Welcome to 2025's 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas series!  I have been doing this series for the past several years and have received great positive feedback.  I hope you enjoy it too!

Each Wednesday, I will email out a card, tag or gift design with supply list, measurements & instructions.  Feel free to copy exactly, use as inspiration or save for future use.  These ideas will only be emailed and never posted anywhere on the internet.  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.

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.

You are receiving week 1 which means you will receive all 12 ideas!  Enjoy!
