So, after you have reached 50 such themes, make a list of people you want to give these Christmas cards to and write a name in front of each theme. Here, we are assuming that you have 50 people to give cards to. Now, you have to write down something else.

Search for 50 card messages, Christmas songs or Christmas poems on the Internet or wherever you can and write them down on a separate sheet. For messages and quotes you can find some funny Christmas quotes and short Christmas poems for children.

Now that you are done writing every theme you want to draw on your card, start collecting the materials that you might need for those designs. These are very important as if you don't have all of them ready at the time of preparing these cards, you might have to waste time finding and fetching them time and again.

♦ Scissors, Tape, and Gum
♦ Satin Ribbons
♦ Stickers
♦ Crayons and Paints
♦ Sparkle Powder or Sticks
♦ Envelopes

Cut the papers of your choice in standard sizes or random sizes, whichever you like and fold them into half. Start drawing all the themes one by one on all the cut cards and ticking/checking them on your sheet of themes at the same time.

So that you have drawn all the themes, start with the coloring part and color them all with the paints and crayons that you have. If you have to stick any cut outs of trees, holly, mistletoe or any other, do it now.

Knowing what to write in a Christmas card is perhaps the second most important part, after the look of the card. Now, we come to the card sayings part which is the inside of your card. You already have the sheet of messages that you have searched for

If possible, write the messages with paint brushes to make them look unique and not just some usual common messages written by pen. This is perhaps the best part about homemade Christmas card ideas, that you can say what you want inside them.

The basic outcome of this step is that your cards should look complete. Now, one by one, put them in the envelopes and send them out to people you intend to sent to. On the envelopes, you can write Merry Christmas in different languages, to make the cards look unique already.

So know that you know these handmade Christmas card ideas and have surely liked them, start making yours soon. Though there are many cards to make, try adding something unique to your cards. Another important tip while making these cards is to see that they don't look similar if you are giving them off in the same group of people.

Take out some time and do justice to every card that you make. The outcome is going to encourage you to do better for sure! We shall take your leave here, so you can start off immediately. Merry Christmas!
