Christmas is 126 days away! He he he, it’s ok I am not trying to put pressure on you that Christmas is coming really I should say we still have over 4 months until Christmas and I thought I would start posting some Christmas related ideas to take a little pressure off you in December. I myself start making my Christmas cards and little gifts in July every year I make a bunch each month so when December rolls around I can enjoy to my favourite time of year.
To create this cards I chopped up strips of Jolly Holiday Printed Paper from Stampin’ Up! which is retiring this month AND 40% off until sold out….making it only $10.17 for 12 sheets…..I know you are thing what a bargain! I attached all the strips of Jolly Holiday to a 4 x 5 inch scrap of card stock then cut it out with the Top Note and my Big Shot. The image I used is from Perfect Punches and punched out with the 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle and the 1 1/4 inch circle, stamping in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive.
One gift that I love to make is Christmas card sets that I give to my not so crafty friends in early December, it is the gift that keeps giving as they then give cards to their loved ones. I have just make a little box, covered it with smaller pieces of Jolly Holiday Paper, popped in 8 cards with envelopes and created a “top” with a window sheet. I love my little holly with a Cherry Cobbler buttom center as a embellishment. Before to ask me for the size of the box because I know some of you will lol I just scored and cut to fit the cards did not really have a pattern {sorry kids}.

completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to
