B7 Christmas Cards

Most of these thumbnails show the front of the card, except for the first one which only shows the graphics because reducing the poem to thumbnail-size looked ugly. Click to get to the full page(s) for printing & instructions for assembly. Some cards have inserts. Quite often the inserts are in multiples, to get the most out of the paper, so you won't need to print as many of them as the outer parts of the cards.
