DIY Christmas Cards

If you love to be creative and festive like me, then you will love making your very own Christmas cards! A nice card can be pretty expensive, so this year I decided to "DIY" my cards! I have always loved making personal birthday cards, so this year I thought, why not Christmas too?! I already had everything I needed to create the cards so the only thing that costed me was the stamps to mail them! Which is totally worth it to put a smile on my family's face with a little surprise in the mail! Here are some tips and pics of my DIY 2019 Christmas cards! 




I used Christmas themed scrapbook paper and folded it over to make it thicker, like a card.

I also added these cute scrapbook stickers. They add so much cuteness to the cards!! Nice stickers can be be pretty pricy at the craft stores, but my Grandma is so sweet and picks me up some stickers all year round when she goes to Goodwill and gets them for .99 for a brand new pack! I would recommend doing this. Otherwise a nice pack of stickers can range from $5-$8 at the store. 

If you don't want to spend money on stickers, another option would be to doodle your own Christmas icons! This would probably be appreciated by any family member to show the effort you put into the card you made just for them!!







This one probably has to be my favorite! I used a small piece of cards stock, punched out 2 holes, and tied a bow with festive Christmas ribbon! Then I glued it on the front of the card and wrote "Merry Christmas!"


Here is my whole spread! It took me about 3 hours to make all of my cards!




I thought it would be a cute touch to add a sticker to help seal the envelope for mailing the cards out to my loved ones! 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Please let me know if you decide to create your own Christmas cards this year! You can comment below or reach out to me on my Instagram! @_valerie_burton

How to roll with the change

Although I've still been going into my office Tuesday-Friday at church, I'm starting to feel a little trapped on my weekends at home... And I just got word that I will be working from home staring tomorrow. These past couple weekends I've found some tips and tricks for me to not feel so stuck during this time. I hope some of this helps you as well! Note: this is all based off my personal experience and opinion.  1. Get dressed!  I know this sounds so simple! I found on the days I actually get ready (not full glam) but a normal outfit (for me leggings/joggers and a sweatshirt) I found I feel more motivated to get things done! The days I stay in my pajamas I end up just wanting to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians on the couch all day long! Not saying there is anything wrong with that! But I also NEED to get some stuff done around the house and I just found that getting dressed helps me to do it! 2. Adjust your focus. When I start focusing on the...

DIY Jewlery Presents

This year I wanted to make some homemade, DIY Christmas gifts for my family! In July I had injured my lower back really bad and couldn't even get from the couch to my bed without being in pain! So I started making jewelry again, which I hadn't in years!! I forgot how much fun it is to create something for yourself or someone you love! So for the Christmas gifts I'm making I already had all the beads, tools, and string I needed to make something special for my mom, my grandma, and my niece! I hope when they open it on Christmas they will know how much time, effort, and love I put into the jewelry! 😊💝 These beads are from Hobby Lobby and so is the bead organizer! - which is a MUST!!! This Jewelry making kit is from Target and it's AMAZING!! It came with cute letter beads, pliers, jump rings, chains, and clasps! All for around $15/$20 Of course I had to be festive and make the Christmas jewelry presents next to our Christmas tree while watching al...

Well the big secret is out! Tyler and I are going to have a baby this October!! While this was a pretty huge surprise for us we are so excited! I was saying before we found out that we're pregnant how I want to get more prepared before we start having kids by paying off our credit cards, getting better about managing our money, to get physically strong and fit....but I'm now realizing we have the rest of our lives to do those things! Goals are great don't get me wrong, but God's timing is perfect and I think I was just using those things as an excuse because deep down I was unsure if I was really ready to become a mom! Ever since finding out that I'm pregnant I'm really seeing God's hand on all of it. I've always wanted to be pregnant in the summer time and I used to always think about how October is a great month to have a birthday! (Everyone is back from summer vacation and it's before the holidays) to find out I am due Oct. 20th and I'll be ...
