Christmas Crafts - Christmas Cards - Gift Giving Bear

Around the holidays the sewing and craft stores are full wonderful fabrics with Christmas designs. The difficulty is deciding which ones to buy. Not only can you sew many presents with these fabrics, but you can use the designs themselves to decorate other items such as cards or gift tags. This fabric had many different bear designs that were small enough to use as motifs for Christmas cards. A touch of glitter gives the card an elegant look when finished.
