Christmas Cards -

Here are four christmas card made using stick-on embellishments.
These embellishments make card creation easy, and are great if you are short on time or ideas.

Handy Hint: Shop for next christmas soon after this one. I brought packs of pre-made stick-on embellishments on sale for 10c (RRP $3) a packet during the post christmas sales last year.
