Crafty Christmas: Handmade Cards - Xacto Cuts/Die-Cuts




For these cards, the rules are pretty simple.

Materials:

Cardstock of various colors
Xacto knife
Glue
Pen/Marker

Step 1: Come up with a design concept.

Step 2: Cut it out.



Step 3: Glue in contrasting cardstock to make the piece come to life (and to hide all your mistakes that may or may not be showing on the inside ....

No, but it's really that simple. Easily my favorite, the tree has all the elements of a good homemade card. The rest look pretty amateur to me, but I don't really care. It shows I tried. And if you're wondering what happened to two of the cards in the first picture, it's just word cut-outs and none yo' bizzness.
