Good Evening,  I have some exciting news, I am now part of the Design Team at Christmas Cards All Year Round!!  I look forward to this new adventure of creating cards just with a Christmas or Winter theme!    
For me personally, I think it will help to have some cards made and on hand for when Christmas does pop around!   Right this moment I am in "elf mode" to get crafting... and have made a few things cards and images having to do with this wonderful holiday season.

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!   ♥
