    tallelf (2K)Easy Does It Christmas ...
    Christmas is a busy time for those of us who make our own Christmas decorations and homemade gifts. That's why this week's newsletter includes my little gift to you - printable Christmas cards (complete with printable envelopes), with three new designs for 2008.

    crackerblue48 (1K) We also have stocking stuffer crafts, using supplies you may already have on hand; Christmas centerpiece ideas, and four elegant ornaments. All easy to make; a pleasure to receive. Enjoy!

    Printable Christmas Cards ... with Three New Designs

    Happy Christmas to You from AllFreeCrafts!

    mcv2 (11K)mcards100 (10K)Each one of these Printable Christmas Cards can be used two ways - as an ordinary Christmas card, or as an enclosure card for money or gift certificates. Simply cut off the enclosure sleeve to make a regular card.

    I've added three new designs (my little gift to you for this Christmas). Just click on a card design that you like, then follow instructions to print both the card and a free printable envelope to fit it.
