Color-Your-Own Christmas Cards: 30 Cards & Envelopes to Color, Including 5 Pop-Out Ornaments

Product Information

This card design is free and you can print as many copies as you’d like,so while it’s a fun activity to do at home together it would be a great activity to do in preschool, in a classroom or in Sunday School too. I know my kids Grandparents would love to receive these holiday cards and unlike most Christmas crafts they’re nice and easy to pop in the post too.

Giving a Christmas greeting card that you’ve made yourself is a great way to show someone that you care and I’m sure you can think of lots of family members or friends that would love to receive this from your child. If you're looking for a Nativity-themed colouring resource, use these Nativity Christmas Mindfulness Colouring sheets. They could make for a fun activity to do in an RE lesson to support your teaching on the Nativity story.Initially I laid a dilute wash of perylene green, but while still damp, dropped in stronger pigment to give the shape and tone of the leaf. With a stipple action I added deeper colour to define the hollows and the veins to the slightly irregular surface. This paper responds well to the wet-in-wet technique, which gives the gradation of tone on the curved surface between the lateral veins. Initially I used a No. 6 brush for the washes then reduced the size down to a No. 3 for the remainder of the life-size painting.

This 3D nativity scene craft has been really popular in our home with my daughter and her friends making their own versions and this would also be a great one to display.

No collection of free Christmas cards would be complete without a design featuring none other than Santa Claus.

In EYFS, it’s not always easy for this age group to communicate their opinions, thoughts, or emotions. With activities like these Christmas card ideas for EYFS, children can independently guide you to the card they think their receiver is going to like. They can then choose for themselves what they’d like to write in it, based on their relationship with that person. The hardest part of making these Christmas cards with your children will be choosing which to colour first! For all my botanical studies I work to the actual size of the plant and in so doing can make an accurate comparison of shape and perspective. Although a watercolourist, I also favour pen and ink, as I love to draw. If you use ink, you do need to be confident, unless you place pencil guidelines before adding pen marks. Some species have smooth edges and can be found at the top of the tree, whereas more spikey ones are found nearer ground level, produced to protect the tree from animals.

These cards have a single-fold design so you can just fold your card in the middle so it stands up. Step 4: Get Creative

I’ve actually just recently bought a beautiful set of watercolor pencils. So they will surely come handy for making these unique Christmas cards! D. The under surface of the leaf displays the proud central vein and hollowing along the lateral veins. In a strong contrast to the upper surface the colour is matt and olive or sap green.

Holly (ilex) is universally symbolic of Christmas with its characteristic dark, shiny, spikey leaves. The flowers are insignificant, but the bright red berries of winter create contrast against the rich green foliage. It is at this time that we need to capture them in paint, especially before the birds eat them. Colouring is a great quiet time activity for kids and it’s one that lots of adults don’t mind joining in with too so why not print yourself off a copy as well and sit together while you colour in your cards. Don’t forget to grab a hot chocolate and pop some Christmas songs or your favorite Christmas movies on too! How To Print Your Christmas Card
