I have made a set of three Christmas Cards, but you could easily keep creating to make many more!

I made these cards twice.  The first time I made them I filmed the video.  The second time I made them I took the Step-By-Step Instructions.  If you look carefully you can see a few subtle differences on the products I used.  I did not have a second Sticker Sheet when I made the second lot of cards and I had to make a few alterations to suit this. But really, it just gives the cards a little variety and gives you some more ideas for how you can use the products to create more cards.
