Frustration is Part of Success

Hi Everyone and Welcome Back,

Here is a card that I made a while back and it's been sitting waiting to be posted. So I thought I share this now, before we get really far into the Christmas season.

Do you like things, cards, that are outside the norm?? I know I do especially if they are easy to do.

Well I was looking at Pinterest the other day and spied a card that was a little different so you know it caught my eye.

I decided to change it a tad and make it mine, so to speak.

Here is the card that I came up with



And here it is opened


I love this design, It has a front that gets opened but that card front is just a portion of the card. Just a little different but easy to do and you can use some leftover paper if need be. This would make a darling Christmas card design as well, hmmm.... I have the coolest tree that would fit perfectly on the card front. I may have to make one and show you in a post later this week.


SUPPLIES USED ON MY PROJECT

This is a quick and easy card and a little different but a lot of fun.

Have a great week

Wishing You a Merry Christmas

Hi there Everyone
Whew, its good to be back in blog land today. I have been busy with behind the scenes things, teaching classes and life in general. And we all know how life gets in the way from time to time.

Today I want to share a cute odd shaped Christmas card, and with Christmas getting closer, you will probably be seeing more Christmas cards from me. I know I have card classes slotted in October and November and the cards are Christmas themed.

Isn't this the most unusual shape for a card. I love it. I decided to use a Christmas/Winter theme on it, Hey, check out those designer papers, they are not holiday oriented. But I think everything works great together anyway.


This is a fun card and it certainly is a funky shape. When you open the card, the inside can house a gift card.This card shape can be perfect for anytime of the year,(gift card or not) but especially the upcoming holidays.

Here is a view of the card opened.


I love these odd looking card yet they are so so easy to make and it fits perfectly in an A2 envelope.You just have to love these kinds of cards
