Holiday Wishes Blog Hop!

Hello!  Hopefully you arrived from MakeUpGirl's fantastic site!  If you happened upon my blog another way and would like to see the whole blog hop, you can start at Wamfamily's site. 

For this hop, I decided to make a Christmas card with a new design I had discovered.  That evolved into making three cards with different cuts. Here they are from the outside:

I used my Gypsy to take a shape from Graphically Speaking and create this card that folds over on itself. 

 

This card folds into itself.  I am going to write my message and signature on the flaps of the inside.

The paper I used was white on the back, which was too plain for the inside, so I choose to put a piece of Core'dinations white glitter paper inside (4x4) with a border that matches the outside paper pattern.  That frame shape I got from Locker Talk. 

I used Jolly Holidays to cut out a character for the inside of my cards.  I really like this cart and the pieces weren't too hard to put together.  All these characters are cut at 3".

I put the characters on the inside of the card with some pretty thick dimensionals I have.  This give them some nice lift off of the paper so that they stick out. 

I chose to close each one in a different way.  There are lots of ways you could do this.  I chose a ribbon for the red card, a ornament cut from Jolly Holidays for the black card (this has a small dimensional on the back that is really just holding the ornament to one flap of the card), and a snowflake crystal for the green card (this is adhered with a glue dot).  

I think these cards turned out great and what I am so happy about them is that they seem plain on the outside but there is a surprise waiting for you on the inside!  You could slip a gift card in there or a piece of candy, anything little!

Ok, if you are with me this far, you deserve a prize - blog candy!  Look at this cute little scrappin' tote I found!  It also comes with an alphabet stamp set, a set of holiday chipboard letters, and red and gold Stickles!! 

 Be sure to leave me a comment telling me what your favorite thing about Christmas or the holiday you celebrate is.  You must also leave a way for me to contact you.  You can become a follower if you want to!
