Handing out cards during the holidays is pretty much a given but sometimes store-bought cards aren’t as pretty or personal as we would like. Today I am sharing with you four FREE Christmas card templates and teaching you how to use deco foil and Cricut party foil to make them look as beautiful as the expensive Hallmark cards!
During this holiday season, the blog is usually overflowing with Christmas crafts, like the new Custom Christmas Recipe Signs or my new free festive Crepe Paper Poinsettia Tutorial, so if you are in the mood for more cheerful Christmas Crafts check out the whole Home and Holiday section here.

What size are these cards designed to be when finished? I downloaded the svg of the bulbs with Merry Christmas and the bulbs and string seem to almost be to big for the placement or it seems off. Part of the design would end up being on the back of the card. Unless I’m doing something wrong/. Thanks

Hi! The cards are designed for you to scale them to any desired size. I made mine as 5 x 7-inch cards.
