fixer aka hairspray)

but anything goes.

I looking to make any style of cards really just looking for ideas really

I wuld start with the docartfts website then, they ahev a useful forum as well for ideas and inspiration.
