I could not resist another Christmas card but today I made it large enough for a gift card to fit in. Christmas has always been the favorite time of year for my entire family. We love getting together, singing carols and just enjoying watching the kids open gifts with eyes of excitement. Today I used a Stampin Up Set called More Merry Messages and the same dp that was still on my work desk. I love making these front folds. Such a quick and easy card to make.

I stamped the envelope with the circle image reminder to not open til Christmas.

Stamps: More Merry Messages

Front Fold Up Gifts of Joy

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 556, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 546 - Rich Cucumber Twist, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 549 - Front Fold Up Card, and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 340 - Christmas/Holiday Gifts. I just had to make another Christmas gift card that was for a little boy, he will love the green in the gift section as well as his sister. I used some basic gray dp Eskimo Kisses today and orange ribbon today.

I cut and created my Christmas stocking from Quickutz using cucumber crisp and white cs. I punched some rich razzleberry cs with my crop-a-dile largest hole for faux brads. I stamped the sentiment on the side of the front of the card and the back of the envelope.  Hope you like it.

Snowman Christmas Gift Holder

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 546 - Rich Cucumber Twist, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 549 - Front Fold Up Card and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 340 - Christmas holiday gifts. Well these front fold up cards are so quick and easy to make, Anne I am loving them. I have a granddaughter that thinks purple is the only true color so I made this with her in mind today. I think I will slip a folded bill in the gift section. I used a new to me set from Inky Antics - Decorated Snownman and stamped in black then colored with copics V04, V06, YG09, YR07. Stamped the sentiment above the hand and cut and matted on cucumber crush for the top part of the front. I used some coordinating dp for the folded sections except on the 2nd panel where I created a gift section.

I stamped the envelope and colored them with copics as well. Hope you like it and I know she will if I put some green in with that purple. LOL.
