1. Paper cutting Christmas card making kit
Best for mindful crafting

Paper cutting is addictive, and this Christmas card making kit is an approachable way to try it.
The kit includes 8 pre-printed cards and envelopes, with 4 designs to try – a Christmas tree, a robin, a reindeer and 'Let it Snow' wording.
The print on the card is the cutting templates of the shapes to remove. Carefully cut around the lines with a craft knife or paper scalpel. The kit includes 8 metallic inserts in different colours which you place behind the cut front so the cut-away details show up in metallic relief.
It is so calming to craft with this kit!
