Prologue: First of all, you will notice how simple these cards are. We were discussing what we were going to do for our personal Christmas cards this year. And, we discovered that the cards we do for Creative Express are not the cards you would want to mail to all the folks on your Christmas lists. So, we were thinking about cards to be able to mail for 37 cents. These cards fit the bill!! So, if you are thinking about cards for a crowd, these would work well. Also, these cards will be the last Christmas project for this season. But, over the past week, we have come up with about 20 more ideas!! So, look for Christmas cards in various upcoming seasons. And, I will think about cheaper mailing cards earlier in the season next year!! The typical Creative Express cards will be for very special people in your worlds!! 1. Detail trim each bulb. 2. Layer the decorative paper to the main cards. 3. Attach the bulbs to the main cards. 4. Complete the inside of the cards. 5. Place in envelope and mail for 37 cents. Merry Christmas everybody!!
