Welcome to my exclusive 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas series!

My philosophy of making Christmas cards is to keep them on the simpler side because you will (most likely) be making multiples.  I know many people who make over 100 cards and that can take some time.  I try to keep the folds, cutting and layers easy to replicate and duplicate.  More involved/complicated cards and projects will be shown on my lives and videos, so be sure to visit my social media channels for even more ideas.

Feel free to use these templates all year round by changing the papers and sentiments.  I recommend creating a folder in your email system to save them all.

The paper I used on this card is not found in any catalog, but rather the Online Exclusives section of the store.  

Enjoy the next 12 weeks of Christmas/Holiday ideas!
