Last year, my aunt inspired us all by creating beautiful handmade cards to send to family members - they were a Christmas treat in themselves!
So this year, Sazzy and I will be following her lead, using this great tutorial for origami Christmas trees as the basis for our designs:
We Grow By Our Dreams: Origami Christmas Tree Tutorial
We've found some lovely quality festive wrapping paper at only 25p a sheet in the local post office, already have gold star stickers, metallic pens and beads to embellish, and are scouring eBay for budget-priced blank cards (Hobbycraft is way overpriced!).
I'll post pics once we've made a few (and I finally have access to a camera-enabled phone!)
