DIY Christmas Card

I am loving the Festive Farmhouse product suite and have created a few cards that I love including this DIY Christmas Card today.

My project today features the Farmhouse Christmas bundle and FIVE of the additional products offered in this suite. It’s a perfect example of the beauty of Stampin’ Up!’s product coordination and amazing suite offerings.

I love Stampin’ Up! suites and love to share them through my “Taste of a Suite” product shares. I offer shares with the introduction of each new catalog that Stampin’ Up! publishes. Since the Occasions catalog goes live on 1/3/19 you’ll be able to pre-order your new “Taste of a Suite” product shares in just about three weeks! Wahoo!

Today’s DIY Christmas card has a lot of pieces and parts to it but I’ve broken it down in my video tutorial ahead and graphic just ahead so you should find this super easy to put together!

You may be tempted to just rely on the photo above but just know I’ve included a few suggestions and valuable tips in the video that I think you won’t want to miss.

Here’s a close up of my DIY Christmas Card so you can capture more of the detail:

Just so you know, the baker’s twine I used on this card is actually retired as it’s what I had on hand. That said, I have included a current Bakers Twine also in Cherry Cobbler, in the product list below.
