If you like to be detail-oriented and accompany the gifts with a very original card, Here are two very Christmas proposals and easy to do. They are very detailed and if only to congratulate Christmas they will be a very successful proposal to give something that you have made with your own hands. You have the card made shaped like Santa Claus very quick and easy to perform and the tree-shaped card And in 3D, although it seems complicated, it will not be very difficult to do even with children.
You can see the step by step of this tutorial in the following video:

For Santa's card
First step:
We fold a folio-type cardboard in half and we make a circumference to form the face of Santa Claus. We do not form the top of the circle because that is where the hat will be placed. We have to Make the circumference on the folded part of the cardboard, not the open part.
Second step:
We cut a piece in the shape of a triangle to form the hat. We glue it on the top of the face with glue. We cover the part of the face with glue to go sticking the pieces of cotton simulating the part of the hair and beard. We glue the nose and eyes and finally the pompom that will go in the vertex of the hat.
For Christmas tree card
First step:
We take a piece of cardboard and we fold it in half. In its central part we measure about 12cm long. It is going to be the height of the tree. To make the cuts we are going to do the three levels. We will mark three parts that will have a distance of 4cm. In the first part we will a horizontal line of 12cm, it has to stay centered. In the second height it will also have a horizontal line 12cm. In the third height we will draw a horizontal line of 8cm and in the fourth height 4cm. We fold the cardboard with the part of the lines drawn outwards and with scissors we cut out the parts marked by these lines.
Second step:
We are sticking with glue the pieces of decorative paper on the different levels that have been marked outwards forming the tree in 3D. We take a piece of red cardboard and we are going to stick it on the back of this piece of cardboard that we have designed. The red card has to be slightly larger so that its edges can be seen. Finally we glue the pompoms and decorative stickers.
