"Christmas Cards made for Assisted Living - 2025"
I started making cards for an Assisted Living Facility near me. I donated about 500 cards to them during 2024 and about 450 this year. Here is some of one of the batches I made this year.
Here are a few of the finished cards. I made so many cards with different colours.
The process of making 165 cards:
I always start out by making the card bases in advance. Then the next step is to pick out the layered background colour and the golden card mat to layer with. I also used my cricut to cut the ornaments. I cut the base of the ornament, the top of the ornament, as well as the foam piece to add some dimension to the card.
Once this is done, I adhere the golden patterned paper onto the foiled background paper and put together the entire ornament.
Now I will adhere the green/golden card mat straight to the black card base.
The next step is to create the golden snowflakes and cut 165 of them on my cricut. Each ornament is a different size so I had to cut various sizes to fit properly. Once they are all cut, it is process of using wet glue (Tombow mono liquid glue) that first dries and then adhere it to the ornament. By using this glue, you don't get a mess because it is still sticky after it dries.
Lastly I created a special inside message using the print and cut method using my cricut. I used the same types of ornament shapes but inserted the message inside.
It was a long process to do 165 cards but I enjoyed doing them in batches. I love the gold papers I used (a paper pad from Michaels) and the lovely foiled cardstock. I really liked the many different colours trying to escape from only green and red. I hope you enjoyed seeing this process!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that you have a great one!
