This year’s Christmas cards were a pretty low priority on my festive list. I started looking around for ideas in November but kept putting it off until I actually sat down, came up with an idea and made the cards over a few hours last Tuesday (which incidentally was December 16 – cutting it very fine for delivery overseas). I’m hoping that everyone has their cards by now – if not, Surprise! Here is your card!

No ink in the printer meant I had to handwrite the Merry Christmas. I think I did an ok job. I freehand drew the Christmas tree, made a template and used it cut out all the trees for the cards. I wanted to give the tree a 3Dish effect so I stuck one tree down, folded another tree in half and stuck that on top. I think it gives a 3D illusion.

Tony wanted to send his folks a card with something different on the front, so he designed and came up with this. I think it’s pretty awesome.
