Christmas Card Extravaganza - Day #2

I hope you are having a wonderful day!!

This is the 4th card in a series I am doing. Remember that all measurements are in inches.

Mary Fish showed how to do a double Z fold card on her web site. This gave me the idea for this card. I think the angel from the "Angelic Joy" stamp set (2010 Holiday Mini) has found the perfect home.

Card # 5

I couldn't resist Sandi McIver's easel card using "Snow Much Fun". I did make a few cahnges by leaving off a bow and adding a punched label so people could sign the card.

Card #2

I loved making this card, because it is so simple. The only thing is that it drives some people crazy when they are making it, because I used 1/8" measurements. On some cutter designs it is difficult to find some of the measurements.

Cherry Cobbler: 4 715/16 x 3 53/4

Stamps: Welcome Christmas
Ribbon: 1/2" Scallop Dots - Cherry Cobbler

Card # 3

This is another fast card, but one that really looks rich when you see it. This is a great card when you are making a "bunch" to send to family & friends.

Base: Night of Navy

Nightof Navy: 5 x 3 3/4
