"Be Jolly" Handmade Christmas Card

• Card stock
• Patterned paper and die-cut snowman (We used My Mind's Eye.)
• Die-cut letters (We used QuicKutz)
• Buttons
• Ink (We used Fluid Chalk by ColorBox)
• Trimmer
• Adhesive
• Foam dots (We used Pop Dots.)
• Corner rounder
• Paper piercer
• Circle cutter
• Scoring tool
• Computer/printer for printing inside greeting
• Note: If you do not have die-cut snowmen to use on your cards, you can easily make your own (see pattern). You also can substitute letter stickers for die-cut letters and stamp or write your inside greeting instead of printing it on a computer.
