This week I have a special treat for you guys, a set of a couple printable holiday cards (for personal use only).
To download it simply click on the image (or the link) and if it doesn’t work try to right-click on it and opt for the “save target as…†option (it may be phrased a bit differently on different operating systems – but do NOT opt for the “save image as†option, as you will get the low resolution tiny preview image).
To use them, simply print the PDF file on a letter sized cardstock, cut them, lengthwise, at 4¼” and fold each piece in half, inward. That’s it.
You can then add a ribbon, a chipboard element or leave it clean and simple, as is. No more than a minute per card.
Now, as much as I appreciate Jennifer Mc’Guire‘s beautiful, artistic cards that every single time make my eyes pop or Lisa Spangler‘s adorable and beautifully made cards and as much as I love Kristina Werner‘s graphic style and creative use of products as well as many other über talented and creative card-artists out there – when the time comes to send dozens, if not hundreds, of holiday cards – I don’t think it is practical to engage in such intricate card making [not to mention one must also be as talented as they are to achieve all of that].
Therefore I always keep it quick and simple and there’s NOTHING SIMPLER than printing, cutting and folding in half…
I hope my mischievous methods will also be helpful to you in this holiday season.
You can always make a few special, more time consuming cards to your close family and best friends…
Make sure you didn’t miss the rest of the free printables on Creativity Prompt.
