How can I make my christmas cards special?
Scented Cards - scenting your own cards
Scent your finished cards for an extra-romantic touch. Wet a cotton ball with the scent of your choice and squeeze out as much as possible. Then, place it in the bottom of a large ziplock bag. Place your cards into the bag, making sure they will not come into contact with the cotton ball. Seal the bag for about a week before removing the cards. They will be wonderfully scented.
Embellishing Christmas Cards
Christmas cards are a great place to use all of those sparkly embellishments! Think about using glitter glue; glitter; foils; metallic leaf on those cards to brighten them up.
Scented Cards - using inks
You can now buy a range of inks (from Ranger) that contain scents! They are great fun to use, but you will find that the scent does not last long. The best thing to do is place your card into the envelope as soon as possible after stamping.
Christmas Cards - shadow stamping
Using a shadow stamp and shadow inks are are great way of producing a quick and easy Christmas card! Just stamp a row of three red or green "shadows" and then over stamp with red or green christmas bauble stamps. You can do a whole page of these and then cut and layer them onto your base cards.
