Wallet Flip Card

Hi, today I would like to show you the Christmas card I made using a fold called a Wallet Flip design.   I actually don't remember the name as I learned this idea from a friend long ago. ;)    The top flap to close the card is held with velcro stickers (not shown).    The outside of the card is just decorated with a snowflake designed paper, with a snowflake, and a poinsettia layered sticker on top.   The green lace is from Cindy's Laces. 

The inside shows off my design of "Hettie's Christmas Tree".
I added 3 little star buttons from my stash.
The next photo shows more of the glitter that was added to the tree.

On the opposite side of the card, I added a pocket decorated with a rub-on transfer of Lolly Pop Road - Gumdrops.  And included a "Merry Christmas" card that slides inside of the pocket.   I used a Distress Ink Pad from Tim Holtz of Festive Berries to give it a little color around the edges of the pocket.
I like this compact card, perfect to tuck a little note or gift card! :)    Thank you for coming to visit my blog, and if you would please drop a comment my way!   ♥

Ella Elf Christmas Card

Hello!

Just wanted to introduce everyone to my newest image "Ella Elf" she is happy sitting on a mushroom with a candy cane and an Christmas ornament in her hand.   I wanted to make an image that is full of whimsy & wonder.    The kind of wide eyed wonder that a small child would have on Christmas morning.  

Thank you for visiting my blog Grateful Heart Greetings.

Welcome! Noel Christmas Angel

Psalms 27:14 -  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.    (The word "courage" means "be encouraged".)    Our world today holds in it trouble and fear;  but we don't have to take on these "troubles";  for if we allow the Lord to take hold of our hearts,  he will fill our heart with His Joy, and His Peace.    Let Him guide you to His Love and Truth.   

Welcome to my blog, Grateful Heart Greetings!     A little place that I will share my creations made with my own images & digital stamps. :)

I decided to make an old photo type of tag, using distress ink pads.  In honey and vintage photo.  The flowers are just some I had on hand, with a stick pin, and an old button gem at the top.

Blessings, Mary
