Inspiration: For Christmas & Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) every year I try to do similarly styled cards. In keeping with that, I used the calendar years for this year's cards.
How I Make Them: I started by making templates for the numbers. I used a ruler, compass and notecards and only made the numbers I needed. I used the templates to trace my numbers on different colored paper. After the numbers were all cut out I glued them onto the card stock - trying not to just glue them in a straight line so they looked a little more artistic. I also used markers to outline and decorate the numbers to give them some embellishment. Inside the card I wrote a message about the related holiday.
Alternatives:
- There are plenty of materials to use to embellish this type of card. In the Rosh Hashana card example below I used stickers. On my New Year's cards, I used markers. Glitter is an option I try to avoid since most people don't like getting glitter all over when they open a card. Confetti pieces relavent to the holiday can also be glued to cards.
- Using different fonts for the letters can also make an appealing card.
