Hi friends! This sweet Charming Village Punch from Creative Memories is really getting a workout in my craft room! I had lots of fun creating these cards and sharing them with you on a Facebook Live on the OCM Facebook Page, (If you didn’t get a chance to join me live, you can still watch the replay here: http://bit.ly/34w4hRJ) and I thought I would do a quick blog post with the measurements, instructions and a few screenshots from the video for easy reference! (Please excuse the poorer quality of the screenshots!)

MULTI-COLOURED VILLAGE CARD

Supplies:
- 8.5″ x 5.5″ cardstock, scored and folded in half to make standard card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″*
- Two pieces white cardstock 5″ wide and approximately 2.5 to 3″ high
- Charming Village Punch*
- Cardstock in various colours to use with punch*
- 12″ Trimmer with straight and scoring blades
- 12″ Decorative Trimmer*
- Tape Runner and Repositionable Adhesive
- Silver Metallic Dual-Tip Pen
- Rubber stamp for greeting (optional)
Instructions:

Cut the village border strips apart so you have individual trees, houses and churches in various colors. Begin adding the individual pieces behind the wave on the white cardstock, alternating colours as you like. Trim off any punched shapes that overlap the end of the white cardstock. Repeat with second piece of white cardstock so you have two rows of multi-coloured village scenes.
Centre and adhere both “village hills” onto the card base using Tape Runner Adhesive for the sold areas and Repositionable Adhesive for the houses.

Feel free to add extra embellishments such as gems or small accent stickers to your card!
Once the outside of your cards are done, don’t forget to finish off the inside! For the Window Card I simply added the Platinum Shimmer oval that I cut from the window to the inside to provide a spot to write or stamp another sentiment on. For the Multi-Coloured Card I used a small piece of scrap white cardstock and added a couple of the leftover houses and trees.

And they are ready to send! Love that! I hope these easy DIY cards inspire you to make some “charming” Christmas cards of your own!

Love these ideas. Tried the village card failed 1st attempt. Hills were not big enough. Will try again.
I'm sure it looked great…hills can be any size!
Love this! I made mine with a “daytime” background (a very light pinkish tan paper with white circle that look like snowflakes). Also put a white and green sparkly stone in the lower left corner. FUN!! Thanks!
Great idea! Glad you were able to use the ideas!
