Christmas is coming
and I decided to make a Christmas card. Here is the card I made. How have I
made this? It's very simple.
I had a thick, white
paper and I cut the piece for future card.
Then I took a napkin
and separated the top layer with a pattern, 2 remaining layers I did not
need. I chose a part of the picture that I wanted for a Christmas card and cut
it off (it was a picture with bells and cones)
I put a layer of
packaging film on the white paper piece and I put the selected pattern on top.
Then the important
moment came. It was necessary to carefully iron the picture to film and paper
with a hot iron.
When a pattern tightly connected with the paper, I took
scissors and cut unwanted edges off card size. I folded in half my handmade card.
I used the other
pictures from my napkin and made three Christmas cards.
You've made fine cards, Nadezda! Finally I got in to your blog text. The last one didn't allow me to enter, read or comment.
ReplyDeleteKiitos, Satu. Have a nice weekend!
DeleteHello Dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas cards are beautiful.
I am delighted with them.
I send greetings.
I'm glad you liked them, thank you, Lucy!
DeleteSuch gorgeous cards! What a wonderful idea to make cards with beautiful napkins. I'm going to have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have some napkins with Christmas pictures. Good luck!
DeleteOh, that's very nice cards! But without birds... ;-)))
ReplyDeleteEwa, I couldn't buy the napkins with Christmas birds, it's pity. Thank you!
DeleteOh how wonderful Nadezda, They are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lona!
DeleteThose are so very pretty! At first, I thought it might be expensive to use one napkin per card, but since you explained that you could make several cards from one napkin, that is a very smart idea!
ReplyDeleteHolley, if you have a napkin with many different patterns, as mine (there were bells, cones, berries, red leaves of Poinsettia)it's not expensive, you can made at least 4-5 cards. Thank you!
DeleteA very good idea. They look so pretty and it's always nice to receive a card made by hand.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betty! I loved your orange cake made by hand too.
DeleteVery pretty and clever, thanks for the ideas, Christina
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Christina!
DeleteVery creative and crafty of you Nadezda! You are a woman of many talents, plus you are so good getting things ready with plenty of time before Christmas. It really helps to get you in a holiday mood, right?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Rosemary! I don't like as we say ' to put the must be done things to the back burner' Thank you!
DeleteTe han quedado muy bien estas Felicitaciones Navideñas, nos has dado una idea estupenda.
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de Semana!
Un beso
Hola! Si tienes alguna servilleta con dibujo lindo puedes usarla y hacer unas postales. Buena suerte!
DeleteThey are very pretty cards. If you had to send a lot of cards to everybody you know, as they do in this country, you wouldn’t have time to do anything else. There would be no time left over for gardening.
ReplyDeleteFrico, my gardening is the cleaning paths from snow now. So what I have a lot is the time. I will send some cards and then will write e-mails. I'm getting lazy with internet. Thank you!
DeleteVery lovely christmas cards. It's nice to get something that is unique, not sold by the thousand in stores.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Jason. If you make a card and send it, be sure nobody will get the same.
DeleteThank you!
What a clever way to make cards! There is something special about receiving a card you know the sender has made just for you.
ReplyDeleteI've been behind in blogging lately and just saw your last post--beautiful photos! We have had some warm days, too, but I know the snow will eventually come.
I'm glad you liked the way I made the Christmas card. Thank you, Rose!
DeleteHello, Nadezda! I have something for you in my blog. Please, visit!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Satu, for choosing my blog!
DeleteVery lovely and such a great way to personalize the giving of Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteThat is way cool! I love your cards and they're very unique. Nice job! I hope you're staying warm and cozy. Thank you for your comments on my blog!
ReplyDeleteGrace, we're in winter now, every day is snowing, temps are -5...-8 C. But it is warm at home. I'm glad you liked my cards. Thank you!
