This month I’m sharing a couple of quick and easy to make Christmas cards.
For the first card with the red background, I was going for a card that was quick and easy along with being flat for mailing. I added a few layers (because that’s my thing), but it would be great with less layers too. This card still has some pretty ribbon running under the sentiment, but by omitting the bow, it’s flat for mailing. You could get 12 identical cards using the ribbon from the assortment if you are doing your holiday cards assembly line style. If you made some red and some green cards, you could do 24!
Of course you know I love my double loop bows, so I changed the look of the green card up a bit. Either option is beautiful and will make your card making a breeze.

My card is topped off with a pretty double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using the plaid ribbon from the October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

WOW, Bonnie, what a gorgeous double loop bow on the card! I love the plaid ribbon. I’m off to see your tutorial on the headband. I have a granddaughter who wears them all the time.
I love the bow maker. I am all thumbs when it comes to tying ribbons; but this bow maker makes it so much easier. Ribbons on the headband look so festive and the ribbon choices for the cards add such Pizzazz. I enjoyed the mulberry paper tutorial and thanks for the link for purchasing this paper! Off to watch the tutorial on making that wonderful bow.
