Well this is my first card for the Christmas Card Club, and my first Christmas card this year. And for a final "first" this is the first time I have made a tri-fold card. The challenge was to make a Tri-fold card using traditional colours. I hope I succeeded!
My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
I used a piece of A3 cardstock and the finished card measures approximately 13.5 x 6 inches. I used Spellbinders Grand Labels 11 to form the shaped edge along the top of my card. I then cut three shapes in red and embossed them with M-Bossabilities Dainty Dots folder. The images on the left and right pages are from Cuddly Buddly and die cut with SB Labels 11. The sentiment is from Little Claire Designs Christmas Labels stamps and mounted onto the largest shape from SB Create A Flake 4. The smaller snowflakes are Marianne Creatables. I then finished it off with pearls from my stash and tiny Papermania bows.
We had snow flurries all day yesterday but fortunately it was too light and soft to lay - and I'm hoping it stays that way!! I actually felt that I was in the right season to be making a Christmas card! LOL!
Well that's it for today. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend.
