Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! I am so excited to be a part of this hop and I am so glad that you stopped by for a visit!
Today we wanted to celebrate the release of Holiday Cards & More which is always one of my fav issues! Creating for this call is always so much fun! I just love Christmas and since Paper Crafts works six months in advance... I get a little bit of holiday cheer during the summer! If you want to order your own copy of Holiday Cards & More... click HERE!
The other purpose of this fun hop is to give you even more ideas for quick 'n easy holiday cards!
I am all about quick 'n easy! Most of the cards that I create are made in 5 steps or less. I love that! Not only do I save time by keeping my designs simple... I will also actually use the cards. If I make a card with a lot of layers/dimension... I find it difficult to mail. I don't know about you but I don't find that many opportunities to hand deliver cards. I love cards that are easy to slip in the mail.
If you are interested in how to reproduce the card that I am sharing with you today.... here are the steps:
1. Make card base and round bottom corners
2. Ink edges with distress ink
3. Color wreath and stamp onto base
4. Stamp sentiment
5. Tie ribbon with button and twine and adhere with glue gun
Easy Peasy!
Now... lets talk giveaways!
If you go comment on the Paper Crafts Connection today, you will be entered to win this fun prize package!!
If you leave a comment on my blog, you will be entered to win a copy of Holiday Cards & More! Comments must be posted by midnight (MDT) on Sunday, Oct. 2. I will post a winner soon after right here on my blog!
Make sure to visit everyone on the hop to get more great inspiration for quick 'n easy cards! Don't forget to comment all along the hop for even more chances to get your hands on a copy of this fab mag!!

So simple, but so elegant!
Wow, is that card ever cool! Beautiful and easy to make.
Fabulous, I can smell the wreath from here.
Thank you for making your design mail-able. So many are not, or require special packaging and postage, which gets crazy for Christmas cards.
I adore that image and you did a fantastic job with it. Love the card!
Love the way the bow balances the sentiment and actually becomes part of the stamped image instead of just being a bow tacked on the card somewhere because we like bows.
your card may be 'quick and easy' but it's very cute!
LOVE this card!!! What a great example of clean & simple, but beautiful!!! This says to me: I can get some cards done for Christmas, too!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
