Christmas Card- Snow Glass


Hello guys! After all the thanks have been giving out, it is the time of Christ's birth!
Just in case any of you want to make a tons of cards at once (like 20+), then it would be a great idea to start early!
_______________________________________________
So what you need:
1/4 of A4 dark blue color paper, compass, pencil, white pen (that can be seen on the dark background), brown color pencil, and SCISSORS (sorry i forgot to put it in the picture :( )

1. draw the circle with compass and cut it out
note: the radius of my circle is about 1-1.5 cm. it shouldn't be too big 

2. draw a trapezoid-ish shape below the circle with brown color pencil

3. trace the circle with the white pen

4. draw what you would like to be in the snow glass
note: i drew snow and a snow man with a little light reflection on the top left side of the ball

5. make some note and glue them on the card or you can simply write with any pens

6. on the front cover, write Merry Christmas with the white pen in the format that you like, then add on to that, Santa Claus with a deer pulling 

I really do hope this tutorial helps you!

Easy Fancy Thanksgiving Card!

Here is another Thanksgiving card! And as you can see, the style is different from the previous cards. Instead of using a single color as the background and have a hole in the front cover, there's no hole, and it's technically bigger, and you would actually need to put some stationary on it!
Don't worry if you don't have the fancy stickers (I don't have them either :/ even though I always want to get one)! What you need is basically color paper or you can either draw or stamp on the paper, trust me, it would be as beautiful as it is with the stickers :) Let's get started!
_______________________________________________________
Material: plain card, (a) paper with pattern on it (you can draw or stamp on white paper or color paper), sponge adhesive (2 small circles), orange color paper (pick a small or used one so you don't waste paper), (b) pattern paper small (at least 2 different kinds)


(I got these plain card and envelope pack from Michaels)

1. I folded the card first but I suggest not to do it since it makes it harder to put thing on it

2. Compare the card with (a) pattern paper


3. Mark at the end of the card so when you cut them down, they would match
(as you can see, I the length of my pattern paper bar is gonna be 3 cm


4. put the (a) bar on the card 
DO NOT GLUE YET


5. Draw a leave on the orange paper


6. cut the leave down and place it on the card above the (a) bar.


7. I strongly believe you can get some of these sponge thing in the US, because I got them form Taiwan :P


make sure they are the ones that has thickness 





So when you use them to fix the leave on the card the leave looks taller :D


8. Doesn't really matter what kind of glue you are using as long as it's strong enough to let everything stay on the card (duh)


9. then write " Thank You" in the front


DONE C:

Simplest Ways To Make Easy Small Thanksgiving Cards!


HELLO GUYS!
In this tutorial, I am showing you how to make Thanksgiving cards within 10 minutes :D
It is really easy to do for any ages and doesn't matter you are a beginner or not....
IT IS SIMPLE.

NOW LET'S BEGIN!
_____________________________________________
Materials:
one pair of scissors, fall color pencils (warm color-red, yellow, orange, brown, etc.), pencil (1), 1/4 of a A4 light-brown color paper




1. First, draw a shape out of a leave, any kinds of leaves, on the front of the card WITH PENCIL
(the only reason I'm using pen it's to let it shown on the picture)


2. Poke a hole in the leave area
MAKE SURE YOU UNFOLD THE CARD FIRST!!!
 you don't really have to poke a hole :P can just simply cut the leave out
 3. Trace the outline of the leave with your preferred fall color
 4. Color the leave and bring it to live! 
I use different layer of colors in order to create the contrast and brightness of the leave.
 5. Flip to the front page

I hope this tutorial helps you!

Small Thanksgiving Card #1 (Easy)



Material:
compass (1), color pencils (fall colors), scissors (1), pencil (1), blade (1, if you have one), 1/4 of an A4 light brownish paper.
 (cut the paper into 4 equal pieces first)

1. Fold your 1/4 small piece of color paper in half


2. Draw a circle lightly with compass, the circle should be located around upper central part of the front side of the card.

3.Then, start sketch out pumpkin, leaves, flowers and vane



4. color the sketch with color pencil


5. cut a small hole INSIDE the circle
***MAKE SURE YOU UNFOLD THE CARD BEFORE YOU USE BLADE TO CUT

6. cut the rest of the circle with scissor (I used blade to cut the pumpkin outline)

it should look like this


7. draw a person you want inside the circle, so the face can be seen through the hole. Your character here can be various- I drew the person who I am going to give the card to her later


8. Color it if you would like to!

I hope this helps you and have fun making it!
Thank your parents, teachers, friends, traffic guard, etc. by making cards!
