Christmas Window Cards
by Educator Sharon Laakkonen
Sharon used circle punches to create these cute (and FAST) window cards! You can keep them simple or add special touches. The options are truly endless with these fabulous embellishments. Each 12x12 sheet of paper will make two cards, with left-overs for added accents!
Directions:
- Cut paper 5.5 x 8.5 inches.
- Score and fold to create a 5.5 (length) x 4.25 (width) card as shown.
- Slide top of card front into circle punch. Center the punch (push paper in as far as it will go.) Punch hole. The tree card used a larger circle punch to fit the embellishment.
- Decorate card as desired making sure to add a Prima flair button, resin, or wood icon on the circle frame.
A simple paper banner topped with a snowy Prima flower adds texture and dimension to any card!
Stitching and fringed paper add pizazz to this festive card!
Use Prima's pine cone resin as a tree instead! Just touch with gold and brown inks for more dimension. Add paper scraps underneath for a tree skirt. (Notice the little girl decorating her tree too?)

Holly Jolly Flip Card
By Educator Cari Fennell
This card has a fun flip feature, using the Tim Holtz Sizzix ornamental die along with Prima's Holiday Jubilee papers. Run the die through the machine, leaving the fold just below the top of the die. Everything is cut out except for the folded area.
Here is a peek of the inside of the card. It's ready for a sentiment or special handwritten message!
Use a variety of leaves for added color and interest to your embellishment clusters. Alter your flowers by adding the Holiday Jubilee flair buttons for a unique flower center. ~Cari
