This week at
it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Christmas In July", which means she wants to see those Christmas/Winter Holiday projects.
This is what I did....
So, that's the outside (which won't centre align, for some reason)....And this is the first inside....
....and this is the second inside.
Like I said, not completely thrilled with how this turned out. First of all, it's quite a bit bigger what I like to make card....it's 6"w to accommodate the Merry Christmas cut from patterned paper. And, as you can see, when you open the first layer, you get a really good view of the fact that I used different coloured pop dots, and the glue line to fasten the acetate is visible. It is what it is, I guess. Santa digi is from Make It Crafty (no longer in business) while the presents digi is from...well, shoot. I can't find it in my digi folder right now. I'll look later and come back to update when I find it.
So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

I LOVE this. The papers are wonderful and that Santa is one of my favorites (not to mention the perfect coloring of all elements). I am thrilled with the way this turned out. Hope life is getting a bit less hectic for you.
ReplyDeleteWell I think it's a great card!!! You're picking the fly poop out of the pepper, my friend. I guarantee you whoever is fortunate enough to receive this card will just be overwhelmed by its awesomeness and won't think anything at all of the little things you've pointed out. Heck, who wants a 'perfect' card anyway?! The imperfection of making them by hand is what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteI love that card fold and you did a terrific job with this. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
ReplyDeleteWell I think it turned out just beautifully! These colors work so well for a Santa themed Christmas card and really loving the card design!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this month at my Crafty Wednesday challenge!

This is a GREAT Christmas card ...don't know what you're so picky about :)
ReplyDeleteAs Guest Designer for Creative Creases, thank you for entering the Secret Stamper's challenge. What's not to love about that plaid! I made this fun fold in June and you can see on my link how I handled that acetate and what showed through to the other side. Hope this is a help in the future. https://karenscardkorner.blogspot.com/2022/06/stampin-up-natures-prints-fun-fold-any.html
