This first one is a smaller version of my wreath pattern.
Sew on a little bow and some beads for berries - and there you are.
The second motif I used is the holly leaf.
Again very simple but it looks really effective.Chain 9 and sl st into 2nd ch from hook and next 2 ch. Work (2 ch, 1 tr, 2ch, 1 dc) two times along one edge. Work 2ch, 1 tr, 1 dtr, 1 tr all into last ch. Turn and work down the other side of the chain. Work (1 ch, 1 dc, 2 ch, 1 tr) two times along the bottom edge. 2 ch then sl st into next st. Fasten off. Note dtr = tr in American terms. Make three leaves in total and add some beads for berries.
The final motif is a lovely Christmas star.
This comes from a free pattern by Deb Richey, and is available here.
I think they all look very effective.
What lovely Christmas cards! Thank you for sharing your patterns!
