This card is pure stamping and a twist on the traditional red & green hues.  It would also look lovely with different colors of blues.  If you don't have a cut & emboss machine, you can cut rectangles for the words and pink layer underneath and snip the sides to create a banner shape.

My philosophy on Christmas card making is to keep it simple and easily duplicatable.  Many of us make multitudes of holiday cards and there is no way we can spend an hour on each card.

If this is your first week, thank you for joining my list.  These 12 Weeks of Christmas tutorials are exclusively for those on my mailing list.  I will not be sending out prior weeks.

Feel free to copy exactly, use as inspiration or save for future use.  I recommend creating a folder in your email system (naming it 12 Weeks of Christmas or similar) to save each week.  That way, when you are ready to get creating, the ideas/emails will easily be found.

Enjoy!
