Vintage Christmas


I created a card last week using this same image and the French script and I loved it so much I just had to use the same elements again on this card.  I decided to give a fun fold a try for one of the challenges.  You can see how the top flap lifts up in the next picture and the last picture shows the sentiment on the inside.

Winter Wonderland--all tied up
Crafty Catz--a fancy fold or two
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown #17--baker's twine

Supplies:
Stamps: Eureka Stamps "Poinsettia"; Verve "Ornamental Christmas"; Hero Arts "French Script

    Making a flap card instead of a usual A2 card is a fun touch! The poinsettia is really pretty. Thanks for sharing your card in this week's embellishment challenge at 52{C}CT!

    Wow! This is a great fold! Love the flower and papers and die cuts. The front is pretty, but the inside is just as pretty (note to self: do a better job on the card insides - people really do look inside). I can see you have been very busy with Christmas cards - good for you!!!

    It's me again. Did I ever tell you that I made a card with that quote you have on your blog about lapping everyone on the couch? I got a lot of comments on it on my blog and SCS. It still makes me smile when I read this - TFS!
