Collage Christmas Cards, Postcards or Journaling Cards Created From a Masterboard

These cards are are unique and so fun to make. First a masterboard gets created using printed Christmas papers and once finished, cards are cut out. How you decorate them is fully up to you. This project is a great way to use up scrap pieces of paper and gives you a chance to “play” with Christmas ephemera and stickers. Here you will find 9 examples that were created using the cut up masterboard. These can be glued down on a card base to create Christmas cards, you can use them as postcards or can be used as journaling cards for a junk journal.
