Handmade Christmas cards with a gingerbread twist

These cute Christmas cards are so easy and so much fun to make! Nicola starts by applying a brown Colour Brush around the edge of a cookie cutter, then uses a little water to spread the colour and create a soft base. Once the gingerbread man is completely dry, she adds a touch of sparkle with a Starflake Brush Pen for a beautiful gold glittery finish.

To bring him to life, she uses a Milky Brush Pen to add icing details, giving him that festive, hand-decorated look. Finally, she finishes the cards with Mattehop Gel Pens, adding extra small touches like buttons, patterns, and little festive accents to make each card feel unique and handmade.

Making these cards is not only a fun festive craft activity but also a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your Christmas greetings. With just a few simple tools, you can create charming, handmade cards for all your family and friends.
