DIY Christmas Cards

Happy December! Today, we're talking Christmas cards, as it's important to get those out this week.

This year, we've decided to make our own Christmas cards. With a little high quality paper, and a lot of creativity, it's no problem at all! 

Here's what you'll need: 
  • Assorted Paper in Christmas-y Colors or Themes (Michaels, AC Moore, JoAnn's)
  • Glue Stick, or Glue Dots
  • Wooden or Plastic Stamps
  • Stamp Pad in Assorted Colors
Also - side note for those of you out there who'd like to design their own cards, but don't want to cut the paper, and put it all together - most craft stores sell blank cards in a variety of colors and themes, making this super easy. 

Start to think of ideas, and do a trial run with one cut. If you don't like it, of course, start over. I like to try out three different designs, and usually come out with one I like best. 

Once you've decided on a specific design, create in bulk! 

Here is our favorite design for this year!
