Holiday Card Class Tri-Fold Card

 A tri-fold card with a large background stamp.

 

 

And with the card opened you can see the strip with the sentiment lays nicely in alignment with the front sentiment.  Another fun and different kind of card for the holidays!

Merry Monday! Festive Friday! Building my Christmas stash!

                                                   

I love these color combos and think they are terrific for Christmas!  In fact I bought a roll of kraft paper just to wrap gifts and cover it with red twine, ribbons and tags...I think the presents will look so pretty under the tree!  I actually had this piece of kraft already stamped with some branches and pine cones from a set my BFF has...I had pulled it out and also found this strip of red in the same box, so I had mounted it on the side and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but then the MERRY MONDAY Challenge came up and voila... and I just realized this would work for the FESTIVE FRIDAY CHALLENGE !  It was craft red and green AND peace.  I pulled out Mistletoe and Holly and die cut my mistletoe with some ripe avocado paper and then stamped the design with simply chartreuse.

Thanks for taking a look...almost all the kiddos are back in school today...mom's (and grandma's) can have a breather!!  My BFF is babysitting her two girls...they start tomorrow!  Sadly she won't be crafting with me via Skype today!

Another card from the Love Lives Here: Holiday

I just love that cute little angel...I really am a "homespun" kind of girl...so this simple little angel really touches my heart...My BFF gave me this great Martha Stewart scalloped edge die and so I put it to good use with this card...cut it out twice in red, attached a green strip to the center to tie it all together...and then because I had the angel holding a little holly branch, I thought I would use the holly strip from Holly Jolly and emboss it...I think it turned out nice!  I embossed the "peace" from Peace Be Still set...another Christmas card done.

Love Lives Here: Holiday

This is such a great stamp set...so many very cute images...however, I was having a bit of a "mojo blockage"...so I went to the designers and cased their cards...that has helped tremendously...now I can start getting creative...in the meantime...this is somewhat of a duplication of their great design work...
