As I write this there are 7 weeks left until Christmas and to be honest, Christmas prep can be stressful and daunting.  However, I’ve learned to make it stress free, fun and believe it or not I’ve been able to complete everything on that to do list.  For the next seven weeks, I will be sharing ways to make Christmas prepping fun and stress free.

I normally start with creating a list of Christmas cards about 12 weeks before Christmas.  And yes, each year my list gets longer and longer.  However, I have learned to look at that list as my stress free creating time.  I figured by the time I waste driving in traffic, finding parking and walking through the mall to find the perfect Christmas cards to give out, I can make them while I watch TV.

I’ve learned to utilise my Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I normally purchase one to two kits.  It helps by making about 10 cards in each kit.  The cards are gorgeous and I do like to alter each design.  This year Stampin’ Up has decided to begin the Christmas prep in October.  Their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin made 10 beautiful cards.  (See Image below).  These took me less than an hour to make and I assembled them while watching TV.

The other thing I like to stalk up on is the Water Color Project Kit (see photo below).  It makes 20 cards and I normally pick up 2-3 kits and by the time I complete all the kits I have about 70 gorgeous cards that cost me about $2.00/each to make.  To order the Water Colour Kit click here.  Note that if you don’t have Christmas stamps to substitute the greetings, you’ll require the greeting stamps as well, which still works out to be a great deal.  Click here.
