When November comes and Christmas is therefore slowly approaching, I always start planning to make sure not to get in Christmas's shopping spree. I just like planning ahead and buy everything in advance : decorations, gifts and Christmas cards... I don't know if I am only attracted to the most expensive cards at the store, but I always end up paying at least 5$ per card, which requires quite a budget when you are buying cards for a lot of people!
I therefore decided I would start making my own Christmas Cards last year. I only made a few for my family, but really enjoyed the experience so I decided I would create all my cards this year and let me say first and foremost than I am not an artist at all! I love simple things which require not a lot of time, effort or material... However, making your own cards make people who receive it extremely grateful. They will love your card a thousand times more as they know you put time and effort thinking of creating something for them :)
Making Christmas cards with Washi Tape is simply wonderful. You can create many different designs in a very easy way in no time! I actually found all my material in a Dollar store, so I suggest you go there to buy all your craft accessories. Here is an example of my Christmas material :
First, here is the basic material you need : 
1- You just have to cut a piece of cardboard according to the size you want to create
2- You then paste the Washi Tape on the cardboard 
3- After, you use a template to make the design you want (I used a Coke can here to create a Ĉhristmas ball), you draw around it with a pencil (not to leave marks) and then you cut it. 
4- Finally, you just need to paste your Washi Tape creations on a card (I also used cardboards for the cards) and decorate it as you wish :)
How easy is that, right!?!
Here are some of the cards I made :
