Week 1 ~ 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas

Published: Wed, 10/02/19

Welcome to the first week of 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas! My goal for these emails is to provide you with duplicatable ideas, not complex ones. I want you to feel comfortable and motivated to make your own Christmas cards, tags and packaging, without getting frustrated or taking a long time. Because we generally send out a lot of Christmas cards at once, these ideas need to be able to be made in quantities.

If you don't have all of the products to make the cards or tags, I would be happy to help you order them. All item numbers are attached to each product used. Or, IMPROVISE with what you already have. I am always tweaking ideas to use the products I already have.

Not all of these ideas will be mine. I am part of a sharing group where we help each other. This first one is from a women I met while in New Orleans. I love this one because the Brightly Gleaming product suite is one of my favorites in the entire Holiday catalog.

Enjoy!
