Close To My Heart ~ Homemade Holiday Cheer with FREE Mini Card Patterns!

Homemade Holiday Cheer with FREE Mini Card Patterns!

The holidays are right around the corner and with all of the celebrations, traditions, shopping, and decorating, it sometimes seems like a miracle that any of us have time for it all! As you continue to make your own festive preparations, weā€™ve got several mini cards and wooden ornaments to done gifts you may be giving to your friends and neighbors!

This collection of 3ā€³ x 3ā€³ cards and wooden ornaments are a breeze to make and a delight to give or receive. As a small gift from us to you, below are the card patterns to make these cards, four each of four designs!

Download these card patterns with corresponding cutting guides, here. (Here for our AU/NZ friends šŸ˜‰)

For the cards weā€™re showcasing today, we used our Deck the Palms and Wonderland paper collections, along with a few stamps from our Novemberā€“December catalog. (To view all the exciting holiday content in this catalog, click here!) Since these patterns can be used with practically any paper design, though, we made the cutting guides on the downloadable file indistinct. This way, you can visualize your own color and pattern combinations, and create little notes for any occasion!

As easy as it is to cut all the pieces required for your own mini cards, itā€™s even easier to assemble them, making this an ideal project for friend and neighbor gifts during this busy holiday season.

Along with these fun-sized cards, weā€™ve also got wood ornaments to help keep spirits bright with homemade holiday cheer! Our current Merry Making special features four styles of flat wood ornaments with coordinating SVG images for you to deck them just right! All of the ornament styles are available individually, in sets of three, or you can get them all in a discounted bundle, three of each style.

Each ornament is made of a lightweight, sturdy wood, and all the shape options come with their very own digital art files, so you can create customized overlays. With so much creative potential packed into one project, these ornaments are a treat for the crafters as well as the recipients!

We hope you enjoyed seeing these mini cards and ornaments today, and we canā€™t wait to hear about how you put these projects to use as we start off this happy holiday season! Which papers, stamps, or designs would you use in your mini cards or ornaments? Leave a comment below and let us know!
