Hello, Becki, here to share with you some Christmas cards that I made in 10 minutes or less. Yes, you read that right, 10 minutes or less. I love sending out handmade Christmas cards but making them in large quantities can be so time consuming! I decided to use the 12×12 patterned paper that you cut down into either 6×4 journaling cards or 3×4 journaling cards. I also grabbed a handful of patterned papers, some die cuts, stickers, and thickers. I gathered the supplies and created these cards (and cleaned up my mess) in an hour and a half while my kids were are preschool.
For each card I used a 3×4 journaling card (matted in patterned paper) and embellished with either die cuts or stickers.
Each card took me less than 10 minutes to create. I had my 5-year-old time me. He thought it was hilarious to watch me hurry and finish each card.
This card simply has a 3×4 card embellished with one sticker and I used a white pen to create some faux stitching around the edge of the card.
This card has one sticker (the wreath) and then I added some thickers to create the word “JOY” on top of the wreath.
This final card has two stickers on the journaling card (the holly) and faux stitching around the edge with a black pen. I used dimensional adhesive to make room for the twine.
Do you make your own Christmas cards? Consider using 3×4 journaling cards to create them with. It cuts down on the time immensely! Good luck, and have a great time creating!

What journaling cards did you use for this project? I have looked on the website and cannot find them? They are too cute.
Hi Michelle!
Becki actually made those journaling cards from the patterned paper. She just cut out the 3×4 bits that she wanted as the front piece – easy as that! 🙂 Hope that helps!
