Ho Ho Ho It's Santa Time

Ideally this card fold should be made with a double-sided paper for the explosion part.  As I didn't have any, I inked one side with some Distress Ink to take the whiteness out of one side.  I ended up using that side as the more visible side.

I have used two digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The image is from The Paper Shelter and the sentiment on the inside is from Beccy's Place.  Colouring of the image is with copic markers, Wink of Stella and Kindy Glitz.  I attached a Santa face sticker to the belly band.

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

 I found a couple of different You Tube videos for this card fold.  The tutorial that I followed had three options for the card fold - square, vertical or horizontal.  The one I chose for this card is the horizontal version but at some point, I would like to try the other two options.

This was actually quite a simple fold but I like how interesting it looks when completed.

 I found this interesting fold this morning and decided that it would work for this card:

I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The image and sentiments are from Twinkle Lane Design.  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink of Stella.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the spearmint flavoured candy canes and to the little bell.
