We’re finally ready to show you the last holiday card we made at the Paper Source Holiday Cards Workshop I attended with my girlfriend last week. It’s a really simple, yet impactful, design that incorporated the use of a product I had been personally wanting to try – a sticker making machine!
Here’s what you’ll need to make this card:
- A6 folded card
- Smaller flat card in a different color
- Rounded corner paper punch
- Inverse round corner paper punch
- Holiday Expressions Tags (pre-printed)
- Pre-cut snowflake cards
- Crushed glass glitter in silver
- Xyron sticker making machine
- Adhesive eraser
- Double-sided tape
- Foam squares
We started by taking the rounded corner paper punch and rounding the corners of both the folded card and the flat one. Use double-sided tape to adhere the flat card to the folded one.
Then, we used the inverse paper punch to punch the corners of the holiday expression tag. Use double-sided tape to adhere the tag to the card and set aside.
Now the fun part, using the sticker making machine!
Run the snowflake through the machine – there’s a handle that you turn and it feeds your paper shape through. Use it to make a sticker out of any shape!
Once your shape comes out the other side, cut the sheet and peel off the clear side. What you’re left with is your shape stuck on the white side.
Because I was taking pictures with my camera phone you can’t see the adhesive that might stay stuck to the sheet (are you able to see the little bit that’s around the center of the snowflake?). Use your adhesive eraser to erase off the excess so you have a clean sticker. I took this picture after I had most of it cleaned off.
Next, peel the sticker off the sheet, turn it over, and generously sprinkle your glitter onto the sticky side of the snowflake and then dump the excess back into the jar to maximize use. Flick the back of the snowflake to get any of the glitter that didn’t fully stick off.
On the back side of the snowflake, apply some foam squares to it to create the pop-up effect and give your card dimension.
Mount the snowflake on the folded card and you’re all done! Another super simple holiday card you can make and send this season.
