YES! It's true! 12 weeks of Christmas starts TODAY!

That's right......that's right.....I said it! We have 12 weeks until Christmas!!!!  <thump>.... that's the sound of you passing out because we haven't even carved our pumpkins, or Trick or Treated.....heck, we haven't even sent our Columbus Day cards yet!!!

It's ok- I got your back!  During the 12 weeks of Christmas, I post a holiday item once a week.  I 'll have a full color picture and will tell you exactly how to make it!   Sometimes it will be a card.....sometimes it will be a gift giving idea. 

We'll start off slow with this cute little Christmas card. 

  • cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Real Red cardstock (fold in 1/2 to make card)
  • cut 5 1/4 x 4 Whisper White cardstock- stamp sentiment in Real Red ink and attach to card.
  • punch out 1 inch circle from piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock- then punch 2 3/8 scallop circle around 1 inch hole.
  • punch out 1 inch circle from another piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock- punch scallop circle around 1 inch hole.  Sponge both scallops with Wasabi ink.
  • punch 1/4 inch circles from Real Red cardstock (9 total)
  • layer small scallop on top of large scallop and attach to Whisper White card.
  • attach "berries" to wreath
  • tie bow out of Real Red 5/8 grosgrain ribbon.....attach to card using large glue dot (or snot dot as my kids call them)
Cute, Quick and Simple.......enjoy and be sure to check back for next weeks project.
