I like to show a sample of a thank you card for the last week of this 12 Weeks of Christmas series.  At this point, time is running short on planning and creating new cards/projects for Christmas.  If you haven't made your Christmas cards yet, you may want to consider making Happy New Year or Winter cards.

This card can easily be changed into a winter birthday simply by changing the sentiment.  

I hope you have enjoyed the past 12 weeks of Christmas ideas and find them helpful with your paper crafting.  They have been fun to design for you!

Measurements

• Smoky Slate Card stock: 4-1/4” x 8-1/2”, scored in half at 4-1/4” [card base]

Instructions

1. Cut the largest circle (your choice, both dies examples shown) from Cloud Cover card stock.
2. Stamp hat and mittens (or sweater) in Secret Sea ink on Balmy Blue card stock.  If using the hat, stamp the pom pom of the hat onto white card stock.
3. Cut images out with scissors.
4. Adhere circle flat (with glue) onto card base.
5. Adhere knitted items with dimensionals on top of circle.
6. Stamp "thank you" with Secret Sea ink on Basic White card stock.
7. Cut out with banner dies from Stylish Shapes.
8. Adhere flat (with glue) on card with hat & mittens.  Adhere with dimensional on right side and glue on left side to the sweater (this method of using two types of adhesive will keep the banner level).
9. Optional to adhere white stars.

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!
