Although this one is not instructional - it is VERY inspirational. Hope you get a lot of great ideas just like I did from this quick little hand made christmas card tribute!

How to make a pop up christmas card
Again - with the theme of "cheating" (reducing the time it takes) to make Scrapbooks and Hand Made Cards...
I'd like to introduce one of the quickest ways I have seen to create a pop-up.
Hope you enjoy it.

How to Make Christmas Cards by Hand - Quick!
BIG TIME SAVER FOR MAKING HAND MADE CHRISTMAS CARDS!
Once again I have decided to cheat this year.
AND - - I DON'T feel guilty - which is great!
I bought approx. 100 different Holiday NOTE CARDS from Michaels (I couldn't refuse at 10 for $1.50); then I bought matching ribbon and embellishments for them.
By adding my personal touch this way - the cards are still somewhat hand made - and much more valuable than they were originally PLUS I shave LOADS of time off of the cutting and trimming side of things.
I may also stamp, watercolor and accent the envelopes - but that's about it.
In addition to this....I am also working with the KIDS to create their own Hand Made Holiday Cards.
Again, I am cheating by getting pre-printed images (although not cards) - and putting Glitter or Glossy Accents on them. *Although since my daughter is such a creative genius with PhotoShop, I might just get her to create the images we use...HMMMM....
Anyhow...since accenting gives the printed image a new dimension - for CHEAP - the cards will look way better than they would if they were ONLY printed.
I guess the moral here is that cheating (on crafts) can sometimes be a good thing!
I will upload the photo's when I get them done.
