12 Days of Christmas Cards: DAY 12

Are you getting ready for Christmas?  Are your days as busy as mine are?  It's that wonderful, crazy time of year when I try to do three times the usual amount of things and still stay . . . peaceful?!  Yes, amidst the hustle and bustle there IS peace - if I stay still long enough to sense it.

I've also realized I've posted a lot of special deals for you lately - but not any card ideas!  So here is my Christmas gift to you . . . 12 days of card ideas to inspire your last-minute creations.  For the next 12 days, I will count down to Christmas with at least one card every day - and maybe some special deals thrown in for good measure!  Enjoy.

This is a card we made at a recent CLOclub Card Class.  Love how easy this was to do with Washi Tape!

 The punched pieces were popped up with Dimensionals, and the thread was tied around the top layer only.

KIDS . . . really DO graduate!

Before I knew it, my sons were graduating . . . 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 . . . and even college graduation in 2010!  There are more coming up, hopefully, and I love every moment of the celebrations.

I also work full time in a college, so I get to see 'my kids' there graduate on a regular basis.  Each year, I make up grad cards in school colors.  The Center-Step technique seemed just right for this year's card:

The scoring and cutting were done at 1" width increments.  The paper strips were cut in 3/4" widths.  And a little faux stitching framed up the focal point.

I ended up needing a few more cards real quick, so put this one together using my scraps:
