5 Ideas for Easy DIY Christmas Cards - Blocked Patterned PapersIf you want to make a bunch of Christmas cards to send this year, you might be dreading the thought of putting together so many. Here are five ideas for cards that are pretty easy to put together. With a bit of forethought and some batch work and assembly line planning you can whip out a bunch of these fairly quickly.
