The End

No, it can't possibly be the end of our 12 Days! 

It is no wonder, though, that these days have passed so quickly... have you SEEN all the amazing tags and cards!?  WOW.  I hope you all have been as blown away as I have been.  It's always great to see so many different interpretations on a theme and get new ideas for techniques.  Thanks to all of the designers for your super inspiration!

And to close this chapter here is a final card from me using Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas:


This card has a secret!  I created the layered center square from kraft paper, layers of patterned paper, and embellishments but only adhered the bottom and sides so that a gift card or cash can be slipped in the pocket.  Sometimes gift cards are just the thing to give and coming up with beautiful wrapping for them adds the personal touch that is lacking when giving an "impersonal" present.  It shows that you cared enough to take the time to make something special!


I used the banner sticker along the top edge, with buttons, and cut the calendar page from paper, wrapped it in twine, and layered some stickers.  The bow at the top adds a bit of dimension... this is one card you would want to give in person and not put in the mail. 


Thanks so much for joining me on our last day!  But no worries... we have LOTS more fun coming this month!
